Please let us know what they say. The links disappeared somewhere around September I think, and I don't know anyone who has gotten an official answer. I think they had been archived on the Internet Way-Back Machine, or a similar project, but I don't have those links on me right now. I might see if I can find them, if that would help.

So far I only heard back from "Game Support" which is the only place I could find to email them. They've sent the problem to "Web Support" but I haven't heard anything yet.

down to 1676. If we keep up this rate, we'll be done in 8 or 9 months! Keep it up! :)

The rate's slowed, and I am as to blame as anyone. Down to 1554, though. Let's keep pushing! I did my 10 today...

Check the first post in this thread for instructions, and the 8th post in this thread for some examples. If you still aren't sure what to do, go ahead an ask! And as for time, every little bit helps...

Don't know if I did most of the edits I did right hopefully, and I don't know if there is a way to check for me. I did maybe 20 of them?

Yup, anyone can click on "Recent Changes" to see all the... well, recent changes. Since things have been quiet lately, yours are the only ones there. Alternatively, you can click on "contribs" next to a user's name (in some places, like on the Recent Changes page) to see what that user has done in the wiki. (You can also get there through the "Special Pages" link by clicking on "User contributions")

Anyway, I looked at your changes, and yes, you're doing fine.

(The only big mistake you made is that Illsong is a ship, not a person. No problem, though. I fixed it.)

I've added some more categories to some of your edits. In the future, while you've got something open and are editing it anyway, if there are any categories you can think of to tag it with, that would be useful too. Just add [[category:____]] after the existing ones.

(also, I like to enclose the subject of a page in [[ ]] brackets (which is usually a link, but translates to boldface if would link back to the same page.) In any case, those are both optional things you can do to make things look nicer. The important thing is what you've already done: editing the wikiseeds into readable sentences.

Thanks!

Ok well I'll try to help here and there when I remember. I got more distracted by looking up to see if Mordent had been set up, and the people in mordentshire ect. XD

I also did do a few of the [[]]'s but didn't know you could do it on the subject itself to make it bold. :D

The only one's I was able to add any content to was I think George weathermay and Jules Foxgrove because I'm read about them recently in the Darklord Book, and Van Richten's Arsenal.

Well, it took forever for them to answer me the first time, and when they did, they said they'd pass my message to the web department, but then I never heard anything. So I tried again and this time they answered quickly, and sure enough, the page is deliberately taken down. :(

I've done a search and replace to switch the links to Archive.org's wayback machine archive of the page.

I'm afraid your post isn't quite clear as to what you mean there.... o.O' are you speaking to my prior post? Or are you talking about something else entirely?

Whoops, was replying to what I thought was the last post in the thread, but it was only the last post of the first page. I've edited to add a quote (hopefully) clarifying what I meant. :)
