| − | == 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]].<br>
| + | |
| − | 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 [http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Category:User_Avatars_of_Netherlands User_Avatars_of_Netherlands], but I am not sure how smart is that. Thank you for your feedback. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

| − | 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. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

| − | OK, so after the feedback, I decided to update the guidelines. The main issue that I have encountered with files (''images'') is that people are overdoing it... I know that some people change avatars like socks and this is becoming very sad. One day we will have one citizen that will upload 1 avatar / day or even more... So, '''I propose that we limit it to 5 citizen avatars in total and one avatar for any other organization'''. Regarding citizen - one would be main, that can be updated daily and it will be used for citizen template, and 4 favorites that citizen can choose to upload, if he/she wants. Please review the image policy and vote can we finally put it in motion. '''Voting will last until the end of this month'''. '''Implementation of the image policy will start in May with warnings to the people who have more avatars than allowed'''. Deletion of this avatars will start as soon as they express their wishes, but very probable in June/July as there will be a lot of things to do with this policy.

| − | ::*{{+0.5}} Since there is a image history for every image file, I don't agree with the 5 avatars limit: I'd prefer '''a single image for every user'''; moreover, a strict naming policy should be forced on avatars to have the same name of the citizen which uses it.<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>]] 11:05, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

What was your help at the beginning, what would be useful for you?

| − | ==March review / Plans for April 2014==
| + | |
| − | Dear editors, last month I have announced [[eRepublik:Bar/March2014#Plans_for_March_and_April_2014|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 [[:Category:Templates|templates]] - took the glance at '''cca 15 %'''
| + | |
| − | *Review of [[:Category:Images|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 [[:Category:Rising|rising articles]] and [[:Category:Version1|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. <br><br>
| + | |
| − | '''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 :) --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

| − | == Party titles and alliance offices ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''1.''' I suggest we merge all [[party titles]] ([[Councillor]], [[Spokesman]], [[Secretary general]] and [[Vice president]]). All the pages all the same (parts regarding party titles):<br/>
| + | |
| − | ''... is a cabinet position within a political party. The position is filled via appointment by the Party president.''.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''2.''' [[Vice president]] should be used only for vCP – person mostly handling foreign affairs, but also being important in decision-making in all other state matters.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''3.''' Also, there are many alliance offices with different titles, but there are actually only a few.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Three main are:
| + | |
| − | * Secretary General (SG)
| + | |
| − | * MoD: Supreme Commander (SC), Military Commander (MC), High Military Representative (HMR)
| + | |
| − | * MoFA: Director of International Relations (DIR), Secretary of Foreign Affairs (SoFA), High Political Representative (HPR)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There are also:
| + | |
| − | * Treasurer
| + | |
| − | * Public Relations Director (PR).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Maybe there are more, I've only looked at ONE, TWO and Asteria so far.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | So, I suggest we merge all this alliance titles into a single article – [[Alliance titles]]. Or like this:
| + | |
| − | * [[Secretary General]]
| + | |
| − | * [[Alliance MoD]]
| + | |
| − | * [[Alliance MoFA]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | And the last two are not as important to have their own article.
