As I am sure you've noticed, I have been awol. This is for a couple of reasons like changing computers (so I dont know what pages I had in line to check etc now), but the main reason now is that I am busy looking after my new daughter. I will try and catch up, but it will vary day to day how much time I get on the computer, let alone the wiki. I can try and sort out some of my notes for you (magicaid) to add to pages, but first I'll need to compile a list of articles I need to tend to (I might just check them all..)

Will try to be more active!

So far approx. 15 new accounts have been made, and I am pretty certain most, if not all, are spam accounts (especially as people rarely join here). I am not going to delete them right now, as I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but if any spam gets put up that's why. Will be keeping a close eye on it

I think it's great how if you search for black magician trilogy, or traitor spy trilogy, or trudi canavan wiki, that this wiki is near the top of the front page in google.

I'm still sad that the number of contributors to this wiki is so small. I think it has never been above 3 active at one time.. I have tried so hard to get it known but it seems it's not something people want to help with..

I try to make everything orderly and clean, I may not be best with the html side of things, but when Weas-El was here he did do a lot of that for me. Now I can work with what he has done to work out myself what I need to edit to get the outcome I want.

Yes, I know it's not the prettiest, flashiest front page, but there is practically nothing I would change about it. Some wiki landing pages are too full of information that it's daunting, and some are confusing. I try to make sure this one is clear, concise, and works well on smaller monitors (especially because I use a netbook and it can irritate me when pages are all off and messed up).

So I think overall, to be on the front page, and high up on the front page is good. I know Trudi approves of me doing the wiki as I told her about it and she signed my copy of TAM with "to my wiki writer". I hope she is pleased with all the work that has been done here, yes it has been 80% my work, but the 30% of it has been from other people. Even a small edit means a hell of a lot to me because I have worked so hard at this wiki, I am glad someone wants to help me.

I do know I have had a few times where I have disappeared and done no editing at all to the wiki, it's lingered still unfinished, but I am back again now. I find I need the breaks when I have a lot of commitments, or my lack of motivation stops me. But each time I come back to the wiki and put tons of work into it, hopefully making up for some of that staleness.

I know there is still a lot of work to be done, articles are still incomplete, some need reviewing to be re-edited, and some need creating. But it is slowly coming together. I guess knowing that I have nearly single-handedly created this whole wiki and it is still running now helps. As I have never given up on it when everybody disappeared.

But then since I have come back from my longest break, I have had the help of two people (plus a mysterious editor who hasn't made an account) which I am very thankful for.

So here's to getting high on google ranking, and to getting more articles finished ready for 2014 when Trudi's next trilogy begins...

Ok, I am writing a list of articles which need to come off the incomplete list asap really.

I'll name the top 5, and then once they are sorted I'll name another 5.

1. Sonea (TST info needed) 2. Rothen (TST info needed) 3. Dannyl (TST info needed) 4. Savara (A bit more needed from TST and then it will be complete) 5. Cery (TST info needed)

I'd rather the people get priority right now

I have some time to write in the wiki, is anybody else around here lately?

At last I got my Hardback copy of TTQ, I am sooooo happy :D

Now that you will be reading the Mad Apprentice Novella, you can update your user page that says you haven't read it yet. :) Also I don't know what could we put but in order to make people notice that the wiki is active, we should update more often the contents in the main page, specially those about the wiki news or something like that. The last update was done in february, thats a lot of time since now. I dont really know what could w put there, but I will be thinking it tonight.

See you tomorrow and put your feedback about the Novella.

Last night I left a message in Trudi's blog telling her the problem of availabilty of books in my country and asking her about a possible tour to Peru, I also thanked her for her great books... I also left the wiki's link there

And SHE ANSWERED ME!

She told me she had no tours to South America programmed yet. I am so so so HAPPYYYYYYY

After some time in which school has been busying me, I have some time to dedicate to the wiki. (Thanks Holy Week) I have created the Table article and I wanted you to check it, as I felt it strange while I read it.

Changing subjects, I will soon finish The Rogue, and as always, I am eager to start reading The Traitor Queen. The only problems are that I feel really sorry because there are no more books about kyralia yet. Also my copy of The Traitor Queen will be taking time to get into my hands :( The book was being shipped into my home directly from Australia, but the shipping company lost my book an will be giving me my money back. I will have to wait 3-4 weeks more for it to arrive.

The next articles I will be creating and completing will be those about Zarala, Riaya, the rest of the speakers and the rest of stuff about the traitor society.

(which by the way sounds good as a new category "Traitor Society". It may be Traitor business too., that could include all the information about the traitors, such as Guild Business or Magic business.) Tell me if I can create that.

Tell me any mistakes I made, as always.

Thanks for all (and for reading this long forum message)

Magicaid (or you can call me Gonzalo)

Hello.

Last week I began adding pictures to this wiki, maps of Dekkar, Mur and Toren. Today I saw that Sheepy-Pie added a map of Ithania on the pages of each country and deleted my maps. I would like to know why.

Please answer soon, so that I know if I should continue editing maps for this wiki or not.

At last I got my hard cover edition of The Rogue. I will start it tomorrow!!! :)

I wanted to know if you knew something about the problem wikia had this weekend. I don't know if you have tried to make edits or adding articles this weekend, if yes you might probably know what I am talking about. If you havent, well I don't know for sure what happened.

Also as there has been this problem the weekly target has been postponed to this thursday.

See you, and thanks for all;

Magicaid

I am really eager, waiting for The Rogue and The Traitor Queen, to get on my hands. They are not sold in my country. :( I have waited like a month for them to come from USA to Peru. Anyway there is still a week between those book and me. I am sorry they didn't get before school starts though.

Tomorrow, I am going back to school, and as we all have different time zones. We will not coincide to much in what time refers, maybe on weekends we may coincide.

Anyway I will continue writing on this wiki.

Bye

Probably I wont be able to contribute this weekend, so bye, and have a nice weekend.

Thanks,

Magicaid

Just to let everybody know, we are nearly achieving the weekly target on creating articles 7 out of 9.

Also we have completed the target on pictures as we have 5 out of three new pictures, or arrangements.

In overlooking articles we are on 1 out of 3. Today I have done one, if you did one too please tell me to update the data on weekly target.

In completing incomplete articles we are 2 out of 9.

We are

We are on the middle of the work for the week and we are only thursday.

I bet we can finish the work.

Please after reading this answer it in order to know you have read it.

Thanks for reading

Magicaid

Hello. I have seen you have created 4 articles, with that we have reached 5 out of 9 created  articles. That is great. There is one only problem: Your new articles are becoming Incomplete Articles, the problem is that as we create more "incomplete" articles we are filling up of more of them. I understand you have lots of other stuff to do, but please try to complete your newest articles. I would do that but I can only do it to Vora's article. (I havent read AoF trylogy, nor the Rogue or Traitor Queen yet)

Hey check this video out, it is great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay_RGhc_pzg&sns=tw

Bye,

Magicaid

Apart from the other idea, I wanted to know if I should create (because I think it is somewhat easy for me to do that), under the spoilers signs, the summary of each of the books, chapter by chapter. I would do BMT, TMA and TAM because I havent read the others yet. If you tell me I can do this I will start tomorrow with TMG.

I would like two opinions anyway.

If there is something I can do to get more contributors I will try to do it.

Thanks

Magicaid
