Hy there, you seem to be interested in improving the atrocious spelling mistakes which plague this wiki. That's valuable work and I appreciate it. Please notice that certain important names like Great Ascendancy are to be written and left in bold. Same goes for names of people (first appearance only). Aehren 19:21, 5 July 2011 (CEST)
Hy again. Please leave two empty lines between the lead of an article and the main body. Same goes for the lists, just leave two empty lines (instead of a single one) between a text and a list. Thanks. Aehren 21:43, 21 September 2011 (CEST)
- Why? /Hildifons 09:14, 22 September 2011 (CEST)
- Simple Aesthetics. The introductory lead section of an article should be separated from the main body of article because it looks nicer this way. When a list is too close (only a single empty line) to a text it looks a bit slammed together. Articles should, if possible, be pleasing to the eye of the reader. That increases his pleasure. In short: because it looks nicer this way. I feel that it isn't something unreasonable to ask for. Aehren 14:57, 22 September 2011 (CEST)
- Large blocks of text are avoided through the use of headings and paragraphs. Text Outline follow certain conventional rules, and those who are accustomed to reading will perceive these empty lines as an error. /Hildifons 15:41, 22 September 2011 (CEST)
- Look at the article Emperor (according to the "current rules") and then look to this version. I honestly believe that the first version is simply better than the second (please notice the space between the lead and the main body and the space between the main text and the list). You're certainly free to disagree in this matter. Aehren 21:18, 22 September 2011 (CEST)
- The Emperor article needs to be divided into subsections with headings to be readable. Also, the paragraphs are to short. I understand what you want to accomplish with the empty spaces, but in most eyes it will downgrade a poorly structured article from merely flawed to erroneous. /Hildifons 08:33, 23 September 2011 (CEST)
- Very well, you may if you wish add the proper headings (but always use 3 =). I leave the titles up to you but I propose that we try to use the same for all similar articles. Please don't create subsections without reasonable reasons (reasonable amounts of text). However the two empty spaces between the text and a list have to stay. Aehren 18:11, 23 September 2011 (CEST)
