Once more for the money?

[Stormkeeper]

The Near End was 5 months or more before the Shivans Arrived. So when the Terrans Started to move into Vasuda the PVN Started to crumble. When the Shivans Came it Ended the War.

I found this single statement utterly hillarious. No idea why.

On another note, we don't really have much canon intel on the 14 Year War.

[Shade]

Thanks for the heads up. Consider it dealt with

[Snail]

Now this guy is at it.

[Shade]

I've been monitoring him. He's actually making a campaign, though, and hasn't changed any canon pages nor added any links to pages he has made. So what he's doing is fine so far - Documenting a campaign you're making is a perfectly reasonable use of the Wiki.

[Snail]

Ah, 9rd Fleet is a campaign...

[Shade]

Yeah, he may need some help with grammar and the like as he's French and has already admitted that his english is terrible, but I can live with that if we get another campaign to play.

[Stormkeeper]

He could always enlist help from the bilingual members on the forum. We do have a number of French users, and I'm sure most of them speak English well.

No, no. Getting native speakers' help should be the best. There are sentence structures that are grammatically correct, but sound weird to a native speaker.

On-topic: At least he is able to communicate with us. ITA Master did not do that.

[Snail]

I can probably translate a bit of French if it's easy enough. I did a lot of French a few years ago.

One problem I can see though is that his articles aren't in paragraph form, and are laid out in point form, which might be a bit hard to make into a coherent article without his direction.

[Snail]

And the Master returns...

[Shade]

I'm aware of it. This time though, he's actually doing as I told him to do by making a campaign page and linking to it from the proper location, so I see no reason to intervene yet. Spelling and grammar are bloody lousy as before of course, but I'm willing to see where this goes.

[TopAce]

Well, at least he didn't flood the Wiki with his noncanon stuff. That's one step ahead. Still, the fact that he added the"PLEASE DON'T EDIT THIS PAGE" cannot be permanent.

[EDIT] Now he has removed his campaign from the Campaign List (FS2) article, but kept its article. He's confused about what he can do and what he shouldn't.

[Snail]

I don't get why he won't communicate.

EDIT

Laser screwdriver. Who'd have sonic?

He's created another campaign, "Desert Storm". He's also added Desert Storm into the place where Jupiter's Story used to be (Pre-Great War era)

[TopAce]

Perhaps it's not a new campaign, but Jupiter's Story renamed?

[Snail]

No, Jupiter's Story was something to do with the Jovian colonies of Sol, Desert Storm is apparently Vasudan-related. I think he's brainstorming but being a bit too enthusiastic and posting up every idea that goes into his head. As long as it's controllable for now I think we can let it slide.

[TopAce]

Well, yes. But his articles need some polishing, most notably for capital letters.

[EDIT] I made some changes. I hope I didn't discourage him.

[Snail]

Well he's removed Desert Storm too, now. That means he's added Jupiter's Story, removed it, replaced it with Desert Storm and removed it again. What's he doing?

[TopAce]

He doesn't like his pages edited. Can't think of anything else.

[Droid803]

Well, if he bothered to read the guidelines...
