 ==How does the club view the DLG?==
 The DLG - formally known as The Dragonlover's Guide to Pern - was last published in 1989. It is well known for its errata (Sariel's site[http://pern.srellim.org/dlg_errata.htm] has a section devoted to it) that contradict the books, especially those written later than it. Information from it is used only when the books provide no other indication of a subject, and book canon _always_ overrides DLG errata. Its main use is for those crafts that never get a lot of mention in the books, as well as the nitpicky details that don't make it into the books about daily life on Pern. Additionally, the section written by Todd McCaffrey (Chapter VI) on dragonrider training is considered canon and is the basis for how our Weyrleaders operate in the club.

 The books start their timeline from the date colonists landed on Pern. Then they count the Turns based on the Pass or Interval. Triad had a large gap of over 1200 turns between the last pass and the current one. Therefore we thought we'd help you figure out your dates by providing the following data.
-* Click Here for [[Pern Timeline]]
+* Click Here for '''[[Pern Timeline]]'''
 * The notation of (Current Pass +8) means to take the current Turn number and add 8 turns to know how far in the past from the current turn this event occurred. This is particularly important for knowing how long ago your dragonrider could have Impressed at this location.

 Giving Pern approx. 56.81 miles per degree of latitude & 56.90 miles per degree of longitude at the equator.
-The only argument with this fact from the books is the Atlas, which has mileage scales on its maps that translate to approx. 8 miles per degree. Personally, I think that is absurd since that scale would give Pern a circumference of only 2,880 miles (meaning the trip from New York to Los Angeles would be greater than a round-trip of Pern). So I based my numbers off the DLG - the best source I've found for such numbers. My Earth numbers came from various sources, one being an online textbook.
