[edit] Removed category

I deleted the Dragonlance category from this entry, as the guidelines suggest not to use both the category and subcategory. -- ReyBrujo 00:12, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Expanding

So what more has to be here to remove the stub from it? Also, what books would be useful in contributing to this article? DoomsDay349 01:57, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I think a map of pre-Cataclysm Ansalon would be useful, in addition a listing of regions for the continent such as Solmania and Ice Wall would flesh this out (lets stay away from specific locations like Clerists High Tower and Palanthus). If we look at an entry like North America and try to stick to the idea of describing its Geography, Historical Geography, and Nations/Territories I think we can flesh this out to be more than a stub.

As far as reference, Atlas of the Dragonlance World by Karen Wynn Fonstad is good reference up until the Chaos wars. Eclecticvox 07:13, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How to Organize

What should and should not be here? For instance, I don't think we should add such things as, for instance, the header Abanasinia with subheaders describing locations, as they would basically be the List of Dragonlance locations. I want to know exactly what info needs to be here. Thanks! DoomsDay349 04:17, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I think an Historical Geography broked down into era's would be a good start including embedded images. Also a Nations/Regions type section (possibly a table or highlighted map area images) talking about various regions such as Solmania, Spine of the World, Blood Sea would work as well. Keeping in mind we don't want to talk specifically of towns and settlements just the regions themselves from a geographical point of view. Eclecticvox 07:16, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] introduction

ok User:Gavin.collins how would you suggest improving the introduction to this article? notability aside as well as the other tags let focus on this to see what you think needs to be done. this article tells exactly what Ansalon is in it introductory sentence. it is a continent on the DragonLance world of Krynn. like Antartica is a continent on the world Earth. i guess all the senteces should be strung together so it would appear as one paragraph and an introductory paragraph? then add more to the article about what Ansalon is without using in-universe descriptions. i am putting this hear in hopes that you will try explaining your tags a bit more rather than blanketing articles with tags, and to participate in the field you wish to do so much work in. thanks for helping this article. shadzar-talk 22:39, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
