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 - 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)

Awesome summary of Action Stations, I presume.

Just so you know, 'withdrawal' is spelt with two As. ;) - Wedge

Thanks―it was hectic work, but I wanted it done by Confederation Day today.
Also, to Kris, if he hasn't gotten the message yet―could you please un-ban my home IP address? I seem to have tripped the server-defense-killbots when trying to upload something to the FTP for Dund, and I've been locked out of everything for two days now. - Bob 21:51, 23 August 2010 (CDT)
