I am pretty sure the Season trope was introduced in the 2nd edition supplement, Covenants. I'll just go ahead and put that on the page.
The argument against using Seasons would be a great addition to that page! Generally I recommend putting such discussion under an "opinion & commentary" heading. My thinking is newbies should have an easy time telling canon apart from fan opinion. Both are valuable and both certainly belong on Project: Redcap!
I continue to be excited about 30 Pages in November campaign and the contributions from the community! Members have embraced the competition and there's representation from the Berk List and the forum. Momentum is continuing to build and early indications show that Team Berkeley does have a lead. Even though the Berkeley List is in its Winter phase, the Magi are still active in the laboratory that is Project: Redcap. But the forum isn't far behind.
Perhaps it's appropriate that today (6 November 2016) I'm announcing the Order of Hermes page for 30 Pages for November:
For an important page there's very little content. All of the sections could use your contributions. Take a look at these sections and contribute a few minutes to make them better:
EDIT: Seasons are not mentioned in the main rulebook until ArM3. In my copy the table of contents is incorrect but the Four Seasons are described on pages 112-113, 118-135.
I just verified that the Season metaphor is on pages 7-12 in Covenants
I added a placeholder Opinion and Commentary section on the page.
Andrew, do logged in users need to tell you when we add to a page? Or are you taking upon yourself the tremendous burden of watching all 30 pages for changes?
You can simply let us know you represent Team Forum by announcing on this forum thread, or Team "Berzerklist" by replying to the current discussion Berkeley ML thread entitled "New head Redcap and 30 pages for November." That way we're able to count team affiliation. If you register with an account on Project: Redcap then we're able to easily see your contributions in the Wiki logs and tally the updates. Anonymous updates can be made, but it's difficult for us to determine who made the update and which team should receive the credit.
Hi Walter, thanks.
I've already registered an account on Redcap, username Chr.Andersen.
I consider myself om Team Forum. I subscribe to the Berklist digest , I think I started late 90s with primarily lurking and occasionally posting and had a long break from it.
But my activities are on the Forum. I'll be glad to lend a hand on the Redcap pages.
The competition is heating up! As a natural progression from yesterday's page (The Order of Hermes), the Project: Redcap page for today (7 November 2016) is the Houses of Hermes page:
Each of the House subsections under The Twelve Houses could use more description and explanation. Let's not forget about The Thirteenth House section too.
The References section would also benefit from updates with any links to products or other materials that provide details on the Houses.
The enthusiasm for the 30 Pages for November campaign is demonstrated by updates that the Ars Magica community is making to the site. These community contributions are truly the heart of Project: Redcap.
The Project: Redcap page for today (November 8, 2016) is the Medieval History page:
This is a new page and I've created a couple placeholder sections for content to be added:
Introduction and Disclaimer
Overview of Medieval History
Related Links
References
Feel free to add additional sections or subsections and update them. Being new this page is ready for a team to stake their claim as the first make edits. Who will it be, Team Berk or Team Forum?
Thanks again for all of your updates and remember that you can update any pages previously announced in the 30 Pages for November campaign.
This existing page goes hand-in-glove with yesterday’s page (Medieval History). I’ve added a Useful Resources section and updated it with a few books and RPGs. However, the other sections could use your updates.
Playing in Mythic Europe
Historical Accuracy
The Order of Hermes
Realms of Power
Related Links
Useful Resources
Note: You’re not limited to updating the page announced for the day. The full list of pages that have been announced so far are listed on the 30 pages for November page:
Project: Redcap is the Ars Magica community's gift to itself. It's a beneficial resource whose value increases in proportion to the amount of content it contains -- content that is created by you, the dedicated ArM community. Therefore, it makes sense that the Project: Redcap page for today (November 10, 2016) is The Gift page:
This page could use more content. It currently contains two main sections after the introduction.
Social Effects
What Causes The Gift
What would you like to say about The Gift?

After yesterday's announced page (The Gift) it makes sense to segue to The Realms of Power: Magic page, the Project: Redcap page for today (November 11, 2016):
I have finally got round to creating an account for Project Redcap. It's good to see some love going into the big pages. Also, now I get the ego trip of having the first review of RoP:Magic on there. Take that literary critics of the world!
Thank you, darkling. We're running a friendly competition and I'll count your updates for Team Forum. Information about the competition can be found in the Scoreboard section of this page:

It's the 15th of November and we're at the halfway point in the 30 pages for November campaign. Let's dive deeper into The Realms of Power on a Dantesque journey to The Realms of Power: The Infernal:
The page has stubs for chapter headings but lots of missing content. Let's fill in the missing content for the chapters. Here are a couple questions to consider:
What would you say about using the corruption ability?
What dangers may Magi encounter when dealing with the Infernal realm, the Devil, demons, the Maleficia?
