How to Edit

The Most important Rules

While the nature of writing about fictional works requires a certain amount of flexibility, ad hoc decision making, and some policies may be subject to change, we have two cardinal rules we observe here:

When writing articles about the characters or events of a work, write in past-tense, and in-universe

Stay within the parameters of what Turtledove actually put on the page! No speculating. Fan-fic should be for blogs only!

Follow these, and you should be fine.

Featured article

Atvar commanded the Race's Conquest Fleet in its campaign against Tosev 3. While he was able to oversee the conquest of half the planet, the fact that the native inhabitants were far more technologically advanced upon the Conquest Fleet's arrival than they were when the Race first detected Tosev 3 left half the planet under the control of various not-empires. Thus, Atvar's reputation among his people would be forever tarnished.
