Talk:Merpcon

I could use a little more guidance on what I need to tweak/edit/update/change on this page to clean it up. This is my first submission to Wikipedia. I will gladly adjust it to be compliant, but I would appreciate a little more guidance. Thank you!

I did a number of cleanups and edits, including categorization. I'll keep reading more about the wikipedia standards, and fixing as i figure out what else is needed. Please let me know of anything major I need to rectify. Thanks! Kmleon 18:45, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I've cleaned things up a bit and added some structure. It would definitely be worth while to find some existing categories to use, rather than link to ones which do not exist yet. Also ... "Original source, with edits for Wikipedia, from the [6] Old Merp.com, [7] New Merp.com, and [8] MerpCon websites from MerpCon Volunteers. Copied with permission from the site owners at [9] dev.merp.com and the convention organizers at [10] www.merpcon.org." ... I take it you've documented this permission?

MerpCon variants?
How do I make sure that variants of MerpCon end up at the same article rather than creating multiple stubs linking back to this one? The variants include: Merpcon (this one) MerpCon Merp Con Middle-earth Role Playing Convention

Change layout formatting?
Should the layout maybe be changed from section types (guest speakers listed by convention, then campaigns listed by convention, etc.) to instead be detailed by convention (MerpCon I with details of guest speakers, events, campaigns, etc... then MerpCon II, etc.)?

I would certainly like to see more detailed sections for each guest speaker. Previously trying to list them separately on wikipedia ended up having them deleted some many months later (Michael Martinez and Chris Seeman), even though they are repeatedly published and authorities on the topics. So maybe some cleanup related to the layout of the gues speakers would be in order, but I don't know if they should all be lumped under "guest speakers" as they currently are, or create separate sections for each merpcon and then put the guest speakers under there. The problem with the latter would possibly be the redundancy for those times that some guest speakers returned in subsequent years. However, having the separate convention sections for the rest of the descriptions (campaign, attendance, etc.) might work possibly. Anyone have suggestions? Kmleon (talk) 08:34, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Unrelated conventions added that need to be deleted? UberCon and DexCon
Can someone tell me if UberCon and DexCon actually host Tolkien-RPG-related events? I do not see anything on their sites currently. If they do not, then those listings should be removed soon. Thanks. Kmleon (talk) 09:32, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Do not merge with Merpcon
Merpcon ran from 2005 through 2009, it no longer exists as Merpcon. This is a different convention, though a continuation of what once was Merpcon. Tolkienmoot has a broader and different scope, events, guests, participants, than Merpcon, and Tolkienmoot is ongoing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmleon (talk • contribs) 21:43, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
