You seem to be interested in changing these. How do you like what I did?--[[User:Zchris13|Zchris13]] 01:44, 24 May 2009 (UTC) | You seem to be interested in changing these. How do you like what I did?--[[User:Zchris13|Zchris13]] 01:44, 24 May 2009 (UTC) | ||

First, let's be clear about some of what was deleted - here's the first that caught my eye. Note that no distinction was made between DF and RL information... | First, let's be clear about some of what was deleted - here's the first that caught my eye.

:::But J, you prove my point - "mineral"? "mineraloid"? Why should any DF player care, and how would they know the diff? ''(Not a complex person with mixed interests who also plays DF - that's not our mission!)'' If it isn't helping DF, it doesn't belong in this wiki, it belongs in another one. And if that information could be useful ''(and it is, no doubt - I've found RL geology to help me in DF more than once!)'', then it's better to go that RL wiki, and not copy all redundant info to DF articles, or edit it and decide what is/isn't "of interest" - or (using your example) worry/debate if it's accurately copied or not. If RL info is allowed in some articles, it will creep into ''all'' articles - RL info on plants and fertilization, on tanning processes and leatherworking, on sociology and psychology, on gemcutting and hunting and butchering and recipes for animal organs and (shudder)... yes, even on Combat, and weapons, and combat styles, and metallurgy and weaponsmithing (oy). It's a trap I refuse to fall into, or let this wiki fall into - I suppose proving that I am not a dwarf. | :::But J, you prove my point - "mineral"? "mineraloid"?

:::Links? YES! Include links to the RL articles, please! But redundant info that is better screened and more complete in another article - and already complete there, a RL article dedicated to ''that'' purpose - sorry, I just don't see it here.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 10:09, 21 April 2010 (UTC) | :::Links?
