I appreciate your continued effort on this project, however, you continue to create some article of questionable caliber. Stop using question marks in place of years that you do not know. If you don't know ASK ON THE FORUMS. I've repeated this countless times to you. Also, you are organizing articles in sometimes an assinining way. We already have too many ship/fighter subcategories and just throwing extra articles into them makes it worse (I'm looking at Capital Ships, Fighters, etc, they serve little purpose).
Hey, I see you've been back at it. Please try not to create stub articles. If you are going to upload new stuff please do a complete article because otherwise I still have a lot of work of going back through your articles and rewriting them. Also, review the other articles I've rewritten to see the style that should be used. You've got some really awkward and clunky wording in some of the articles and I noticed that needs to be corrected. --[[User:Dundradal|Dundradal]] 11:10, 1 January 2011 (CST)


I'd appreciate if when you did create a new article you asked the community to peer review it for mistakes. You have quite a few in the articles you've created and I don't have the time this semester to go through and mark all of them. So again, UTLIZE THE FORUMS!!! There are many old Wingnut vets that are more than willing to answer questions. So don't just guess for articles or put ?????? in fields. ASK!

That link is to the KS manual that has Claw Marks, WC2 manual and Victory Streak within. Please stick to material which you have the sources for. The Blackmane station article looks like you were pulling info from Saga (which is not canon). I deleted the section because it needed to be completely redone. Again, if you have questions ask on the CZ or in #wingnut. I appreciate the help, but as I've said before you should pick an area and then completely develop articles. Jumping from area to area is creating more work in most cases. --[[User:Dundradal|Dundradal]] 13:03, 10 January 2011 (CST)

The purpose was not to discourage you. It was just to tell you to utilize the resources you have (the WC community) when working on the project. I'm by no means telling you that everything you have done sucks, it certainly doesn't. Also, simply taking stuff from the old Encyc isn't always recommended (as I know I've told you before), it also contains errors. Ships 2.0 is a much more reliable source that the CIC has been putting together. I'd certainly utilize it when you can. Don't think of me asking for peer reviews as saying you are doing a bad job, it's just to help in article creation. The more eyes you have on something the more likely you'll catch all the mistakes and have a great final product.


The thing with the question marks is that they are stupid. Why even waste the keystrokes putting them in? If you don't know a year then simply leave it blank. It's not a petty thing, it's a style thing. I know you aren't the only one to do it, but you consistently do it. Just a simple thing to avoid.

No need to be discouraged. Don't take it as personal insults, it's constructive criticism. Also, my notes in article discussion pages are not attacks on you. They are notes to myself and others on what needs to be done/corrected.
I'd actually like to write those articles. We still have some ship entries to add. You should really come by #wingnut more often as LOAF and I are often in there discussing WCPedia stuff. --[[User:Dundradal|Dundradal]] 17:49, 15 January 2011 (CST)


The only thing I can continue to recommend (as I have since day 1) is utilize the forums more. If something is unclear or unknown then ask it's much better than just throwing in question marks waiting for someone else to come in and clean it up.
Stop by whenever. We are both logged into #wingnut when we are home. We are online now. --[[User:Dundradal|Dundradal]] 18:27, 15 January 2011 (CST)


Don't take it personally. It's not.

I just took fresh screen-shots and saved them as lossless PNGs. Were you trying to do the same? I thought they were just copied from the CIC Guides. I finished SM2 (thought I did that previously, but apparently not) and made a start on WC2, but was too tired to get very far. I'm happy to continued with WC2 + SO1/2, to free you up for other tasks - Wedge.

We've been on #wingnut regularly. Just stop by anytime. We've been working on everything layout. The entire project has been split into two parts.
