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)

I believe LOAF has told him so you should be good to go soon. --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. --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. --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. Shades 2011 Aug 1
