==Categories==
+
I just want to make clear whether we want categories like [[:Category:Ministers of Education of Romania]]. If we should keep them, ok, if not, let's remove them, but the rule must apply to all the articles.

You can check subcategories of [[:Category:People of Romania]] and state your oppinion. --[[Image:Icon-Montenegro.png|15px]] [[User:Bogohulja|'''Bogi''']] | [[User talk:Bogohulja|''Talk'']] 13:00, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

== Decorations ==
+
 
+
In February 2014 I created a page with [[Decorations]] offered by the game at missions or contests to have a wiki page with all decorations. Today I updated the page, but I don't know if the page is completed, because I don't know if these are all decorations offered by the game. Who can help me with this "problem"? --[[File:Icon-Romania.png|15px|]]  [[User:mib_boby|mib_boby]] | [[User_talk:mib_boby|''Talk'']] 21:19, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

== Wiki Mentor Program ==
+
 
+
Playing on the Wiki I found [[:Category:Wiki Mentor Program]] and I thinks this project is cool. It's any chance to be reactivated? --[[File:Icon-Romania.png|15px|]]  [[User:mib_boby|mib_boby]] | [[User_talk:mib_boby|''Talk'']] 23:36, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

:A good question from mib_boby. Even better would be, is it possible to '''reactivate''' (''revive'') anything here? The wiki is almost dead and only couple of active members are keeping it alive. If something doesn't change soon, then wiki will be dead completely. So, my answer to mib boby is very simple: '''If you are willing to give it a chance, then maybe you can revive the mentor program'''. I have corrected the links on mentor pages (all of them can be found [[:Category:Wiki_Mentor_Program|here]]), but main problem is to find mentors - and then you have to update pages about mentors ([[:Category:Wiki Mentor Program Members]] and [[{{ns:project}}:Wiki_Mentor_Program/Mentor_List]]) and find a way to get the message to newbies that mentor program exists. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

::If we wanna to revive wiki, we need to convince our friends to create a wiki account and to help us to update the Wiki. A good way to contact newbies is to send a message in the game, on the wiki they don't know how to talk. I will publish these days an article in Romania to invite the citizens to create wiki accounts. After that, I will try to be a mentor for them to explain what they need to do and to contribute.... --[[File:Icon-Romania.png|15px|]]  [[User:mib_boby|mib_boby]] | [[User_talk:mib_boby|''Talk'']] 12:13, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

==cleaning up==
+
Some of you have maybe noticed that today I have put almost 200 articles in [[:Category:Articles with warning]] - 90 % of this articles are stub articles for dead citizens. In next two days I will add approximately 400 more and this is only the first part of the cleanup as I am reviewing [[Special:LonelyPages|lonely pages]] now, and next month (after deletion of articles form the category), I will review [[:Category:Formatting]] and [[:Category:Stub]] for articles not touched for more than a year and I will repeat the procedure.
+
 
+
I know that it would be faster and easier to delete the pages but I am trying to follow the procedure as best I can so feel free to check the category if you think some of the articles are worth saving. If nobody will complain in next 15 days, articles will be deleted on July 31st, August 1st, 2nd and possible 3rd if I don't manage to review all of the lonely pages in next two days.
+
 
+
Why this cleanup is needed? Wiki has been hit with a bunch of useless articles and images (possibly categories and templates) and this is attempt to improve the quality of our wiki. If you want to help, feel free to check [[Special:MostLinkedCategories|large categories]], especially language and add [[Help:Common_templates/Templates|notices]] if required. Thank you for taking the time to read this. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

:Your effort is admirable; even though, I won't spend my time until a proper maintenance will be scheduled (to be honest, I haven't much time lately).<br />--[[User:Yamisuke|<span style="font-family:Segoe Script;color:#333;">'''''Yamisuke'''''</span>]] [[User_talk:Yamisuke|<span style="color:black;font-size:11px;text-decoration:none;" >«<span style="font-size:10px;color:red;" >WANNA FIGHT?!</span>»</span>]] 03:29, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

::First part is finished, 451 articles have been added in the category and will be deleted in cca 10-15 days. Feel free to browse through the [[:Category:Articles with warning|category]] and view if something has been misplaced, although I don't think so as articles are lonely, citizens dead without any major achievements. After removal I will again start second phase, with even ''deeper'' looking at the lonely, stub and non-formatted articles. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

