Talk:Dragonmarked house

Reference style

There's a weird edit conflict going on with references.

The style of references I'm using works better if a reference has to be quoted more than once. This will happen over time. Kimera757 16:35, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

As I've tried to explain on my talk page, it's really quite simple. Just add the text you want to use as a reference between <ref> and </ref>, and add <references/> in the spot where you would like the references to end up. When the page is rendered, the references will be 'moved' and a reference link will take their place. It is possible to assign names to specific references, so they can be used a number of times, by typing <ref name="NAME"></ref>. When using the reference again, simply type <ref name="NAME"/>. In any case, books shouldn't be listed under references when they are not linked to from within the article. There is no problem with adding them in an unnumbered list, of course. -- Ec5618 17:06, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Youngest house?

House Medani is not the youngest house. House Thuranni is. House Tharask is youngest dragonmark, so I have no idea where this idea comes from.

"Medani is the youngest of the dragonmarked houses to originate within the Five Nations, with the mark of Detection appearing only shortly before the War of the Mark." (Re: Dragonmarked p.52, House Medani) --g0rg0n 17:25, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Capitalization of article title

This page was recently moved to Dragonmarked House, but reviewing WoTC sourcebooks such as Dragonmarked and the Eberron Campaign Setting, the term "dragonmarked house" isn't capitalized as a proper noun (e.g. [1]). --Muchness 11:14, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I looked up the style wikipedia styleguides and they contradict themselves depending what article you read. In the Capitalization article it does state it should be treated as sentence case, however when you look up the article Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters) it states that that it references the Chicago Manual of Style 15th ed., 8.35; The Guardian Manual of Style, "Titles" keyword., while the Chicago Manual of Style proved less than helpful, the Guardian Manual of Style showed fairly specifically the following:

Words in titles take initial caps except for a, and, for, from, in, of, the, to (except in initial position): A Tale of Two Cities, Happy End of the World, Shakespeare in Love, The God of Small Things, War and Peace, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, etc

This being said, spending a few minutes looking at examples via Random article lookup shows that in practice Wikipedia does not follow these style guides after all, thus my error. --g0rg0n 16:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Deneith.png

Image:Deneith.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
