I don't understand what's wrong if the article is in-universe. those who will look for Faerun in internet will probably interested in in-universe information. of course, I agree that providing non-fictional material will be very useful and appropriate for an encyclopedia, but I don't think it's very necessary to raise all this fuss 'to delete or not delete'. 81.214.36.116 (talk) 15:18, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I edited the article to include more about players (real people) using Faerûn as a campaign setting. Are the edits enough to delete the in-universe banner? Rhinoptera17 (talk) 15:18, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Evermeet farther?

How are you coming to the conclusion that the 3e map shows Evermeet as closer than the 2e map when Evermeet isn't even on the map? Rogue 9 09:14, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm new to this discussion, but Evermeet had beend removed from the map for a very pragmatic reason: to much ocean in the map. This is stated somewhere at wizards.com

[edit] Why deleting the maps?

Why had the maps been deleted? Aren't they fair use?
David Latapie (✒ | @) 12:22, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Same question, seriouslly, bring it back(there's at least 100 sites with that map on them so it should be fair use, if not, someone should contact wizards of the coast or whoever, and get permission). I've never seen an artical talk about the geography of a place and not have a reference map. --Wilson 17:21, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

That's because you can't copyright real geography. Fictional geography, on the other hand, you can. --Agamemnon2 22:05, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Very true, the last part was to state how a map is needed for this artical. Seeing as it is copy righted, I will try to get permission for it's inclusion from the developer, but if all else fails we should at least have a link to a site that has the map.--Wilson 15:18, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

It's not about the law at all, actually, it's just about Wikipedia's intent to have all free content. Even though fair use articles are perfectly legal, they aren't free, so that's why they are discouraged on Wikipedia for altruistic reasons.--Neverpitch 03:42, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
