| You have identified yourself as the webmaster of terrygoodkind.com. I ask that you act in good faith by restoring the contents of http://www.terrygoodkind.com//chats/PIchat5.php. Understand that it is cached indefinitely by Google and various quotes have been copied into other web sites under the fair use doctrine. This allows us to cite it at will. Unfortunately, removing it from the official site only makes Goodkind look like he's hiding something, which I'm sure is not the case. ] 17:43, 12 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| As I stated, I have not identified myself as webmaster of Terry goodkind.com, but rather www.terrygoodkind.net. | |||
| As for the afore mentioned interviews, you may or may not have noticed .com is undergoing a new look. Some of the content is not yet restored, but will be. | |||
| However, that is not the point. So Goodkind has an opinon of his works? So a few trolls got togather and asked Goodkind a loaded question, after posting that it was going to be a loaded question, and afterwards admidted that it was loaded... What you have is simply an interview. Some would wish to make more of it than it is. The point is that this site is for encyclopedic information and not for cross burning. You are allowing the cross burners a forum for their POV, when the site should be information as to the author and not petty gripes a few disgruntles ex-fans have. | |||
| I haev reviewd many many other wilipedia pages and see nothing like the crap you keep allowing here. | |||
| So S'up with that eh? | |||
| This policy in a nutshell: | |||
| Misplaced Pages is first and foremost an online encyclopedia and, as a means to that end, an online community of people interested to build a high-quality encyclopedia in a spirit of mutual respect. Please avoid the temptation to use Misplaced Pages for other purposes, or to treat it as something it is not. | |||
| 1. Primary (original) research such as proposing theories and solutions, original ideas, defining terms, coining new words, etc. See Misplaced Pages:No original research. If you have done primary research on a topic, publish your results in other venues such as peer-reviewed journals, other printed forms, or respected online sites. Misplaced Pages will report about your work once it becomes part of accepted knowledge. Not all information added to Misplaced Pages has to be from peer-reviewed journals, but please strive to make sure that information is reliable and verifiable. For example, citing book, print, or reliable web resources demonstrates that the material is verifiable and is not merely the editor's opinion. | |||
| Opinions on current affairs is a particular case of the previous item. Although current affairs may stir passions and tempt people to "climb soapboxes" (i.e. passionately advocate their pet point of view), Misplaced Pages is not the medium for this. | |||
| Misplaced Pages is not a soapbox | |||
| Misplaced Pages is neither a mirror nor a repository of links, | |||
| Misplaced Pages is not an indiscriminate collection of information | |||
| Misplaced Pages is not an indiscriminate collection of items of information. That something is 100% true does not mean it is suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. While there is a continuing debate about the encyclopedic merits of several classes of entries, current consensus is that Misplaced Pages articles are not: | |||
| -àIt is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, provided that discussion is properly referenced. It is not appropriate for an editor to insert their own opinions or analysis because of Misplaced Pages's prohibition on original research.ß-- | |||
| Misplaced Pages is not a battleground | |||
| Also, do not create or modify articles just to prove a point | |||

All I can say is read the discussions on the talk pages again, perhaps you will learn why most of your edits are POV. | |||
| :You should know that I have asked for a moderator to help with the edit warring on the TG page. You are probably not willing to admit it to yourself, but if you continue on making edits as you have been in the past, you may very well get banned from Misplaced Pages for a short period of time.

| ==In Reply== | |||
| Your explanation about the "worthead" incidents is believable and understandable and I'm glad that won't be an issue any more. As for you accusations of "editing several pages of material you had posted in the past, in an attempt to make it friendlier" I don't understand or recall the instance in which you are refering to. Could you provide me with a link or example so I can understand where you are coming from? Also from you: "I've countless pages of attacks and openly encouraging attacks about Goodkind, starting and instigating Goodkind bashing etc. from you on everything from ASOFAI to Dragonmount to Bakkers page". I don't frequent the Dragonmount or Bakker pages (and it's ASOIAF not ASOFAI) and don't understand that accusation either. Again clarification would be helpful to me. I also do not recall "bashing Goodkind" or posting "vehemently negative opinion" anywhere. Any examples would be helpful. Thanks in advance. ] 04:55, 1 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| I think the TG article is making alot of progress. I also thought most of your edits to ] and ] were on the money. I was wondering where you see the TG and SoT articles going from here? ] 04:52, 2 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Thank you for your input. | |||
| Personally, I see them going nowhere as WLU is determined to keep arguing with everything I do, or anything about Goodkind that isn't either sterial or of negitive content | |||
| ] 04:58, 3 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Hi Mystar, | |||
| Check out your user page, I added some comments. I'm not trying to argue with everything you do, I'm trying to get you to justify your edits of the page. My rationale for why I want the changes I do are listed on your user page, I could move them here if you'd like. I'm not trying for negative content, I'm trying for accurate content. I'd also like to say thanks, this whole thing has improved me as a wikipedia editor. | |||

