LPI - Player Faction?

According to the list Igiss linked, the LPI is not a Faction, but a group. I've moved them to Player Groups not long before you added them back into Player Factions. I think we should await Igiss' comment before adding any others.

Please note that I did not move them back again. We should remember to do in case Igiss decides that way.

I've changed my mind and removed the LPI from the factions page, because the BPA was added, too. I want to prevent the page from growing without official backing. If I left all additions, removing them later would be very harder than removing them right now.

LPI-Firstname.Lastname is an official faction. This one goes in Factions.

[LPI]-Firstname.Lastname[i] is not. This one goes in Groups.

Again, according to the thread linked, there is no such thing as an official LPI faction.

And I wouldn't list independents in groups/factions, because they are independent, and probably not organized in any form.

I direct your attention to Caylith's post (a yes), Hoodlum's post (a yes), BULLDOGNK's post (a yes), Quintinius~Verginix's post (a yes), and Fellow Hoodlum's last post:

"I think we are happy with this effort Ladies and Gents. Please take it to the next level.

Hoodlum"

Del sums it up properly: "Well done LPI, we is official! Huzzah. Well done Chief."

LPI is an official faction. We have three admin yes's, and a moderator yes. The others just didn't post.

I'll direct Igiss here so he can clear this up. Currently, it's still his guideline (only that one thread counts) against postings all around the forums. What I definately don't want is having to search in 10 different threads just to find out wether someone is official or not.

Please let's refrain from adding factions without his answer, that would likely result in making the Player Factions page protected, even if that may take away chances to improve it.

Add LPI to official factions.

Igiss 14:27, 16 May 2008 (GMT)

I'll get right to it. Thanks for the help :)

Ships pages

I think you're one of the most active users here, maybe you can invest a bit of time in the ships pages?

There are numerous pages that don't contain enough information, in my eyes. Examples would be all capital ships (Liberty Gunboat, Liberty Cruiser, Argus - Independent Miners Guild Battlecruiser, Independent Mining Guild Gunboat and Rogue Gunboat) as well as other ships.

An example how I'd like to see them expanded would be Defender.

Additionally, the pages about fighters should be checked for correctness. I'm not sure wether the Defender really has a Class 4 turret.

If I had the chance, I'd do it myself, but unluckily, while I can work on the Wiki much, I don't have access to Freelancer during that time. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Check the Lib GB page now, I worked on it.

Boss 15:09, 16 May 2008 (GMT)

Looks very nice, the only think I would change is to list forward-firing turrets and non-forward-firing turrets individually.

Nodwick 17:52, 16 May 2008 (GMT)

There, done.

Boss 18:54, 16 May 2008 (GMT)

That's even more helpful than what I suggested. Very nice :)

Nodwick, I'll be able to be a bit more active in Wiki editing once finals are over, just wanted to give you a heads-up.
