== Golden Lance from Eowyn ==
Eek!  I typed in lots of stuff for "Winter Weekend 1990", and discovered that the page was titled "Winter Weekend".   So I oh-so-cleverly took the content of the "Winter Weekend" page and put it into "Winter Weekend 1990", but then I not-so-cleverly failed to save it. Then I rewrote "Winter Weekend", the general entry, and saved it.  
Hi!  I just saw the proposed design for the Order of the Golden Lance (great idea, BTW) - the badge has clearly been "Caidanized" by adding the embattled bordure. If it is not too late in the process, I suggest that the embattlements be turned slightly, so that the lance is not shown going from battlement to battlement (which makes it look like the long thin gold thing is joining them), but rather that the lance goes from merlon to merlon, which provides some blue space around the gold object. I also suggest that the lance be drawn a bit thicker, even though that wreaks havoc with the proportions.  That makes it easier to figure out what the long thin thing is, from a distance of greater than a few inches. These are just suggestions to make the badge more legible.--[[User:EowynA|EowynA]] 11:18, 17 November 2008 (PST)


Is it possible to retrieve the original contents of the "Winter Weekend" page, and put it into the "Winter Weekend 1990" page?  I feel like if I mess with it further, it will get more and more lost.
Thank you  - --[[User:EowynA|EowynA]] 16:16, 10 September 2009 (PDT) (hiding her red-faced embarrassment for messing it up)


Rotating the embattlement does not require a heraldry change. It is just artistic. I'll see what I can find on a more distinct lance (probably in a heraldry book, actually), and scan it and make a vector drawing. --[[User:EowynA|EowynA]] 13:22, 17 November 2008 (PST)
I just checked and the original contents are still there. Click the history tab and look at the first version. Hope that helps. --[[User:James the Inconstant|James the Inconstant]] 17:06, 10 September 2009 (PDT)


== Crown Poems Summer 2008 ==
Got it into the right place -- thanks! --[[User:EowynA|EowynA]] 17:20, 10 September 2009 (PDT)
One of the participants in the most recent crown came to the wiki to look up their poem. Unfortunately, their poem has not yet been added. I know you're hella busy. Do you have a guess when the poems will be "filled out"? Would there be anyone else who could copy the poems in?--[[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] 11:30, 20 January 2009 (PST)
 
*Well... the agreement with the crown poem staff is that I won't add new poem books until the next coronation, so that the paper copies can be sold out. They just allowed me to put up the poems about us, so I could link to our royal page. So I'm under obligation not to put them up until June coronation. If they need them earlier, I can send hard copies. --[[User:Kottr|Kolfinna]] 12:49, 20 January 2009 (PST)

*I haven't found anyone else with pagemaker, which is the program required to open the source files. If we can find someone with that program and the time and inclination to do it, I'll happily send the project along. --[[User:Kottr|Kolfinna]] 12:53, 20 January 2009 (PST)
 
**Thank you. Understood. I have let her know of the necessary limitation. I also do not use Pagemaker.--[[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] 13:05, 20 January 2009 (PST)

*Sorry. I've been having so much fun editing event pages I forgot to look for new users. Thanks for picking up my slack. Shouldn't this system email the administrator when a new account is made? What criteria did you use to determine some accounts should be "deleted"?--[[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] 07:25, 4 February 2009 (PST)

**Well most wiki's allow any users (even anon folks) to make changes. We're using the wiki differently than it was intended, which is why I guess it doesn't email the administrator. There is probably an add-on that will do it, talk to Lorenz about that, to see if he can find one. The criteria I used for the spammer accounts were the very spammer sounding names... I've edited/spam patrolled a lot of things over the last decade, and those just yelled spammer to me from experience. --[[User:Kottr|Kolfinna]] 10:55, 4 February 2009 (PST)

I think the Lyondemere Knowledge Base is really cool, especially using the category to brows related articles. Should we do that elsewhere? Dreiburgen now has a ton of articles, so maybe it could use a DKB. ...Or do we not want to get carried away with that stuff?--[[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] 17:42, 17 March 2009 (PDT)

So I oh-so-cleverly took the content of the "Winter Weekend" page and put it into "Winter Weekend 1990", but then I not-so-cleverly failed to save it. Then I rewrote "Winter Weekend", the general entry, and saved it.

Is it possible to retrieve the original contents of the "Winter Weekend" page, and put it into the "Winter Weekend 1990" page? I feel like if I mess with it further, it will get more and more lost.
