Just wanted to double check that you got my question on the thread you started over on my page. --TEVESHSZAT (talk) 00:14, 18 June 2014 (CDT)

Looks like you're busy updating pages right now, so let me know when you'd like to discuss the bin and crate pages! --TEVESHSZAT (talk) 01:01, 18 June 2014 (CDT)

Sorry, I have only used talk like 4 times with Caraamon. I got distracted with trying to figure some item out. I will be around today, if you don't remember my IM it is linett silvrtree - thanks!!!

pickable flowers

heya! I noticed you made individual pages for the 3 roses from Raven's Court. Is that something we want to do with all the flowers, fruits, etc. you can pick around the realms? I've been keeping track of them as I explore (http://www.kythsjournal.com/flowers.htm), and can start making pages for them as I run across them again. I might go ahead and move that list over here to epedia soonish too, regardless of if we want all the flowers to have pages or not. --Kythryn 00:42, 30 October 2014 (CDT)

Hi hi my favorite Kythryn! I plan on making a page for all free food and all pickable flowers with locations at some point, but didn't want to just steal all your info and I wasn't sure how to do it yet. I made those just because they were on the raven's page that I was working on. I cannot think it is BAD to document individual flowers, because then you can capture the smell which is mostly individual to the flower and if it is worn or not. So.. I am going to say yes! Let us document them ALL! :) IM me sometime, we can hash out a way for the huge arse list of all flowers to be. Linett silvrtree is my im !! Linett 01:47, 30 October 2014 EST

I'll dust off my AIM name and get in touch with you soonish...prob. after I've shaken off the first days of HE frenzy...hehe. Maybe once we figure out the best way to present the list, we can recruit Absolon to help code us up a template for adding things. He made up a new template recently for the healing herbs that maybe we can use as a base for a "pickables" template. After mulling it over a bit, I suspect the biggest challenge will be how to organize the "landing page" for them; there are 100's of items on the list and we'll need to figure out how to organize it down into manageable tables or searches. For example, by province then city works good for folks exploring, but it doesn't help someone looking for a daisy or cloudberries. Obviously, the wiki-search will make some of that easier. But I think it would still be nice to have a single page to start off from too. --Kythryn 14:43, 30 October 2014 (CDT)

Yeppers! Plus the finding a cloudberry issue will be solved if we then actually make the flowers too. Okay great, looking forward to working on it with you! Linett 18:33, 30 October 2014

Heya! So I started some ground work on the pickable flower project. A couple things for you to look over help with some feedback.

Picked Flora is a new page for getting us organized. Right now, it's just got some basic information with each sub-section, and then I did compile a list of a good portion of the known flowers we can pick. There are notes on there when I thought maybe we should combine them with another similar flower type. Let me know if you think we should keep each kind separate or combine things.

Started work on organizing the individual pages with the Rose page. A number of those searches were already on the page when I started updating. I'm not tied to keeping the "color" and some of the others on there. But, I don't think it hurts anything either.

I'll try and nudge you on AIM after a couple days if you miss this note too...:) Thanks! --Kythryn 08:07, 22 November 2014 (CST)

picked food

So I noted you made a change on the House of the Gilded Longleaf (location) page that removed the "shop" information from a couple of picked fruits. Is that how you want ALL the picked fruits handled? I had been giving the sloot to picked flowers, but doing the whole shop thing with the picked foods since sometimes the food has a longer or different name on the tree/ground/whatever (see the "seasonal gardens" for a good example of that) than it does in your hand. Also, it's food, and the shop-type set up is how Caraamon had indicated I should set up other "free food" items, so I figured since this was food too...

Anyhow, I'll watch for your reply. --Kythryn 22:13, 15 March 2015 (CDT)

Hi hi! Sorry was having a long nap to try and slay this cold that won't go away. Well I thought since they weren't really ON a surface, like a table or whatever, and they were picked, like the flowers already in that room, it made sense for them to just look the same as flowers. Anything on a surface, table, etc, where you can look on XX and see the bounty of food/drink, totally set up like a shop. But if it is picked just like a flower, it made sense to list it like a flower.

The garden thing, I almost changed all that to just the name, not the whole long xx picked from the garden, but since they are all |named=right it seemed fine, even if long. Only because typically on a shop surface for food/drink (but really more so any item) you never list the a/an/some part. So seeing it just made me wanna edit it right away :)

I guess what I would say is, this is really all your baby. SO ... I would just prefer it is all one way kind of from the start. So, my logic was if picked, it made sense to list it like the "picked" flowers. If you like it the other way, just let me know and I will patrol it that way. Plus, even though it would mean changing stuff you already did, you can also decide to just do everything like a shop surface, flowers and food (pickable and otherwise) if you thought you liked that better? I discussed with Caraamon, and stylistically it is all the same difference to him.

I was curious why you aren't listing the scent of a flower before it is preserved and then if it loses it once preserved or changes, since nearly every flower does one or the other. I can't think of any flowers I did as an example except maybe the boneflower from Naohii's boneyard.
