I believe LOAF has told him so you should be good to go soon. --[[User:Dundradal|Dundradal]] 22:48, 23 August 2010 (CDT)

Ok, I feel the sudden urge to say this:  while I think creating pages for out-universe is good, let's remember it's an encyclopedia we're making.  An encyclopedia contains hard data about things, measurable and empiric informations...  not opinions and conjuncture.  I believe those interviews shouldn't be included in the WCPedia.  Instead, why not make pages on the basic out-universe information someone will obviously try to search for, like pages on the game themselves (searching for "Academy" ?  First result should be "Wing Commander Academy", a comic show featuring young Blair).  There should be a page for the core poeple involved in creating Wing Commander too, like a page on Chris Roberts, a page on Anthony Sommers, etc.  But again, these pages would include informations about them and their role in creating Wing Commander.

Hey bob - hold off on adding * to infoboxes. It makes them look all screwy when you add them in. I was removing them yesterday but noticed you are putting them in others today. So please undo those when you can. Thanks. --[[User:Dundradal|Dundradal]] 13:32, 19 April 2011 (CDT)
Hey bob - saw this http://www.wcnews.com/wcpedia/Escape_Pod was a floater. Figured I'd remind you to add the VDU (or however you'd like to mention it) on the P2 landing page ships section. --[[User:Dundradal|Dundradal]] 20:55, 5 July 2011 (CDT)

Hey Bob,
I just saw your SO Episodes and I wanted to note that there is an Episode 1 exe as well which resets SO to the beginning, clearing out Epidoses 2-7 to play again fresh.
Also can you get LOAF to post the German Episodes so that you can link to them as well?
Keep up the good work.

Hey bob - nice work uploading stuff but be careful when organizing stuff. The way wiki displays things can make pages look confusing (especially if there are a lot of pages and categories). I moved the BWC around to try and keep with the standard we've got so far. I understand how you were organizing them, but like I said it creates funky looking pages. I definitely want to do stuff like that eventually, we just need to figure out more advanced coding I think to do it. We are still riding around here with training wheels for the most part...well at least I am. haha. --Dundradal 11:44, 14 August 2010 (CDT)
