Wiki policy for images

Hello everyone. It seems that we are going to need some kind of images standardization and ASAP. Currently there are 16158 images with no category. The worst thing is that there is no real policy regarding images and this is beginning to be a problem. So I have created a suggestion for it here: User:Andycro/Images.
Please take your time to read it and write your ideas what should be corrected or do you think that is ok and also feel free to propose a naming policy for certain files and additional categories. I have noticed that some people try to create categories like User_Avatars_of_Netherlands, but I am not sure how smart is that. Thank you for your feedback. --AndyCro Do you need assistance?

I'd add something for localised images.

hehe I was the one who added that avatar category of the netherlands. But yes, a policy would be a good thing. -- Daniel Parker 21:14, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

I updated the policy, mostly some styling, links and I simplified some things in category section of the policy. Yamisuke, I added Category:Localized Images for all images that are not in English language, but with time, we will create categories Category:Images in Italian, Category:Images in Croatian, etc. But I don't intend to create them until there are ad least 10-15 images per language. --AndyCro Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 19:47, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Do we really need Category: Images in x?
--Yamisuke «Talk» 01:21, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

At this point no, but in the future if necessary (if there will be like 20,30+ images) we can create them. --AndyCro Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 05:16, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

How to help the beginners

Dear editors, I was wondering how to assist all of the editors who are beginning to create, edit, update articles and templates. What was your help at the beginning, what would be useful for you? Give us (me) a feedback so we (I) could help you and all of the editors who will be arriving here :) --AndyCro Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 18:27, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

I had some experience with Wikipedia first, I remeber they had quite a good article for new editors. But it basically was a 5 or 10 point list, consisting of a mix of do's and don't, tips and tricks. (when to edit, how to edit, tips like signing and talk pages) -- Daniel Parker 01:27, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Once there was a wiki mentorship program: I applied after registering to Wiki, then I still had to learn by myself since there were actually noone in office for that. V:
--Yamisuke «Talk» 01:25, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

So either we could restart mentorship project, or we could create easier tutorial for new editors with basics... Or both. Plus, an idea - I would add additional job to our Gucio who opens new accounts - when he is checking is that person real on eRep, he could send him some kind of welcome PM there. --AndyCro Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 18:48, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

This is not stuff for Gucio, this is stuff for Admin.
--Yamisuke «Talk» 19:16, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Admin doesn't know that wiki is still alive, so Gucio is our only hope! :D --AndyCro Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 07:54, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

We're doomed.

March review / Plans for April 2014

Dear editors, last month I have announced some Plans_for_March_and_April_2014 and put a great amount of time to execute it. As month has turned, it is time to review:

• Review of Category:Playing the Game and its subcategories - more then 60 % of articles has been reviewed, some of them are archived, some of them are on the list to be updated.
• Review of templates - took the glance at cca 15 %
• Review of files/images - policy idea in progress, this will be a large project for me when we adopt the policy, probably it will take 10-15 years to complete the project
• Review of translations... The list is under way, in day or two I will compile a list of articles what has to be updated. Grzechoo has done a great job here with his list. I have also updated the eRepublik:Wiki Translators Bureau with new info, so it is a decent plays for editors to start.
• To conclude... I have done a lot of poking around. It is a deep pit and I will create several lists of what should be updated / translated / created. Feel free to take any task of it. I have to thank User:Sre8renica who done a lot of boring job last month, I hope that in this month more editors will join us in doing this boring stuff.

In April, my plans are:

• Finish checking Category:Playing the Game,
• Review of rising articles and V1 articles
• Review all the policies, try to review templates (ad least to get to some 50 % review) and
• To start my biggest project (files) which will probably deserve a new place in my user sandbox.

I am booked, but I will continue to do all boring sysop staff like deleting pages, reviewing new pages, edits, etc.

If you don't know what to do, feel free to visit: User:Andycro/List or eRepublik:Wiki Translators Bureau or eRepublik:To-do list/Uber Editors and take any task there. The list(s) will be updated weekly (monthly). At the end - I will try to raise some "reward money" to donate in good causes - bringing more wiki editors / translators, funding for some interesting project (creating super duper templates...), but I will give more info during the month. And please, talk, share ideas, problems, suggestions... Lets try to review the wiki :) --AndyCro Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 18:59, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Well done, feel free to feel other gaps (practically whole 2013 and 2014...) :) --AndyCro Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 18:48, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Speaker and Chairman of Congress

Do we really need two different pages for the same role?
--Yamisuke «Talk» 18:25, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

I believe not, Speaker will probably be left standing... I am preparing new {{Jobs}} in my sandbox for all positions, and than I will move/delete/create redirects when I review them all. --AndyCro Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 18:48, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