===User cleanup===
+
I suggested few weeks ago to [[User:Gucio|Gucio]] to clean up some of the inactive users. Honestly, I don't see the point in having users inactive for months (years) without any contribution, or contributing by only creating their own page for a citizen with no real achievements. Following the deletion policy, I add to this pages warning so in next few days they will be with no contributions... I started to create a list of that users in my [[User:Andycro/Reminders#Inactive_users|reminders sandbox]]. I would really like to knew your opinion, should we merge this users if they are inactive for more than 12 months if they are without any contributions? --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;))]]</small> 13:45, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
+
:If I recall correctly, at the moment Gucio is not able to 'delete' users.<br />--[[User:Yamisuke|<span style="font-family:Segoe Script;color:#333;">'''''Yamisuke'''''</span>]] [[User_talk:Yamisuke|<span style="color:black;font-size:11px;text-decoration:none;" >«<span style="font-size:10px;color:red;" >WANNA FIGHT?!</span>»</span>]] 16:28, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
+
:: As far as I recall I should be able to remove users now. Really, regardless of what the opinion is such action would require administrative permission, which I do doubt you would get. --"[[User:Gucio|<span style=" 0.0em 0.1em 0.5em; font-family: Georgia;">'''''Gucio'''''</span>]] [[User_talk:Gucio|<span style="color:black; font-size:10px; text-decoration:none;" >«<span style="color:pink" >Talk</span>»</span>]]" 22:44, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
+
:::Gucio, I realize that owners of eRepublik want to have the number of active players as high as possible because than they can say we have 100000 people playing the game (no matter if 90000 are dead), but what do they gain to have 10000 editors, while 9750 are inactive? Can you ad least ask the bosses can we give some permission to delete '''any''' (or all) of the following groups:
+
*Registered over a year and without ANY wiki contributions
+
*Registered over a year and without ANY wiki contributions, citizen dead/impossible to find
+
*Registered over two years, only wiki contributions are editing his/her user page
+
*Registered over two years, only wiki contributions are editing his/her user page, citizen dead/impossible to find
+
*Banned ingame without ANY wiki contributions
+
*Banned ingame, only wiki contributions are editing his/her user page
+
I would help you with the creation of the lists (which will take forever as there is 10000+ editors) so we can sort this shit out. Thank you in advance for asking. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

+
===Notability===
+
I would again emphasis that notability policy should be written. It was announced several times in the past (since 2010) but never completed. Bogi started to make a proposal, but as many before him, he stopped - [[User:Bogohulja/Sandbox/Notability]]. Feel free to use this for adding things to it, or copy it to your own sandbox to make your own proposal. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;))]]</small> 13:45, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
+
: Not sure if I understand this?!
+
: If that '''becomes policy''' of this Wiki we'll have to delete over 75% of current citizen pages. That is in adition and does not include thousand pages or so already marked for deletion as ''Lonely pages''.
+
: Unless citizen was "'''President''' of country or has served as one of the only '''2''' recognized Ministers ('''MoDs, MoFA''') '''than they should not have their own page'''" - that would include most of the current citizen pages on this Wiki.
+
: Just about all of the newspaper pages will have to be deleted as "''Having many subscribers or MM medals should not be enough criteria for citizen or newspaper being added to the wiki''"--[[User:Sre8renica|Sre8renica]] ([[User talk:Sre8renica|talk]]) 00:25, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
+
::As I said, we have to create some guidelines... And sooner better than later. This upper is only a link to Bogi's idea, I didn't said that this is final, obviously people who are here longer should make suggestions what should be in notability policy. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;))]]</small> 04:21, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
+
:::As usually, I did not explain myself well enough.
+
:::Some of us are already using '''rules?''' to mark for deletion pages that are not good enough.... and there is more to come
+
:::As a suggestion... why not add "rules" that we are using at the moment - as a starting point. Than add other "rules" that Andy will use to delete pages in 2nd (3rd, 4th... etc round) ''';-P'''
+
:::eg.:
+
:::*'''lonely pages''' - this is supposed to be an encyclopedia of eRepublik, so every page needs to be linked to. No point having a pages "hidden" that no one can find. So, have them linked or destroy...
+
:::*delete citizens who have received a '''Permanent Ban''' '''AND''' had no major achievements unless ban was "unique"
+
:::*should not delete "dead" citizens, just because they have died. But, if page is not up to Wiki standard AND no one bothered to improve it in X+months/years than it should go.
+
::::This is more of a '''type/style''' of guidelines that (in my opinion) should be used. (Deleting citizen page Solely because there is no President or major Minister achievement is, in my opinion, a wrong way to go --[[User:Sre8renica|Sre8renica]] ([[User talk:Sre8renica|talk]]) 23:35, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
+
 
+
I actually agree with Srebrenica. Guess it's more important what is article like. If someone put effort info making it pretty and meaningful, let it be. --[[Image:Icon-Montenegro.png|15px]] [[User:Bogohulja|'''Bogi''']] | [[User talk:Bogohulja|''Talk'']] 19:49, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

I would like to change the last sentence to the welcome message into something like: ''And remember, if you ever need any assistance, check out the sidebar on the left for help with Editing, Policies, or Templates and feel free to simply say hello, or ask any question in the [[Bar]], which you should visit every time you log on to the wiki to check are there any discussions.<br><br>'''Again, welcome and have fun'''!