| ==WLU's Notice== | |||
| (Originaly posted by ] on ] user page) | |||
| Hey Mystar, how you doing? I'd like to use your page and my own talk page to discuss things about the TG page since otherwise we use up a lot of space on the discussion page. You can link the discussion page here if you want to, that way people can see what we're talking about. Now, down to business. | |||
| The reason I took out the 'best known for' is because if you look at the link that you provided, it does not say he was best known for it. It just says that he fixed antiques, repaired violins, and painted. It does not say 'best known for'. If someone wanted to look it up, to see where this information came from, all they would get would be a page where it lists a bunch of occupations, and in no way distinguishes one from any other, in particular, it doesn't distinguish the painting thing from the rest that are listed. Therefore, according to this page, he is not best known for it, he is just as well known for painting as he is for restoring antiques and fixing violons (or whatever else is on the page, I don't remember right now but I can easily check the reference - that is why it is there). | |||
| If I edited out any mention of him painting, I would clearly be in error, because the referenceable page very clearly states that he was a painter. It just does not say he is best known for it. So, I leave it in, and leave the reference, and have it list the occupation as one among many. This is not vandalism, I am not putting in any erroneous information, I am just making the page reflect what the reference shows. Just like if I looked up one of the references for the NYT bestsellers lists for the books, and found that it was a NYT bs during 2003, whereas the wiki page says it was a bs in 2004. It maintains the accuracy of the page. I don't understand why you call it vandalism. | |||
| I just found the 20 million reference on the prophets inc website, so I'm content to let that lie with the disclaimer of domestic book sales. However, I did note that on the prophets inc page (http://www.prophets-inc.com/the_author/) it says "As soon as I started writing Wizard’s First Rule, I knew writing was my calling. I’d found something to which I truly want to dedicate my life.” | |||
| This contradicts what is currently on the ] page in wikipedia, where it says being an author was a life-long ambition. Perhaps you could clarify since you are in regular communication with Mr. Goodkind. Should the wikipedia page in fact be accurate, you could also let him know that the prophets inc. page is inaccurate. Note that since both of the pages I am talking about are right there as clickable links, you can easily check both and verify their accuracy for both. This is the purpose of good referencing, it allows people to examine the evidence for themselves, and make their own decisions. I think that both Mr. Goodkind and Ms. Rand would both appreciate this. | |||
| This information is also on my own wiki page. ] | |||
| Thank you for reading this, and I look forward to your reply. | |||
| ] 18:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :I don't think they are in contradiction, just very widely written so as to miss. From what I've been told, Terry enjoyed literature from a very young age and developed an ambition to write, but didn't know exactly the details of what he would write. It wasn't until he was writing Wizard's First Rule that he truly understood that writing was his calling. Mystar can certainly clarify this further. ] 23:24, 3 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Sure, as long as he can reference it. | |||
| Hey Mystar, did you want to add some of his quotations to his wikiquotes page? I think that 'novelist not a fantasy author would be most appropriate there. Thanks, | |||

| Hi Mystar, I see you've been rewriting the plot introductions to the books in the SoT series. I'm not questioning the factual validity of your edits (after all, I have a feeling you know the series much better than I do), but I do think that in several instances you put ''too much'' information in the intros. After all, the introduction is supposed to give the reader a very general idea of the novel without (ideally) giving away any plot details from the novel itself. In that sense, I think the general gist of the original plot intros may have been better (in some instances). | Hi Mystar, I see you've been rewriting the plot introductions to the books in the SoT series.

