This is (minorly) formatted verbatim copy/paste job from Mike McArtor's notes on Shelyn from the messageboards. Not only does it need a once over for formatting continuity with other deity articles, but we need to put sources wherever any of this information can be verified within canon and delete any casual phrasing that makes the article seem more conversational than academic. -- Yoda8myhead 01:32, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Updated biography for canonical information, wasn't sure if Mike McArtor's article should be removed completely, marked as non-canonical or left as-is.Crimsonknight 01:17, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
It's a good question. At the time Mike wrote his long messageboard post about Shelyn, he was still an editor at Paizo, so whatever he wrote most likely came from whatever internal reference material they have on the world. He also claimed to have been the one to come up with her in the first place, so he might be the one SKR or anyone else goes to for questions regarding her story. That said, the material he posted isn't technically canon, so its presence here is debatable. I think that we should cross-check it for major discrepancies with canon and if it looks like there's quite a bit of it, remove content from the page attributed to his post. If not, leave it up until it becomes a problem. I'd rather have a larger page than a stub, in any case, though we do need to keep in mind the reputation of the site first and foremost. -- Yoda8myhead 03:34, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
I agree, if it is against published canon, take it out, but if it meshes seamlessly with published things and we can credit it, than for all intensive purposes it's pre-published cannon, direct from an editor, while this could be changed later, it is treated as cannon by the community at large Cpt kirstov 01:47, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
