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).
It's the current ships database. Not all articles are updated I don't think (some just have the 5 angle shots...which are still things you can move into here...just make sure to follow the organization methodology I used for the other ones).


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!
There's nothing wrong with contributing but I've repeatedly told you to use the forums more (which you do...for about 2 threads...). I tell you that because that's the best resource you have. You've told me you don't own every WC game...so that makes it difficult to have all the information at hand. People on the forums are more than willing to help, you just have to ask them a question.

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

It's the current ships database. Not all articles are updated I don't think (some just have the 5 angle shots...which are still things you can move into here...just make sure to follow the organization methodology I used for the other ones).

There's nothing wrong with contributing but I've repeatedly told you to use the forums more (which you do...for about 2 threads...). I tell you that because that's the best resource you have. You've told me you don't own every WC game...so that makes it difficult to have all the information at hand. People on the forums are more than willing to help, you just have to ask them a question.
