Please hold off on creating any more pages like The Child of Daralet - Summary. I believe the text you are using for these is from the Zone, in which case, it should be archived using the Archive of Internet Article Template for the Zone.

The monthly summaries of story arcs, like the page The Fourth Sending of Darkness - Monthly Summary are player written. You seem to be copying and pasting text from CoD or Maggies, which were copy/pastes from the Zone.

I do not mind help on filling in the old summaries, but I want to keep them in one clear format. I believe the Zone articles can be useful for sources, and we can provide links to them under each month, but they are not the primary summary.

 * To further clarify: The reason that I want the story arc monthly summary write-ups to be player written is that there are only official turbine/MS monthly summaries for the first few arcs. After that, there is no official source, so we have to write them. With that in mind, I want each arc to be in the same style, so player written is the only option. --An Adventurer 00:04, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

I see your point but....

Is anyone working on this? Do people still remember the event monthly summaries from 10 years ago?


 * I am working on summaries. I also have to do pretty much everything else here related to lore so they are not my top priority. We do not need to remember what happened in a month because we can look at the wiki's pages for the past events, their quests, their release notes, etc. And we can look at the other fan sites. And we can look at the history of dereth books, and archives of the zone summaries. Like I said, the official summaries can and should be archived on the wiki. and they can be linked to in the summary, as the official one. But I would prefer that all of asheron.info's summaries be the same style, and that has to be player written, like I have been doing for the recent arcs.  And, if you want to respond to messages someone leaves on your talk page, it is better to respond on the other person's talk page, so they will get a message saying someone has added to their talk page. --An Adventurer 01:22, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
