Reworking the AH wiki

[titanic3]

More specifically, the aircrafts. A lot of the info is outdated or not even there. Was thinking of doing it myself and maybe some others if they're willing to help. How would I go about doing that or can I at all?

I will help if I can.

So there are no technical and historical accuracy police who jump on you for touching the wiki?

To the best of my knowledge their are several of them, bustr ....

If a person post inaccurate material, and continues to do so, I even believe that the individual will
be locked out or possibly banned from posting/editing the AHwiki.... IIRC....

...so other than what TC said, YES you can go ahead and start updating the pages. I think Murdr was the one in charge originally, but he is off playing in his rock band... a real one not the video came.

[TequilaChaser]

My bad... Like Fugi posted above, YES , any aces high forum member can edit/update the ahwiki

I think Murdr might still be one of the "pillars" as far as the aircraft section goes,  I also believe MrFork to be another, along with several others....

There is also 1 or 2 sticky threads at the top in the Aircraft & Vehicles forum regarding adding/editing the AHWIKI

Hope This Helps

So aside from the fraternal order over tones being expressed here by you and Fugi.

Who is the review board, or are you and Fugi the administrators to the Wiki pages, or is that the sole domain of HTC personel? Or is the wiki a domain of the AH Trainers and all submissions dependent on their review?

If the wiki is a "post it" then take your chances on your posting being deleted for unfitness WEB site. Why isn't there simply a submission board to determin the fitness of your offerings like skins and maps with interactive feedback or schloastic mentoring? Though this does remind me a bit of scholasticism run by a papal order of estics.

Otherwise it's kind of capricious for an invisible god hand to wipe out your offering after you spend the effort to input the content. That could lend itself to faulty judgement visa personal feelings or ingroup identity. And to threaten questioners of the status quo with dire consiquences for possible future acts of faulty scholership and disobediance would be laughed at under any real world review outside of a pedagogic fraternity's speech codes Tequila.

Who or collective, exactly is the highest arbiter of submission fittness to the Wiki before seeking redress visa Hitech or Skuzzy? Is that you TequilaChaser or Fugi?? Is this sort of akin to Pelosi telling us we can see what's in the bill if congress just passes it? A posters roulette game against the house. Don't bother asking for the used Car FAX......

[TequilaChaser]

Heck bustr, to be honest, I do not currently know who is or who might be overseeing what people ( meaning ah community members ) are posting to the AHWIKI.... I just recall back when the ahwiki was first getting started, that their were several who were overseeing/checking what was being posted...
Hopefully someone in the know, will post with more knowledgable information..

The AH Training Corps is not in charge of or over any part of the ahwiki, except for it's own section only.

Hope this helps

Sorry, but I did not realize people would view my posts/replays in such the way that you have taken it..

That's just bustr. Ignore it.

[Babalonian]

That's just bustr. Ignore it.

Pretty much.  Gramps gets grumpy before cocktail hour.


My guess is Skuzzy has the master keys to the wiki since it's on the same server as the forum I believe.

But bustr, you're going to have to write articles like you're explaining it to a 9yo AND you like them.

[bustr]

Babs,

So there are no technical and historical accuracy police who jump on you for touching the wiki?

Thats OK I got the answer: No one knows.

But, then why did my question warrent anything but, "no one knows" rather than quite a serious and specific warning of dire consiquencies over actions that have yet to happen by someone who dosen't know? I've never posted to the AHWiki personaly, only here in the AH forums.

Not alot different than observing "voir dire" and the lawyers as they ask well crafted "voir dire" questions to perspective jurors to see how they feel about issues related to the accusation against their client. An interesting response to a rather banal question. But, thats how the best work during "voir dire".

Got much more than I barganed for since all I wanted know was answered with "no one knows"..........

There are 27 Administrators for the AHWiki.

If anyone has questions about the wiki, you can go there and read about how it works and how wiki's work. It's all there.

To the original poster, you can indeed edit and contribute to the wiki. That's what wiki's are for. The information is all there. You can't really break anything because everything can be undone. Administrators are the ones who can lock or unlock pages and ban IP addresses for recurring malicious edits.

The plot thickens and circles back on itself over a "simple question".........27 Administrators with banning and locking super powers. Shades of Teqhila.

Any breakdown on them Rolex? Since you have a potential 27 member or "portion of" board of (peer??) review that any player's offering will have to be jury'd by. I am honestly hoping the ghost town of riviting Aces High and WW2 related information and HowTo's is only because many players either don't have the time, or don't feel themselves accomplished in WW2 and game knowlege enough to contribute. At least for me thats my speculation.

Or perish the thought thats one ginormous thesis committee to run afoul of for a cartoon kiddy game that we pay $14.95 a month just to chase each other going piu, piu, piu. Kind of reminds me of how a federal government department will grow all by itself to monitor how many green ducks opposed to purple ducks land in a swimming pool sized pond each year in the middle of nowhere. When all it takes is a remote camera and one county game warden to replace the batteries every month or so.
