| **Question - Caid should have the original file for Bevin Fraser of Sterling / Stirling. Since the former spelling usually accompanies Silver (and is apparently what is registered), and the latter spelling is a place in Scotland (which is more logical and apparently what she wanted), could you confirm that the original paperwork has the Silver spelling instead of the place-in-Scotland spelling? The OP and the O&A might be wrong. --[[User:EowynA|EowynA]] 16:07, 25 June 2008 (PDT)

| #The (current) armorial has the spelling "Bevin Fraser Sterling". The original armorial is out in the garage. I could check later...
| |
| #A sheet in her file labeled "HISTORICAL INFORMATION FOR THE GREAT BOOK OF ARMS" uses the spelling "Fraser of Sterling" for "surname or place name, if any." I've got no idea if she filled this form out, or some herald did.
| |
| #An armory form in the file has the name "Bevin Fraser of Stirling", though I strongly suspect it post-dates the registration of her device. No indication either way.
| |
| #The notification letter from Karina (dtd. 13 March 1974), indicating that her device "has been found suitable" is addressed to "Bevin Fraser of Stirling". (side note: At the bottom is a note "KFW/at". Any idea who "at" was?)
| |
|
| |
| So based on this letter, which is really the only sheet I can place in time, I would say that the Armorial may be in error. The OP, though is correct, in that it agrees with the Armorial.--[[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] 23:13, 25 June 2008 (PDT)

| It sounds to me like the Armorial was wrong (and likely has been wrong for 30 years or more). Remember that in Karina's day, one did not note the registration of the name as a separate action. The registration of the device was de facto the registration of the name that accompanied it. Bevin now lives in Atlantia, but the original registration was here, and the bulk of her SCA work (I believe) is part of Caid's history. Is it possible to add that correction to the next LoI as a correction to an error made by the typist of the O&A? I have an O&A from Renfield's tenure as Clarion (O&A producer) floating around here somewhere. If I run across it, I'll see if it was correct in the typewritten version, or if the error goes back even then. Sorry, don't know who "at" might be. --[[User:EowynA|EowynA]] 00:51, 26 June 2008 (PDT)

| ==Change to how User Groups Work==
| |
| Great news! The Kingdom Webwright has given us a 3 month window to test to see how it would work if all users had edit abilities. So all users have been added to the "Commenters" group which allows you to edit live pages and upload photos. Jump right in and start adding new pages and editing old ones! If you need help on how to edit the wiki, visit [[Help:Contents]]. If I don't know who you are (i.e. I need to match your SCA name to your wiki account) you will not be added to the commenters group. This is rare, only a few of you I haven't been able to place. Email me at wiki@caid-commons.org if you need further help. --[[User:Kottr|Kolfinna]] 13:40, 20 August 2008 (PDT)

| Since I'm now Crown Princess, I will be turning over the admin reigns to THL Lachlan [[User_Talk:Lachlan]]. Please work with him from here on out. Thanks Lachlan! --[[User:Kottr|Kolfinna]] 17:59, 24 August 2008 (PDT)

| ==Changing User Names==
| |
| In regards to [[User talk:Aurora cecilia]] - you can change the user name, but you need to warn them ahead of time, because if they don't know about it, they won't be able to log them into the system. Go to [[Special:Renameuser]] to do it. You may have noticed a number of user accounts that I have named z-deleted1, ..2, ..3, etc. When people make duplicate accounts or make spam accounts, I rename into the z lettering, so that way it's at the bottom of the page and easier to ignore. The wiki does not allow you to delete user names.
