COMRADES! It is the Second Internationale of Wiki Updating Communal Utopia! To inaugarate this mighty work, I have begun major updates for my core articles, which you can see the beginning of here:

ALL COMRADES SHOULD WORK FOR THE GLORY OF OUR WIKI! So go forth and update your own!

I'd love too, but as you know I possess all the computer skills of a deranged howler monkey. As a result of this predicament, I can only alter articles that are already posted. I need others to add new ones as you know.

Then by all means, dump information in this thread with the title you wish them to have.

As well, anyone who wants critiques or suggestions for their wiki articles, post them in this thread. I am interested in feedback for my own main nation article; whether you can steel yourself to read it, for example, and if it makes any sense to you if you did. I have done updates up to Foreign Relations.

You want feedback? Your stuff is great, that's all I really have to say. You have amoung the richest detailed history on NS, never mind the ESUS. As for ship charts, just try and make stuff to scale. Sometimes you have to shrink a ship chart to do it. I'll be posting new stuff when I have time. Although I did post another ship with info on the same thread as I did the first one.

Alright, when uploading to the ESUSWiki, do try and keep things under 500kb/800px, whichever comes first. I know 150kb is a bit draconian and a lot of you probably blow past that warning, but having a picture upwards of 500kb is a bit excessive; the wiki is a reference, not an image-hosting service. I'll be cruising through the files section and cutting back the fat periodically.

To do that:
-Don't save complicated pictures (ship renders w/backgrounds) as a 24bit png; instead, save as a jpg, and reduce the quality 15 percent, to 85 percent quality. The difference is barely perceptible at full resolution and negligible in thumbnails.
-For simpler more stylized files (flags, seals, etc.) do save as a 256 color PNG. JPGs will result in lower quality for these and usually be larger; PNG works best in this instance.

This reduces our bandwidth and makes the wiki more browsable for people with slower connections.

AN, I still have a ship and pics to be put up. Can you do it sometime soon.

EDIT: Thanks!
