Diplomacy

I made sure the NPC diplomacy matches in game information exactly. Golden Chrysanthemums are not listed as an enemy of the Corsairs in game (Using F8) so I undid your false edit. Player faction diplomacy belongs on player faction pages, the NPC pages must match in-game information precisely. RogueCharlie 14:36, 15 September 2009 (MDT)

Since two of their allies were Hogosha and Gaians, I assumed it appropriate to have GC on the enemy list, especially since the GC faction (NPC) has Corsairs on their enemy list. It should be accurate, not just carbon-copies of the infocard. Dab 17:22, 15 September 2009 (MDT)

That might be appropriate for the player factions but the NPC pages must accurately show what is displayed in game. It took me several hours to go back and forth between the individual wiki pages and the appropriate cards in F8 to match everything exactly, as I was instructed to do by the wiki hosts.

Unless you (RogueCharlie) are talking about Igiss in a conversation I'm not aware of, I and Blodo are not Wiki hosts. I'm a Sysop, and appealing to a high authority is a weak way of resolving the "conflict".

For the Record I agree that the NPC factions should have the ingame diplomacy, however this is still between you two at this stage. Let me know what you guys have decided and we can make it "Wiki Policy". If you can't resolve this, then we might need some Wiki Team consultation. ~Chovynz~ ^{(Blabs • Ego)} 21:40, 15 September 2009 (MDT)

I was referring to the feedback on my mytalk page by Skatepro0 to "...dont forget to check if all the diplomacy is correct." I don't know who is whom as far as admins / sysops of the wiki as I'm new to contributing. I do know that the advise given made perfect sense to me as I had planned to match everything up due to changes between 4.84 and 4.85. As for the "conflict," I only find it appropriate that newbies should find the most accurate information on the NPC pages and then check individual faction pages for differences to aid them in choosing among them. That and I would never think to change information given in this wiki without accurate background information (like the information clearly printed in game on the F8 cards) or direct advise from someone who actually is in authority.

You'll notice I left the redirects in? If people search for Border Worlds or Border Systems, they will go to the same place. IMHO this is a developer issue and needs to be fixed. If you seriously have a problem with having a simple wiki redirect to the places, then I'll just have to get them changed ingame, won't I. :) ~Chovynz~ ^{(Blabs • Ego)} 17:23, 4 September 2009 (MDT)

It's not that I have a problem with the wiki redirecting to places, it's the fact that these places literially ARE called the Border WORLDS. The ship line is even named for it; Border World Shipline. Check out the Sabre's page. The word World fits this much better than 'systems.' Systems is more defining of a solar system. While the Border Worlds may encompass more than solar systems. It also includes the areas between the solar systems and the area that encompasses the many solar systems that are a part of the Border Worlds. The original designation is the more accurate of the two. Dab