| == Marking T'lan Imass for deletion == | |||
| The ] is now up and running. Thought you might like to know. It still has a long way to go before it'll look truly respectable, but it's a start. - ] 18:50, 25 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Dear Mystar, | |||
| ==Back== | |||
| I think you may be a bit premature on marking the article on the T'lan Imass for deletion, considering I added it less than 24 hours ago. I think that it should be left up for at least, say a week, to see if anyone, say me, expands it to a worthwhile entry. Rather than puting up a citation for deletion, I think a good faith gesture would be to mark it with a request for expansion. I already did this, don't worry about it. If you wanted to edit the entry for grammar, spelling or point of view, you are of course, welcome to do so. However, as I believe you haven't actually read the books, I think editing for content might be seen as tendentious, much like me editing a Sword of Truth article for content. However, if you do wish to add content and have read the books, feel free to do so. I'll check it against what I've read and correct accordingly. Tah! WLU 20:28, 19 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Hi Mystar, glad to see you're back. I don't think you've missed much (as you can tell, I haven't made almost any edits recently, 'cause I've been busy focusing on other things). Lunch would be nice - but unfortunately I live in Ann Arbor, not Lansing :-) - so it's kinda far for lunch. Thanks for the offer though - ] 01:41, 18 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Thanks for your well wishes == | |||
| Seriously dude, why would you think deleting the page after it's been up for '''less than a day'''', no hold on, I want to sound like I'm yelling, LESS THAN A DAY, is a good idea? How about we wait a bit before deciding if it's usesless. Let some other people edit it a bit, add some content, weigh in on possible further inclusions. Then, if we still consider it useless, we can consider deleting it. I mean, I know you want to piss me off and all but this just shows poor judgement. Incidentally, though I've looked at the High D'Haran page, I never weighed in on deleting it, 'cause I don't know enough about it. You should be looking for pages created by NeoFreak if you are looking for revenge deletion, I don't give a crap if High D'Haran is erased. Not even voting on it, 'cause I just don't care. Incidentally, I've added a bit more to the page in case you wanted to remove the marked for deletion notice. If that's not enough, I'll be adding more content over the coming days. | |||

| I realize that you are still relatively new to Misplaced Pages, and may not be completely familiar with policies, but it's clear from this talk page that you have been pointed to ]. If you have not looked at it, you might want to do so; if you have, you should perhaps review it. Edits like and and this are unacceptably personal, as are many of your edit summaries. As the notice posted above indicates, your comments should focus on content, rather than on other users. I realize that other editors have at times been unduly personal in their comments, and that needs to stop as well, but external provocation is not an excuse for you to engage in attacks yourself. If you feel that users are acting in bad faith, you should find more productive ways of addressing the problem than making personal attacks, such as steps in the ] process. I regret that it has come to this, but if you continue to make personal attacks, I will have to report you. I'd like to emphasize that your contributions to articles are not in dispute here, and this is not about the status of any article you have edited. It is entirely about how you communicate with other editors. Thank you for your attention in this matter. ] 20:47, 19 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

Until recently I would have agreed that this was unnecessary, but recent conduct on all sides has convinced me that there are issues that will not be resolved without addressing the various behavioral complaints we all have made. It's clear that there's some disagreement about what constitutes a personal attack or incivility and about who has made them, and I no longer think we can move forward without some input from more experienced uninvolved editors.

| ==AfD notice== | |||
| Neo can do nothing but edit in poor judgment and bad form on Goodkinds pages. WERE he truly to have a care about Wiki as he clams then all he has to do is to stop and rewrite the content he finds improper. The actions of people like Neo show a decided lack of care or concern of the pages they edit. IF a person truly had a care then they would act with care, as we see you, neo, WLU, crawdad doing on their precious asoiaf pages. I'm thrilled that they feel so passionately about asoiaf. But their agenda is also made quite clear by the negative actions they take against Goodkind's pages. If you see a problem....FIX IT! Don’t run in and tag or delete it. I've been talking with several admin who wholly agree with that sentiment. Some people only want to tag and delete because it makes them feel important. It is much more work to actually stop and fix the error and the fact the Neo et al do this on several pages is very telling indeed. I see Neo is also being admonished from other editors for this same tactic. Same with WLU who suddenly popped to join in the edit warring against Goodkind and take pot shots against me, she was egged on from asoiaf mb....with no other activity here before. She jumps into the bash Goodkind party. Sorry you all can be seen to have an agenda. It is all too clear. | |||

No I think you are the one who is unclear on policy here. Misplaced Pages is not your personal soap Box. When you and your sock puppets make a decided attempt to damage pages it is incumbent upon someone to take up the cause. You all play a double standard and it must stop. | |||

| :I'm sorry this relpy is so late in coming. As I was talking about before there was some discussion about taking the more superfluous Ice and Fire articles and moving them to a private wiki. We were going to tras-wiki them over to a dedicated wiki but the request was denied.

