I was looking around for Forgotten Realms information earlier and on Wikipedia, I stumbled onto an FR-Wiki. Unfortuneatly its still growing and gettings its articles created, so I decided I'd post about it incase anyone here *cough cough*420*cough cough* has some hidden stronghold of information on parts of Faerun within them and maybe some spare time would be interested in helping them fill in gaps.

*clicky for FR-wiki*

don't forget to note references unless your like me and suck at figuring out who the hell to put down in something like the monster manual!

If it's from the 1st edition Monster Manuals then it would be Gary Gygax, creater of D&D  (Mordenkainen is his RPG character).

For any 3E or 3.5E material, it's all WotC, since they own any intellectual property that their writers create.

Oh, and thanks for the link!

Lored of Madness: The Book of Aberrations
2005 Wizards of the Coast

Sounds like the site could use an "Official Sources" page that lists all the official TSR and WotC D&D related material with all that info so people can just link to it instead of having to write it out for each article.
