I've decided to undertake a major effort to improve the WoT wiki. I'm not a very literary writer, since I tend towards concise and factual statements from my career in business. But I am much better at picking out the names and otehr references from the books. A superior aid I have for this effort is full text of the books (at least through book 11 right now) that I scanned in, fixed up and divided up by chapter. That will allow me to carefully read the text, and highlight terms that should go into the wiki.

I'll also try some other things now and then, but I'm not very well versed in some update processes, especially footnotes. If I really feel the need I'll dig into this some more.

Hopefully, if I can keep up with a couple of chapters a da…

I have made several entries to existing articles in the last two weeks that indicate that I have searched the series for a particular word or phrase and have not been able to find that word or phrase in any of the 14 books, and so have placed a tag in the article in question (see Amira Moselle as an example). What have I been doing to conduct this search? I have been using my laptop, the Kindle e-reader program, and e-reader copies of all fourteen books published so far in the series (including New Spring). The Kindle e-reader has a search capability that lists all occurrances of a word, partial word, or phrase, if so requested. Each book, however, has to be called up in turn to be searched (i.e. there is no batch-search capability), a…

Isn't it amazing the stuff we put on wikia? Seriously; spend a ton of time tracking down some stupid little detail of something, then discover an entire wikia dedicated to it!

WoT... Yeah, I can do this.

I know that when writing an article about one person, event or location, it is necessary to include a small amount of information about other persons, events or locations to highlight the significance of the individual/event/location and their interaction with the main subject, but the extra info pertaining to other than the main subject should be kept to a minimum, and such other information as may be worthy of capturing in this wiki should be put in the primary article of that other subject.

This topic arose as I edited the Logain Ablar page of this Wiki. Though the article was about Logain, it included a large amount of info about Mezar Kurin, a former close supporter, how he was turned, and included info about how the "13X13 trick" mi…

Note that this is only my personal guess of what will happen in A Memory of Light. Nothing here should be taken as a fact or solid information of what actually will happen. This won't fulfill all of the prophesies or expectations of the book. However, this will fulfill many of the large unknown prophesies, such as "He shall hold a blade of light in his hands, and the three shall be one."

First, Rand will discuss his plans with Egwene and the rest of the armies engulfing the Field of Merrilor, and eventually convinces them all that it is necessary to break the seals. Next, Moiraine will Travel to the Field of Merrilor. She will meet with Rand, talk for a short time, then Rand will choose her for the second person to be linked with him in the …

just created my first new article, the Supreme Council. saw a red (non-existent) link while reading the Black Ajah page and figured what the hell, why not? nothing fancy, but it beats an empty page.

Hello all! I'd like to inform everyone of two new features Wikia is releasing. A replacement for user talk pages and an update to the top bar navigation. Please post any comments, suggestions, and feedback on the respective blogs. Thanks! ---- 07:48, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

I'm trying to earn the "Two Weeks on the Wiki" badge, and I live in US Central Time. Sometimes, it accepts my edits and adds a day to the counter when I've spent more than 24 hours between edits, and sometimes when I've spent less, it resets. Does anyone know what time the wiki uses (in terms of UTC/Greenwich Mean Time would be helpful, as I have that clock on my computer)?

Hello all! You may have noticed that the main page has been updated. If there are any suggestions or comments, please let me know here. ---- Willie - HtS 01:54, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

Anyone (on this site) ever thought of Demandred being Jarid Sarand? This idea was posted at Theoryland.com, but so short ago there weren't any review's when I saw it. He fits perfectly in what RJ (or maybe BS) said about he was mentioned, but did not appear already. BTW, on Theoryland most people think Demandred has done more than getting one army behind him, and I think that's good possible. Asha'man Leyrann Gaidin 17:55, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, does someone know why Silviana Brehon doesn't like Gawyn?

On the talkpage of Aviendha, I've written some reasons why it is almost impossible the things she saw in Rhuidean are true. I'd like to know what other people think about it. Asha'man Leyrann Gaidin 13:29, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

I GOT INTO RESIDENTIAL MATH CAMP 8D

...and there are 14 days of school left. YAY.

...I am done writing. I just wanted the badge. XD Nothing more to say.

Hi out there. This is my very first ever blog and I'm writing this to invite all you Wheel Of Time fans to join in my community Forum and our brand new Role Play. We have one going now which is strange as it may seem a Stargate RPG with a WOT twist, But we are also going to start a brand new WOT stand alone RP and I'd love to hear from you all.

we can be found here.

Reading this series is such a great experience. I started over a week ago and currently reading A Crown of Swords. This wikia has really helped me out lots of times wen i cant seem to find head or tail of wat im reading. even though i try to read as little as possible coz of d spoilers but its just too good to stop.

Love the work that has been done here with all d articles. Hope i will be able to contribute something. :) Anya07 16:04, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

I know that this wiki is pretty lax with documentation, but I believe that it is essential if we would like to have accurate, comprehensive articles. Properly documenting articles takes time, but it helps with issues that may be confusing or in dispute. Documenting your articles also helps provide a starting point for another user who wishes to add to the article or create an article for a related topic or a "wanted page.Joedmd 16:57, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

I have completed an up-to-date list of all known Songs and books in the WoT. Everyone is welcome to review both lists and see if anything is missing or if any of the new pages can be fleshed out.Joedmd 00:22, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

As I'm sure everyone knows, Universal bought the rights to the Wheel of Time: the Eye of the World. Beyond this I do not know much more. I saw on IMDB that they said something about a 2011 release date, but for a movie of this size, i find it unlikely that we wouldn't have heard much more about it.