| I guess I should have been more explicit in my post. I have yet to see one instance of true vandalism to the TG or SoT pages by a regular contributor. However, one could make a case that you have vandalized said pages. The reasons are: | |||

| My dear Mr. Connolley, I offer up my sincere regrets. I see your point and I will take my medicine, as a man should. | |||
| After discussing it at length with several admins, I have come to see your point and heartily agree in my error. I was acting in Good Faith that what I saw as open contempt and vandalisms toward Terry Goodkind's page (see any contribs by WLU to assure your self of bad faith editing and edit warring), I was on the IRC channel while this was occurring and was asking for advise and help. Even they felt she was exerting overt ownership and was in the wrong. But that doesn’t make me right; I did err, and should be held accountable. I do appreciate your intervening and your insight. I am still relatively new to Misplaced Pages and not up to speed on all the guidelines and rules. I am learning and your efforts have added me in being a better editor. | |||

JWSchmidt, helped me get a clear picture of my actions and what things I can do in the future to circumvent such actions again. As I told the Admins on the channel, I'll not disagree or postulate any unfairness. I’m a grown man as I will stand up and take my medicine. I will also not speak to WLU's actions as they speak for themselves ass do her contribs, nor will I presume to hypothesize on WLU's current torrent of attacks. | |||

Plot Introductions
Hi Mystar, I see you've been rewriting the plot introductions to the books in the SoT series. I'm not questioning the factual validity of your edits (after all, I have a feeling you know the series much better than I do), but I do think that in several instances you put too much information in the intros. After all, the introduction is supposed to give the reader a very general idea of the novel without (ideally) giving away any plot details from the novel itself. In that sense, I think the general gist of the original plot intros may have been better (in some instances).
That being said, when I have a chance, I might try and trim down some of the sections you've written to try and keep the sections accurate while removing anything that might be construed as "spoilers". It might take me a few days to get around to it though, I've been pretty busy lately.
Ok, take it easy. - Runch 15:13, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
No offence, but the info contained within the Plot summery is fine, it is nothing more than would be found on any info site or any book description. They only give pertinent info and no spoilers.
HOWEVER!!! The rest of the pages are abysmal! Sorry to have to say it, but the book plot summaries are so full of misinterpretation and supposition/conjecture they need to be redone. I've already started and will be doing all of them, so that they will reflect proper information and not people assuming that this or that happened.
I will be up front and lay it out, the people placing the whole criticism thing in Naked Empire and Pillars, are in the minority. They only so called criticism calling it too "preachy" are a select few. You will not find that on any professional review, nor will you find it on any thing other than a select few other authors message boards. I simply will not allow such smearing attempts to succeed. We can state the reality of the content and that it has some long discourses from Richard helping the Bandakar to understand what they are misunderstanding, and some directives of understanding to help the reader better understand and grasp the contextual inference of the book. We can make statements without using words that are placed there to demoralize someone reading it in an attempt to dissuade them from reading it and to pre condition them to what they would read. Further, it is acceptable to place information to assist a reader, but not to make up the mind of the one looking for information.....as we have seen.
As I've said, I've several pages of info and content from several people stating the fact they are openly asking people to make such posts on Goodkind's Wiki page, and egging them on. Not to mention these same people suggesting that negative content be placed etc. All you gotta do is ask. Mystar 22:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Marking major edits as minor is considered poor etiquette, and may cause some editors to take offense. See Help:Minor edit for more information. While I do not disagree with the changes you made, you should keep this in mind to avoid any problems in the future. I have made a dummy edit to be sure anybody watching the page has a chance to review your changes. Have a nice day! Dansiman 20:20, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

No where near as funny as The Truth, but does it deserve to be deleted? -HarryAlffa (talk) 21:39, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
An Invite to join Novels WikiProject
 Hi, you are cordially invited to join the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of topics related to fiction books often referred to as "Novels". We make no length distinction so all narrative prose fiction is of interest. This includes Novels, novellas, novelettes and short stories. Articles about the works themselves and the forms and genres. |
| As you have shown an interest in Steven Erikson, The Sword of Truth we thought you might like to take an interest in this well established WikiProject. |

Atlas Shrugged Article
Hello! As a member of Wiki Project Objectivism would you please see my post on the excessive coverage of fictional technology, etc. in Atlas Shrugged and my proposal to replace it with more coverage of the meaning of the events in that novel. Thanks. —Blanchette (talk) 03:44, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
