Featured Article possible errant "more" link.
Edit
So today I check in and I have a message thanking me for a small spelling error I fixed on the "Sea Folk" page.
When I go back to main page and see the featured article is on Lan Mandragoran. When I click the link for "more" it wants to take me to the Sea Folk page.
I've signed out and checked - same.
Signed back in - same.
Is this a coincidence, something going on with my machine, or actually an errant link.
(and of course did I send this to the right person and use the correct method)
Thanks.

Brandon Sanderson Blog Posts

Crossposting to all the listed admins.
I'm Brandon Sanderson's assistant. There's a problem with having Brandon's blog posts on your wiki. http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Brandon_Sanderson_Blog_entries
All your content is labeled as being licensed under CC-BY-SA, but Brandon's blog posts must be copyright Dragonsteel Entertainment, LLC. Under ideal circumstances we don't have a problem with you mirroring certain posts on your wiki, but they must not be relicensed. Because if they are licensed CC-BY-SA, people can make a printed book of Brandon's blog posts and sell it on Barnes & Noble: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-wheel-of-time-brandon-sanderson-blog-entries-source-wikia/1035865816?ean=9781234699406
That is just not cool. The people making that book think it is legal because they got the text from your website, which says CC-BY-SA.
Please do something about this. We will contact Barnes & Noble separately, but the license needs to be cleared up on your site. If wikia terms don't allow material to be posted without being CC-BY-SA, please just link straight to Brandon's blog posts instead of mirroring.
I'm sorry that unscrupulous content scrapers made this necessary.
You can contact me on Twitter if you want to talk about anything.
Thanks,
