|<b>Welcome to my talk page. If you have something to say to me, here is the place to do it. You may start a new section at the bottom of the corresponding category, to keep it chronological. It would also be nice to put''' <nowiki>''~~~~~''</nowiki> '''after the title to lay a timestamp on it so I can know when the conversation has started.
 
As well, please try and keep the conversation on a single page. If I post a message on your talk page, please reply on the same page. I will be doing the same to your messages.

You should really do some more editing. You may be doing small edits and stuff, but they can be done by anyone on the wiki. Make some proper articles, masterwork quality even! [[User:Speed112|Speed112]] 21:55, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 
:I am working on that, but it's hard to make complete articles by myself, which is why I tend to just post my ideas on a talk page related to the subject, like [[DF2010_Talk:Kennel|here]], gather information and then make the article. It rarely works out, though. [[User:Speed112|Speed112]] 21:55, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Cave spiders are pretty important. As an economic creature and the safest source of silk, they can have a fair amount written about them. How much can really be said about an acacia tree or a black diamond, though? Once you have linked to the appropriate labors and described where to find it, a material article is pretty well done, in my opinion. <small>&ndash; [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:JohnnyMadhouse|JohnnyMadhouse]]</small>

:I really don't think it's necessary to add images beyond the df tiles for most articles, and adding the real life information is just extraneous nonsense that doesn't help anything. Every mineral article has a link to the wikipedia page on the same subject already (in the side chart), we simply do not require a chemical formula and a crystal matrix diagram for every mineral on a wiki devoted to Dwarf Fortress gameplay.

:For vermin articles, it makes sense to have a longer article for the economically important cave spider. For mineral articles, it makes sense to have a longer article for the rare and game specific adamantine. A D for Dwarf section for minerals like chert is simply unreasonable, and would take away from the specific purpose of the wiki, which is information first.

:All of the mineral articles fulfill these obligations. They are as comprehensive on the subject at hand as necessary, because this is a game, not a geology lesson. If players are interested in geology, they can find the information they need more effectively elsewhere.

:I was thinking that artifical waterfalls created with pumps should be included in the pump article, since the article is included under the world features category. In retrospect, I should have looked at the 40d article before adding to the 2010 one. Whoops! [[User:JohnnyMadhouse|JohnnyMadhouse]] 20:51, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
