Expand & Exterminate .155 Released!
Moderator: Moderators
Flint, I hope you don't mind, but I did a bit of editing and cleanup on your page. I converted a bunch of things into proper headers (and arranged them into what seemed to be the proper heirarchy), and cleaned up your grammar and spelling a bit. I don't think I broke anything, or changed the meaning of anything; I apologize in advance if I did.Flint wrote:I just finished the E&E wikipedia entry, theres a comprehensive URC guide in there plus a lot of credits, check it out when you have time guys.

At least run the page through a spellcheck before posting it. Also, there's no point in the <!-- TOC --> markup if you don't want to have proper sections.Decimator wrote:Eh, we're rolling it back. We liked the way it looked before.
In fact, why is this in the Wiki at all? You don't want people to edit it, you don't want to use Wiki features... You'd be better off with a static web page somewhere.
Oh well, I apologize for correcting your spelling errors and trying to make the page look presentable.

But then again I can't spell...
"Thier airforce consists of Vtols." (Two... For the price of one!)
Pretty much every occurrence of "their" is misspelled.
"your enemies base"
"the oponnents economy"
If the page makes you wince when reading it, it doesn't work well as promotional material. Well, unless you're trying to attract the really hardcore kind of gamer. The sort that finds vowels and digits to be interchangable.

At least we have an eye for aesthetics, why do you think a needless table of contents should petrude between the promo image and provide vacant space, it looked awful. A few spelling errors, barely any at all anyways does not mean anything if you cant even make the wiki look interesting, which you did exactly the opposite. Fang and the group all didnt like how you changed it, get over it and stop being childish.
unless anyone posts legitimate difficulties in understanding the page, tiny spellin errors (which many of us type in the lobby all the time) like that are truly unimportant. Besides, this is just to basically give people a head start for when the mod is released.
EDIT: oh and who cares about unnecessary/useless lines of code. NO ONE sees them unless they... i don't know, decide to edit a page with out telling the creator of the page.

Actually, spelling, grammar, and style errors do mean something, especially in marketing material. If you can't express your ideas well, people aren't going to be interested in what you've got to say or what you're offering. Sure, people who're already part of the community and know that your mod will offer good gameplay will still try it. But I thought one of the purposes of this mod was to attract new players to Spring? If so, well-edited marketing material will be important. Unprofessional, sloppily-written marketing material will turn people away.Flint wrote:At least we have an eye for aesthetics, why do you think a needless table of contents should petrude between the promo image and provide vacant space, it looked awful.

If you didn't like the formatting, you could've reverted it in a couple of minutes without touching the rest of the changes. Pull up the diff, do about ten copy-and-pastes, hit save. Presto. Instead, you wiped out the whole edit, like a five-year-old throwing a tantrum and breaking his favourite toy because someone else played with it. And I'm the one being immature? Right.
As for editing a page... It's a Wiki. That's what it's there for. If you don't want people editing your pages without checking with you first, don't put them on a Wiki, or get an administrator to protect the page. Or say something in the talk page. Don't just put it up and assume people will beg you for permission before contributing.
