    I know, but before we had pretty much nothing other than the main ones. And it was necessary to get rid of the confusion people had about which one they referred to.

    Well I do want to point out that one of the Lander characters has two pages. By the way, please let me know if we're making any progress in translating the 5th novel, I may need that information since I'd love to flesh out Duhir's and Jamupeel's pages soon enough.

    Good job, though. Which one lander?
    Edit: took care of Marimba Sune/Suni. Original disparity due to english reading verses actual writing.
    Check my longer edits for other insighs.

    Yes, translation is crawling. It's a bit problematic since it seems the writing is more complex/difficult than Sns4. Formatting/presentation is currently a manual problem. I want to get a proper appearance. I'm once conflicted again about writing time past-tense vs. present-tense or mixed. I like mixed but I may not have the talent, though. The rest of the team leans to past tense.

    I think it's fine to go present tense, as it's the latest installment, and as usual, I'll put it to past tense when book 6 comes out. After all, as a historian, this war is ongoing. So for some people I've added MIA or ICY 952-Present (for example) instead of say just question marks to imply these are fluid events.

    Anyway, as personal interest, let's see if we can get more details about Jamupeel or Spoor in the meantime. Worn out writing the additional material for everyone else. for now.

    Should we write some scifi related definition pages?
    All too often I've met people in various discussion where they had not the terms down right. I dunno where to begin so lets just discuss things.
    Any ideas or suggestions or things you wanna do?

    Hello there,

    Operation Light Snow

    I have updated the page on Operation Light Snow a little to show the one battle that appears in the timeline and make conjectures of the impact or fighting that went on, how ever light it may have been. I kindly request review to make sure I have not overstepped or inaccurately captured what happened.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hello there,

    I'm getting a error 502 attempting to access Wikishout for further editing. Are our backups up to date for the most current edits on the website? Even if not, I suspect we've done some back up. The original Wikia website is luckily still up. Please keep me informed.

    Alright, when you are done with your latest edit session(s). Email Richard (cook879@shoutwiki.com) and request a complete database dump / upload to the webarchive. Don't forget to mention the wiki url or he won't know which wiki.

    Alright, I've blocked the current bunch of spammers for the next 6 months. That should keep the wiki mostly safe for awhile.

    The wiki has experienced a surge in spams and I've been blocking deleting by the dozens in recent times. Hopefully, it won't go on much longer.

    A lot more spam is coming up. Sadly since I've been away so long not sure if I know how to edit or delete the items; much less potentially block users. In the meantime as we wait for translations, I will put up some song stuff since it's been months, I need to think on it.

    Good thing the admins are doing a great job there.
    To delete an article use the "page tools" on the right side bar
    To ban a user go to the user page, then in Tools on the top-right bar , there's "block user" menu.

    Yeah, I'm too busy, too, atm.

    *bump*
    When the wiki says that the Abriel were the only Abh family given permission to have 'Elfin'
    ears where did that permission come from? Anyone know?

    I think it's the law which forbids all others from exhibiting this distinct form of ears. Don't remember if it's clearly stated as such in the Cots novel where it's said.
    This obviously leans on real historical precedences like how many claws a dragon symbol is allowed to display by non-royals.

    Sourcing is quite tricky with Seikai since the information is usually dispersed in the novels. Having to read and stop often to make notes results in a very slow process; then organize & connect, prepare and adding to the wiki won't help either.
