| − | Capitalisation. Please undo your change on Manhattan. It's a title, hence it requires all first letters as caps. That is the standard I've used on all the pages I've made.

| − | Edit: Well it supposed to be. I've just found some more that I haven't capsized ^.^ -.-

| − | You mean you "Commodities Sold" instead of "Commodities sold"? I've done it, but it goes against all wikipedia policies of naming I know. :) Meh, maybe things are done differently here. *Continues work*

| − | :No...it's probably just me. I might need to change the way I'm doing things...sigh. I don't know what the wiki conventions are. I do know my english rules for Capitalisation though. (Notice the British spelling as well?)

| − | ===My reply===
| |
| − | :(I'm guessing you are '''n00bl3t''' on the forums? I'm '''Hyung Soong'''. Hi! pleased to meet you. :) )
| |
| − | :Sorry about the "edit wars". I wasn't meaning to piss you off. '''I want to work with you, not against you.''' I'll give you a little spiel on my thoughts and maybe we can come to an agreement or at least an understanding. I feel we (wiki editors as a whole) need to have some guidelines on what to do. That way we won't get little conflicts like this happening. We need to come up with templates and everyone needs to use them, otherwise we get more unnecessary work.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :'''Firstly I want to apologies''' for undoing your link changes. It annoyed me that my hard work on the "Planet Manhattan, New York System, Liberty" and linking and stuff was changed so there was less useful info and links, but '''I should have talked to you about it first.''' I'm sorry about that.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :'''Secondly''' I'll comment on the above - Planet Manhattan - Commodities. I believe it needs all of those links because
| |
| − | :*people who have never played Disco...or even Freelancer... (yes I have met people ingame who play Disco, who have never played Freelancer before) might come here. In fact isn't that why we are doing this? So it's a valuable resource with all the necessary information on the wiki, in one place? Useful for Veterans ''and'' new players?
| |
| − | :*The commodities come from certain places. If I want to find out what other commodities are in New York, I, as a wiki user, don't want to have to go back a few pages, to find the categories to find the other place...etc.. get my drift? Having a central link (which is what the "Planet Manhattan, New York System, Liberty" is all about), makes it easier to navigate. Otherwise we end up with "Deadend" pages.
| |
| − | :*Or if I want to find out general info about New York, or Liberty, that link is right there.
| |
| − | :*I feel it is important to have as much info as possible available on the wiki. Having half info annoys me no end, because then I have to backtrack and try to find the other info. I prefer moving forward and going from links from where I currently am on the wiki.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :'''Thirdly - Wiki Conventions''' - I can't say that I know them, but IMHO a title looks better with the first letter of every noun or pronoun capitalised. For example...
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===New York System===
| |
| − | ===Trade Lane and Jump Gate Parts===
| |
| − | :I like
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===New York system===
| |
| − | ===Trade lane and jump gate parts===
| |
| − | :I don't like
| |
| − | | |
| − | :I'm willing to put in more work so that it's done once, and first letter capitalised, than to continually notice the caps that aren't there. I'm also quite happy to leave it as the second, '''as being consistent is more important.''' Which way are we doing titles? I'm automatically doing the first but can just as easily use the second.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :'''Fourthly - Infocard Data''' - I want a resolution to this one because I notice quite a few people adding their own things. Are we using the info card data as is written or are we modifying the info to better suit English? I am for the first, but can easily do the second. If we change what is in the info card we should also notify Igiss and Team as to the suggested corrections.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :'''Fifthly - American vs British Spelling''' - Personally I think we should be using the American spelling, but that is difficult for me. I've had American curriculum, but then went to university in New Zealand (which uses the British spelling.) I've continually been told all my life that "This way of spelling is wrong..." when it actually isn't, it's just not appropriate to use that way. So now I dont know whether to use tyre or tire - I try to adapt it to my audience, but sometimes I phail. I'm happy either way, but again we need to be consistent.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :'''So to cap off.''' Sorry about reversing your changes. I won't do it again without discussing it with you first. I'm trying to make this wiki the best it can be, not just some half finished job, so i AM being pedantic on many little things. Again, I won't change things without talking - (I'm just impatient to have it finished - there's a lot of work to be done. ;) ) I look forward to working with you.
