==Clean-up update==
+
[[:Category:Articles_with_warning]] has received almost 100 new requests to be removed by yours trully. This is due to the second batch of clean-up of the articles in one of the cleaning subcategories of [[:Category:Wiki Management]], or simply in one the [[Special:SpecialPages|Clean-up reports]]. That means that I have reviewed almost 1000 articles in last 7 days.
+
 
+
I have been extremly careful, so pages that should be updated (Presidents or other important people got {{Tl|Stub}} template instead of warning) or even people that are still ''alive'' didn't get on this list. On this list are articles that are stub for months (read years), or citizen articles where person is dead, and page is lonely (and stub). '''PLEASE, FEEL FREE TO CHECK THE ARTICLES, AND IF YOU WANT TO UPDATE IT SO IT SHOULD BE ON THIS WIKI, JUST UPDATE IT'''. If nobody will update any of the articles, they will be deleted at the end of the month, which is more than enough time if anybody wants to tackle with them. Thank you for reading this notice. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

:As you know, last month was huge update month, and we have made a [[User:Andycro/Plans|huge impact to the lonely page list and files lists]]. There is still a lot of work to be done, so feel free to continue with the good work. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

==Proposal to wake up wiki editors==
+
Although I am really enjoying that recent changes is usually ''empty'', so I can update all of the stuff are needed to be updated, I have a suggestion that would like to hear the community what do they think... What would you say if an editor could win a jackpot things as they can usually in the [[Power spin]]? I mean, the spinning is randomly generated, and eRepublik bosses give away this anyway, so why not organize something similar here? Would be nice to hear what does community think about it, as would be a nice think to motivate people to edit. There can be some conditions how to get a chance to win it, like sysops have to give you some "editing credit" if the editor edits something from importance, or top 7 people would get it, or something else. Thank you for your feedback. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

:Feel free to ask our Mesther buddy about it, assuming he may care about this wiki.<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;" >HI!</span>»</span>]] 14:25, 12 April 2015 (PDT)

== Image policy addition ==
+
 
+
As you already know, last year we adopted an awesome [[{{ns:project}}:Image policy|Image policy]] which set some important naming rules for avatar files, which helps a lot in making some rules about putting pictures on the wiki. But, I would like to propose small adition to it for the part of [[:Category:Game Icons]]. Icons uploaded are named differently so it is quite a mess there. Especially in the [[:Category:Politics Icons]], where you have 3 different naming types, then followed by [[:Category:Missions]] where there are 4 different types of naming, of course [[:Category:Decoration Icons]] are even worse as I don't know is there any naming type here. [[:Category:Building Icons]] started to follow some naming rule, but then the rule just dissapeared and of course [[:Category:Achievements]] has the same problem with naming... And this is just which I noticed and what is actually in categories, because stuff that are not in the categories are usually 456f645ffdg4ad65g4a45d4f45a6s6.jpg
+
 
+
So this is the problem, now what is the solution... Simple, making a rule easy to follow, and I have three of them, but if you have any, feel free to write it down<br>
+
#'''Icon''' - ''What is it'' - '''Name of the Icon''' (Example: [http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/File:Icon_position_party_member.gif Icon position party member.gif], [http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/File:Icon_rank_World_Class_Force*.png Icon rank World Class Force*.png]; most of the old files are categorized like that)
+
#''Icon'' - '''Name of the Icon''' (Example: [http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/File:Icon_-_Aluminum.png Icon - Aluminum.png]; Buildings and Resources are done like that)
+
#'''Name of the Icon''' (Example: [http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/File:Employee.gif Employee.gif] - only really new images are done like that.)
+
For the missions, I think that adding number (if applicable) after the name would be useful if there are more than one part of the same named mission. And also think about should all letters be upper cases or lower (except first one which has to be upper) cases. Please vote by writing the number of rule solution which you like and letter option (Examples: ''1-upper''; ''2-lower'', ''3-I don't care''. You can vote for all of the options, as I would really like to hear your opinions. [[:Category:Discussion_Templates|Voting templates can be found here]]. Thank you for your time. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

:{{+1}} 1-lower. --[[Image:Icon-Montenegro.png|15px]] [[User:Bogohulja|'''Bogi''']] | [[User talk:Bogohulja|''Talk'']] 13:47, 7 April 2015 (PDT)

== War pages and maps naming rules ==
+
 
+
I just made page [[Bulgaria–Peru War]], but then it occurred to me that there might be more wars of Bulgaria and Peru in the future. So in order to avoid future article renamings, my proposal is to name wars like this: <u>''Attacker''–''Defender'' War (''Month Year'')</u>. For example <u>Bulgaria–Peru War (February 2015)</u>. Or if it's bigger war, <u>(''Alliance'') invasion of ''Country/Region'' (''Month Year'')''</u> (<u>''[[Asteria invasion of Chile (February 2015)]]</u>. For world wars it's obviously not necessary.
+
 
+
Also, use [[wikipedia:N-dash|N-dash]] – or maybe even [[wikipedia:M-dash|M-dash]] — instead of [[wikipedia:hyphen|hyphen]] -.
+
 
+
As for war maps, should be named: <u>File:Map-''War name''.png</u> and put into [[:Category:War Maps]]. --[[Image:Icon-Montenegro.png|15px]] [[User:Bogohulja|'''Bogi''']] | [[User talk:Bogohulja|''Talk'']] 14:10, 10 April 2015 (PDT)

:Several keyboard layouts only can easily let people type hyphen instead of other dashes that should be retrieved someway; there's no point in using something difficult for the majority of editors.<br />About the whole naming policy proposal for wars, it may be a good idea instead of using ordinal numbers that may result pointless since there may be countless wars; time reference is way useful than the order of wars; anyway, I'd use a shorter notation for time (e.g. Feb 2015, Feb 15 or even 02-15) and maybe for countries too according to [[Wikipedia:ISO_4217#Active_codes|this table]].<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;" >HI!</span>»</span>]] 05:36, 11 April 2015 (PDT)

::What I have reached so far is: name page with [[wikipedia:N-dash|N-dash]] and create redirect with [[wikipedia:hyphen|hyphen]], like they do it on [[:wikipedia:Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Dashes|Wikipedia]]. I have made [[:Category:War Maps]], which contains 130 images atm. And for naming, I think it's best to use Feb 2015, others are too short imo and we don't even use 02-15 date format on wiki, since it can be confusing sometimes (for example 10-11 could be interpreted as both October 2011 and November 2010). --[[Image:Icon-Montenegro.png|15px]] [[User:Bogohulja|'''Bogi''']] | [[User talk:Bogohulja|''Talk'']] 03:10, 17 April 2015 (PDT)

:::You and your redirects. Why are you complicating stuff. Make it simple. Normal dash, Map-Name of the War (Month Year), just like you did here [[:File:Map-Asteria invasion of Chile (February 2015).png]]. The perfect thing is that it matches the war naming rule and it is really simple to follow. All of this shorten month (Jun instead of June?) and different dashes, it is just to complicated. There are already to many of different naming rules, to confusing. Just my opinion. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

::::{{-1}}''N-dash?? hyphen??''  What are they? Please, please keep it simple. There is no point using Wikipedia examples. This is NOT Wikipedia. We cannot compare in editor-power. For many of our editors this is their first venture into the online-pedia. Simple rules = less repair edits.
