Salutations!
Hello SlimyDan, wanted to thank you for your contributions on Dwarf fortress. There were a few changes which I made to your edit though and I would like to point them out. You've made a mention of "boatmurdered" but your reference was Bay12forums, unfortunately forums don't count as a good source over here. (Please see wp:reliable source) Secondly, you've placed an external link within the article, which I have moved to the external links section. I have rearranged that paragraph but have still not added a inline citation, if I'm not mistaken one of the references (I think the NY Times article) briefly mentions it. Would you consider adding that? -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 06:42, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for your tips Ugog Nizdast, I'm sure you were able to tell that I'm new here purely by my work. I remember reading that New York Times article from the DF facebook page. I didn't expect my input to last long before someone changed it, I did it because I saw that there wasn't much about succession fortresses on the page so I was reminding people about them. Anyway, Thanks again.

 * Your edit actually made me notice there wasn't a mention of "Boatmurdered" on the DF page, I always assumed it was there. Anyway, if you haven't done this already, I recommend you read the five pillars of Wikipedia and especially about verifiability. Just checking out the good articles over here, you can see how they are written and especially regarding following the manner of style while editing. I barely 2 months old here myself and have got a lot to learn and if you have queries feel free to ask me or anyone. (Just ask here if you want)
 * PS - You can reply like how I did, by putting a ":" after what I've written in the topic rather than creating a new one. Good day! -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 20:16, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
