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 comma's or periods because in many countries in europe they use commas to indicate decimal places instead of periods, which creates problems when corresponding with them. I hadn't even noticed I was doing something differently and I can use commas from now on.

: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

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

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)