My main problem is that Hollywood tends to warp the book-to-film genre a great deal in order to make it fit the time restraints (HP series, LotR, take your pick) and with books that are so in depth and long running it looks like its going to be a feat. There is also the issue with all the nudity that is involved in this series which they would most likely edit out so the under age kids could watch as well. For key scenes such as Egwene being rais…

If its not possible, how does the leash that is used to control moghedien work in the real world? I'm sure I must have missed the explanation, but an answer would make things much clearer.

I was thinking about 'porting' the concordance over here somehow...

So, after seeing User:Mariecurie7's work on mirror/archiving the blog posts (which is great work btw), I thought hmmm, surely this shouldnt be 'polluting' the main namespace, since its not 'in-universe'. So I was thinking they should be moved to a different namespace (a word before a `:` in a page title), and maybe gain a better naming scheme. After checking the Blog: namespace, and finding it particularly useless for such a task, I converged on the thought that RJ: would work best (though other suggestions are welcome), and that the name of each page in this 'namespace' (which isnt technically a namespace, unless the admins can add custom ones?) would be EITHER (as in TBD) the full title, or the publication date.

And on the same vein, the Questi…

I recently just re read the Eye of the World and i noticed something odd. I didn't notice it the first time i read it because i didn't know who jain was. But Ba'alzamon who in one of the last chapters says "whom i painted like a fool and sent to the ogier thinking he was rid of me." This raises the question in my mind whether Jain is a darkfriend or not?

If Jain is a darkfriend, or an "ex-darkfriend" we must consider the possibility that Noal his cousin is one as well. Not because being a darkfriend is a hereditory trait, merely because it may well be jain himself.

Just wanted to throw this out there.

Some suggestions for new templates, I've got them all but

Newbie here please no spoilers, I'm not interested in any plot info. I recently started this series, I began in New Spring and am in The great hunt now. My goal is to be cuaght up before the 13th book comes out and I was wondering (as one who LOVES to read a good book series) if there are going to be any midnight book releases at book stores here in the US. It seems appropriate given both that it's one of the last in a series and of course given the name lol.

What is this?

Machin Shin is the entity that roams the ways, corrupting all those that it comes into contact with and ultimately driving those people insane.  I've read the theories about how Machin Shin was created yet there remains one theory that nobody has seem to mention.  Aridhol.  Aridhol had a waygate and when Aridhol became corrupted and fell another entity was created.  Mashadar.  Now during the trolloc wars the ways became corrupted with the entity known as Machin Shin but it was never explained if that perhaps a part of Mashadar had seeped into the ways through the waygate in Aridhol.  It could have been possible that trollocs or an army of the darkone were seeking refuge of the ways from Mashadar and in the process a part of Mashadar was tr…

I've done a little bit of editing for content. I see a lot of people getting sloppy with their submittions. Please remember to look for double words or bad grammar!

Also when using quotation marks, shouldn't we put grammar marks INSIDE the quotations? I've seen periods and commas on the outside of quotation. No es bueno!

Welcome to any new comers and here's to looking forward to the next book! The Gathering Storm was a great read.

I'll link to it here so people can find it more easily:

New Named Characters in TGS

Should be of use to all to all of us and make updating a little easier.

I am a little uncertain as to what the spoiler policy is. Are we having a disclaimer on the front page as well as drop down hidden spoilers?

For now I am just adding to random articles. I also have a (mostly complete) list of new characters from TGS. Would it be worthwhile making a new page just for them as a kind o checklist? I think things will become clearer when the dust settles a bit on TGS.

Later!

I've been adding some info to the Moiraine article today, mainly restructuring it to that the fits the style guide for character articles a bit more and making the information more ordered. There was also a bit of overlap in places. Also added a physical description of Moiraine.

..since I last made an edit. Many thanks to Optimous for the truly excellent work on the homepage and various categorisation pages. Honestly, i can't thank you enough. :)

I'll report my main activities on this blog for future reference. So far today, I've reorganised the Main Series category page by the order the books come in the series, as opposed to alphabetically. The two divisions of the rereleases of tEotW and TGH are included categorised under *.

Wow.

I just stumbled across this site.  I am really impressed and excited at what I've read thus far.  I started reading "The Wheel of Time" eight or nine years ago in middle school.  I loved it and still read through the series from time to time.  So many questions I had, I just found answers/insight to within 5 minutes (i.e.- Who killed Asmodean?).  Very helpful and truly fascinating-- I love the bits about who characters where possibly modeled after, where their names may come from, etc.  I'm a sucker for intense characterization, and actually found this site while looking for info on the upcoming movie.  I'm a little afraid af how our beloved characters might end up on screen...

I am an aspiring actress, so maybe if I work hard I'll be t…
