Title: De Figuris Vicipaediae
Post by: Mobius on February 23, 2008, 04:12:21 pm
Another thing about the Wiki...why do we have poor pictures? Many of them are too old and should be replaced. In addition, I think there could be better backgrounds(maybe not nebulae/planets...but at least SCP starfields).

File dimensions will be hopefully be contained in the process. Suggestions? Comments?

Poor pictures? Can you please be a bit more specific?



And please stick with English - even in topics.

Same as Wanderer here. Be more specific please. What pictures are you talking about? I agree that the Wiki could use more pictures, but the ones that we have now are mostly for the ship and weapons pages, and they look fine to me.

File dimensions should be fine as the Wiki doesn't let you upload BMPs and TIFFs anyway.

Yeah. Italian is cool and all, but it's really unnecessary when the majority of people here don't understand it.

Apparently Italian is too easy, so he's switched to Latin like in this topic. Is Etruscan next?

I have Sanskrit and Old Icelandic education to offer up.  Or, we could just write in English. :)

Etruscan is pretty interesting, actually -- a language isolate in Italy of all places...

Hey, I know some Latin.

Cognac ergo sum. - "I think about cognac, therefore I am thirsty."

Urea iacta est. - "The water is cast." (a typical Finnish expression for urinating)

Carpe bier. - "Seize the beer."

I can speak in French. Why don't we all speak different languages, just to confuse everyone!

Again...  :ick: I'll step in this time a tad early...

Read the linked post (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,51509.msg1053495.html#msg1053495) very carefully and then ponder what i mean with it... You do know that there is the 'general discussion' section of the forums for these useless spamfests?

Alrighty indeed. I'll try to get back on topic.

I, too, seem to be unable to figure out just what pictures are poor or such. If you mean the ship pictures, I wouldn't say poor. Sure, they could be so much better and all that, but the purpose is to just show people that 'This ship looks like this. Please play the game to see it in action". If we start to pay too much attention to the quality of the pictures, I'd guess the quality of the rest of the contents falls. After all, it's the Wiki. Not 'A celebration of FreeSpace'.
