I wanted to post a quick comment to say thanks and make a short reminder to the community. 
 
 
First, thanks to those of you who are adding content to the FFXIclopedia.  This is a community driven project that is free-to-use.  Those of you who have been adding content to the FFXIclopedia are, I hope, enjoying the project and enjoying the community.  The FFXIclopedia requires the active participation of its users in order to grow, stay current, and ultimately survive. 
 
 
Second, a word of warning.  Respect your fellow FFXIclopedia users.  The FFXIclopedia requires continuous additions, subtractions and edits in order to be the most useful to its users.  In order to accomplish this it is important to have as many people as we can working on the FFXIclopedia.  In the past we have lost some valuable users based on disagreements about how things should be added/worded/attributed/etc.  This need not happen.  Remember to respect the other users.  Everyone does this in their spare time for no compensation. 
 
 
Thanks again and long live the FFXIclopedia.  --[[User:Gahoo|Gahoo]]
