Why is our upload limit 5000 kb? That's absolutely miniscule... hardly enough for what were doing. How do we get more? -John

Oh also, lots of grammar/spelling mistakes on main page. If I were new to the site and glanced at it and saw this, I would leave.


 * Why is our upload limit 5000 kb? That's absolutely miniscule... hardly enough for what were doing. How do we get more?Because our webhoster limits the webspace and we already have 5.463mb in use ...
 * Oh also, lots of grammar/spelling mistakes on main page. If I were new to the site and glanced at it and saw this, I would leave.Well, I have an idea of solution. Let's use our good connection we have per E-Mail.

Somtimes slow
I have noticed that this website can be slow sometimes, about 10/20 minutes ago i experienced about 10 minutes of realy bad lag, in which i couldnt load any of the pages, i visited other websites fine it was just the men of war wiki. Any particular reason for this? it isnt the first time that it has happened. --Muzlie 23:55, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I must say: No ...
 * I have the problem, too.
 * I do not know a solution for that, but there is nothing to do.
 * You may wait half an hour and try it again...
 * I will contact my webhoster, of couse and try to find a solution, because it's site has the same problem.
 * I hope for your understanding;

 * Im asuming that we are only allowed to upload to upload free images or images given with the authors permision.
 * Oh and can we use screenshots from the game?

--Muzlie 20:03, April 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Off course we can. But please not in masses....
 * Please upload only pics u need for pages...
 * Off course you must say where u got the picture from... I will create an Info-Page for it.

Standerdisation of Images
Now that our upload limit has been increased we can start uploading images on to the wiki this is a very good thing ofcorse. However i propose that we should make all of the pages consitent with each other, like a proper encylopedia. Meaning that the images that we upload and place on vehical and unit pages should generaly be of a similar standerd, possibly screen shots which are taken from the same angle, so that a visual comparison between units is possible. It will look messy if different pages contain different quality and different types of images. For example, the page Sd.Kfz. 232 uses a plastic model as a picture, however the page BA-64 uses a screen shot from the game. I feel as if we should only use one type of image for the main article, and then put in extra images if we still have upload space left. I also think that it is vital that we come to a decision soon, before any large amounts of poor quality or unstanderd images are uploaded. Any thoughts? --Muzlie 11:19, April 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I think that this is a good idea...
 * But before we delete any pictures: There is an abillity to upload a newer version a an image and to replace it with this feature with a newer version.
 * --Dennis 18:57, April 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok then, aslong as we let people who are uploading images know that certain guidelines must be followed. Do these exist already?

--Muzlie 19:02, April 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Currently, im writing a help-page about images and files. Maybe i could include them into this page. Good Idea?
 * --Dennis 14:26, April 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, i agree, it would be very helpful.
 * Cheers --Muzlie 21:41, April 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * All right. Could you please post the text here which you think would be right to put in?

spammer + chapters GEM-editor
1. Please do something about the non-men of war content that is placed on this wiki. (just 2 persons, still might be handy to act).

2. Could you fix the chapters (gem-editor) please. Its better you do it before i create a massive mess.......

Thx,

Rupsie


 * To the first: Yea, I "solved" that.
 * To the second: What do you mean with fixing the chapters?
