I just noticed that you've been entering blank spaces instead of commas in the gem values. Is that intentional and if so, why? -Moderator [[User:Caraamon|Caraamon Makdasi]]<sup>([[User talk:Caraamon|talk]])</sup> 14:03, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

:It has something to do with my educational background. I am Canadian and work in the science field and I picked that habit up somewhere along the way. I was taught to use spaces instead of commas or periods because in many countries in europe they use commas to indicate decimal places instead of periods. I am sure you can see how that creates problems when corresponding with them. I hadn't even noticed I was doing something differently and I can use commas from now on.- [[Ithrios]] 13 September 2013
:Actually, since I have your attention I have a question for you. You have bolded a few numbers and I think you use that to indicate you have had a couple of gems at that same value and you suspect it is a hard upper or lower limit of the gems value. Is that correct or does bolding mean something else? - [[Ithrios]] 13 September 2013
:: The problem is wiki code doesn't interpret the space as a thousand delimiter and if it were to be converted to a number it might cause issues.
:: And yes, the bold indicates more than one gem at that value and may indicate the upper or lower limit of value. -Moderator [[User:Caraamon|Caraamon Makdasi]]<sup>([[User talk:Caraamon|talk]])</sup> 03:23, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

PC Pages

I appreciate your adding the sect category pages, but please do not edit other players' character pages without their permission. --Isharon 05:26, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Sorry about that, it didn't occur to me that it would be a problem since I was only changing tags that no one could see. Won't happen again. --Ithrios 27 September 2011

I realize that it was a minor edit (adding categories), but I'd let them opt into appearing on the various sect category lists. --Isharon 19:48, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Gems

I appreciate you adding the gem values. It was a project I started years ago and forgot about. -Moderator Caraamon Makdasi(talk) 09:02, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

I figured whoever started had moved on and since I had an interest in gem values and types I figured I'd pick up where they left off. Thanks for the recognition though.Ithrios 5 August 2013

The problem is wiki code doesn't interpret the space as a thousand delimiter and if it were to be converted to a number it might cause issues.
And yes, the bold indicates more than one gem at that value and may indicate the upper or lower limit of value. -Moderator Caraamon Makdasi(talk) 03:23, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
