Suggestions
If you have any suggestions you want to share for the material in my Laboratory, please do! In particular, critique the template near the bottom that have yet to be made or are semi-complete. I'd like some ideas and input from the whole community. Input on the MoS would also be good later, but I'm still working on it right now.-- Lapis  Scarab   04:58, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Grammar
I think it should be "Joyeu was the last dragon...".

And "The Sister of the South" shouldbe the book article and "Sister of the South" should be the character article. Links to the other page can be given on the top of the page (see here for an example). -- That Devil  Guy  04:15, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, where are those errors on the page? Just point me to the sections and I'll fix 'em. As for the second part, I agree with you and know how to do that, if I wrote it differently on the page then that's another error I need to fix.-- Lapis  Scarab   04:33, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

I mean it says is should be used. I reckon was should be. Make sense? -- That Devil  Guy  04:37, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Depends on the circumstance. I think that anything taking place after Part II of Forests of Silence (i.e. the start of the main series) should be present tense. Everything before that should use the past tense (ex. Adin's story or early actioons of the character; look at Joyeu's Synopsis for what I mean. The History subsection is in the past tense and the rest is present tense). Where is that on the page so I can take a closer look at it?-- Lapis  Scarab   04:47, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

It all in General. -- That Devil  Guy  09:47, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I double-checked it and 1) The first sentence of Joyeu's article should be "is" since she is still the last Ruby dragon. I may edit that later and be a bit more specific. 2) The whole "The Sister of the South" thing is exactly what I wrote; "The" should be avoided in titles except in cases of repeated use (like "The Glus") canonical use ("The Fear"), or a book title.-- Lapis  Scarab   18:24, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
