General Discussion

What kind of news do you (CCP/ISD) expect to see there?

  • Alliance news?
  • Summary of the past ISD news from the past few months?
  • Small Corporate news (I doubt it)?
  • etc

--Dex Nederland 14:04, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

The same effort as went into the previous Years, the history of the fictional universe of EVE and events therein. Alliance history etc will have its own specialzied history, as that is huge and deserves its own effort.

10 JUNE 2009 What about Factional Warfare news or faction/Empire loyalist news? --Dex Nederland 00:08, 11 June 2009 (GMT)
Along those same lines... would this article be part of PF? Even though it relates in-game player actions, it is published by ISD in an immersion-voice. --Blake Rathen 18:26, 10 June 2009 (GMT)

From just scrolling through the news by id, it looks like the first one of the year was: http://www.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=2648

--Blake Rathen 14:34, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

So I'm considering changing the structure to cover storylines versus each month.

A month by month system is great for events that occur during a single month, but we have events spread across months (and years). In some cases it would probably be better to have this page have links to larger events captured in their own pages (fx the Emanciptation arc, linked to the Minmatar Crusade arc, etc). Part of the reason it is hard (imo) to edit/update this page is that the information is exceedingly spread out and disjointed. Inputs? --Dex Nederland 04:01, 8 June 2009 (GMT)

Whatever the format, I agree that this is just a summary of the year, so it would be a good idea to include links for more in-depth pages. As for editing it, I'm going to start by reading through the news items by incrementing the ID number one at a time, starting with the one I posted above.

Frustrating that only 1 'normal' user can edit an article until someone approves the edits :( --Dex Nederland 01:24, 13 June 2009 (GMT)

Yes, that could be a problem on this type of collaborative project. --Blake Rathen 17:13, 18 June 2009 (GMT)

Graphics

What are considered allowable graphics? If a user/player creates a graphic that is suitable will it be kept? --Dex Nederland 03:50, 11 June 2009 (GMT)

References

Who decided to integrate the reference links into the sup numbers? Has there been an agreed upon means of referencing material on Evelopedia? If so I have edits to make to other articles to bring them into line with the standard.? --Dex Nederland 23:27, 10 June 2009 (GMT)

I did it, Dex, as it seemed a handy solution for including references. I was looking through the EVElopedia Guide on Formating Links and saw this neat little auto-number reference feature for external links, which I thought did the job of including reference links to the original news articles. The nice thing is that it automatically puts the reference numbers in order for you. If it's not proper, feel free to change it up. Or maybe you just want to include the news article title/date for each reference in a footer section?
--Blake Rathen 13:55, 11 June 2009 (GMT)
Mainly just wanted to make sure we are consistent. --Dex Nederland 15:04, 11 June 2009 (GMT)

Deleted!

@CCP Ginger, why were the contents of the page cleared out? --Dex Nederland 14:07, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
