Looks good!

Manual

Needs more cleaning, and a read over. It's really hard to read to me --Fattierob 22:35, 10 October 2011 (BST)

Needs Protection editing

manual should be safe for free editing. if it becomes an issue, we'll just restrict access. Doran

Yeah, I was expecting a lot more editing then what's going on --Fattierob 22:35, 10 October 2011 (BST)

im wondering if bombing and infantry should be separated, as infantry are related in both planet capture and planet management. also, bombing should just be renamed as 'capturing planets' and expanded appropriately Compromisery 17:59, 12 October 2011 (BST)

i really feel that the manual should be separated into pages for each game-related chapter. it would be as good as hell for anyone who opens the finalized manual and has to load over a hundred gameplay images because they are part of the same page. the amputated manual page can have the chapter intro and links to each chapter. maybe also toss in gaming site reviews?

ROC

Done

History Galactica

Needs cleaning

Needs linking

certain parts of the HG can really benefit from condensing, shortening of sentences and pictures. embedded images should be used to give a 'visual story' feel. need some artists for it though. Compromisery 12:48, 11 October 2011 (BST)

Darkspace Database

Add this in? Add it in and break it up into different pages? --Fattierob 23:08, 5 October 2011 (BST)

should almost certainly be split, and it'll likely get covered in other pages Doran

Other Documents

Main Page

links to manual, faq, roc, newplayer/quickstart guide of some sort

tidy up layout

can possibly leave this bit for the general public

or better idea, one of the (to be determined) elevated user "wiki editor/moderators"

I suggest "Chief of Wiki" --Fattierob 19:37, 6 October 2011 (BST)

Category Pages

i think that a number of pages ought to be simple category pages that just list subcontents. for example: "Ships" would just include Destroyer,Cruiser,Dreadnought et al. without making distinction for faction variants. the page for a hull class, ie Cruiser also would be a category page which lists all the variants for each faction. Each ship (Cruiser#ST-34_Torpedo_Cruiser) would then link to a specific page about the craft, rather than a point farther down on the hull class's page, and that's where you'd have info on its armament, speed, turn rate, lore and all the various and sundry goodies that go with, like a screenshot

apply similar set up for gadgets (-> weapons/ship systems -> particle cannon), possibly also star systems, but i think each system can have its own page linked in from the MetaVerse page, and notable planets would then be linked in to their system's page. exception would be a "celestial bodies" group (include stars,nebulae...planets -> gas/terran/arid etc.) Doran

I think the info on the ship should be on the Hull Page, because creating a page for every ship variant (especially with them being renamed all the time) seems tedious and a waste. I can understand either direction, however, and really don't care which way. Agree with everything else too --69.74.217.61 04:58, 7 October 2011 (BST)

Spelling, punctuation and grammar

I know some of you may not call English your primary language, and I know others might just want to get pages up first, then worry about readability later, but for the sake of consistency, make and effort to at least spell-check your contributions as you go. Use the "show preview" button if you need to. Doran

• "you" not 'u'
• their/there/there
• "though" not 'tho'
• try to avoid using slang/shorthand/abbreviations (like "inf") unless you've already given a definition for it.

2012's Most Envied Tights

Tights have had a really long and varied history. They had been originally worn by males centuries ago to be a practical garment for horseback riding, but they were a far cry from the hosiery we know nowadays. In reality, the contemporary version of <a href=http://www.freechurch.org/index.php/member/72920>tights </a> or pantyhose weren't developed till much more recently.Within the early 1900s it became a lot more acceptable for females to show their legs in public, and hosiery became more of a necessity. However the only version of hosiery readily available to women was stockings that were usually produced of silk and, later, rayon. Nylon wasn't invented until the mid '30s, and it wasn't till the 1940s that nylon stockings were readily available on the market.But, modern-day tights nonetheless hadn't been invented. Early versions had been developed within the 1940s and '50s to help film and theatre productions, where stockings had been sewn into the briefs of actresses and dancers. These had been coined "Panti-legs", but it wasn't till 1953 that a commercial equivalent was created by Allen Grant Sr., and it was even longer before they had been obtainable to get. In 1956 Ernest G Rice produced <a href=http://www.christianlaw.org/cla/index.php/member/57853>tights </a> produced from a superior strategy, and it was this style that has been adopted ever considering that. And so, the modern-day tights and pantyhose were provisionally born. But nonetheless, these tights weren't like the ones we know today. Made of nylon, an un-stretching material, tights and stockings had to be created inside a massive quantity of sizes to fit the legs of distinct girls. They weren't comfy or specially practical, and due to the fact strategies hadn't created they had been stitched with seams up the back with the leg. It wasn't till Lycra was created by DuPont in 1959 that <a href=http://servomagazine.com/index.php/member/60857>tights </a> became much more elastic, stretchy and comfy to wear.Thanks for the fashions from the 1960s and '70s, more particularly miniskirts, tights became a lot more of a fashion statement as opposed to a necessity. Sales rapidly took off and they soon overtook the popularity of stockings. It was also in the course of this time that technology created enough to generate seamless versions, and their design has quite much stayed the same ever given that.Since then, tights have created rapidly in terms of the kinds obtainable and the functions they are able to execute. From body toning control-top, support stockings and sheer-toe versions to those with added moisturizers, creams and fat-burning properties, <a href=http://www.parentswithattitude.com/index.php/member/226907/>tights </a> have come a extended way.As well as the age-old issue of tearing holes in tights could even be a issue of the past. There's the prospective of tights becoming created that may remain ladder-free, produced from a newly developed material that may repair itself when the edges are brought back together. As you'll be able to see, hosiery has come a long way, and it's undoubtedly going further!
