Here it is...

Seems like a good idea. Although now we have an IC, an OOC and a none of the above thread.

What do I do? Concerning the wiki.
Zinaire
11-05-2008, 06:01
Well, you already have a Wiki States account, right?
Prycuse
11-05-2008, 06:03
Yes (I signed up early)
Zinaire
11-05-2008, 06:04
Well, take a look at Zinaire's page (click "Factbook" in my sig) for an example.
Prycuse
11-05-2008, 06:08
Ive looked at it a bunch of times.
Zinaire

You probably want to start with your infobox. You can get the code here (http://wikistates.outwardhosting.com/w/index.php?title=User:Zinaire/infobox&action=edit). Just edit the values to reflect your nation.
Prycuse
11-05-2008, 07:04
done
Zinaire
11-05-2008, 07:10
Yeah, just saw it. You'll want to get the correct coords though.

Now go to the front page and start a new page called Prycuse, then enter [[User:Prycuse/Infobox]] into the new page's edit field. That should make the infobox appear on your page.
Prycuse

I couldnt get it to work (the link thing)
Zinaire
11-05-2008, 07:18
Yeah, sorry it's {{ not [[

Also, you should create a page for your nation, not use your user page.
Prycuse
11-05-2008, 07:22
Still dont work
Zinaire
11-05-2008, 07:26
The infobox wasn't actually at User:Prycuse/Infobox, so I just moved it there.

Now start writing the article or copy/pasting it from your current factbook.
Prycuse
11-05-2008, 21:24
Im near done with the big part
Prycuse

Looks pretty good. I made some changes to clean stuff up, but there is still a lot of work for you.

1. In the military section just do a paragraph for each and omit the statistics. For example:

Formed in January 2025, it is the newest branch. It was formed so that the army could leave the country without leaving some Units home in Prycuse. It quickly grew to one of the largest branches with 485,000 troops, 230,000 of which are active, serving at 32 defensive stations around the country.

You should definitely elaborate more. Talk more about duties and whatnot.

2. You should just have one section that gives a brief overview of the political parties and then link it to the main page.

3. I don't know why the Infrastructure section about roads and stuff is filed under Communication.

4. "People" should be changed to "Demographics" and you should try to make it less of a list and more of a paragraph. (And, ironically, you spelled "literacy" wrong).

5. Try to write the history section from a more objective, non-fictional perspective. Right now it feels like a story, not history. You should probably cut it down as well.

6. Get rid of the budget section.

7. Maybe put the Census stuff up in Demographics.

I really like that coin image, by the way, did you make it?

Well, that's what's going on HERE. But the International City IS an RP.
Prycuse

Besides the history is it better?
Zinaire
12-05-2008, 03:15
Offices and Territorial Divisions should be shortened.

And did you make the coin image?
Prycuse

Do you happen to know the template for the navigation bar a the bottom of a page?

Zinaire

You should move them to new pages like you did with the military and the political parties.

What navigation bar?

You should probably start buying all the inventory you claim from a storefront. Just to make it legit.

Well, you should at least start. Zinaire would also be willing to contribute some military aid.

I did buy some stuff several days ago but the guy hasnt been back
Zinaire

Yeah, United Earthlings takes a while to confirm orders.
Prycuse
12-05-2008, 06:48
Did you make those Political Party symbols?
Zinaire
12-05-2008, 06:51
Yep. Each and everyone one of them.
Prycuse
12-05-2008, 06:56
Yep. Each and everyone one of them.

Damn, your good.

Are we gunna do a New Caribbean wiki?
Zinaire
13-05-2008, 00:45
Yeah, once we've established some stuff like the NCIO.
Prycuse
13-05-2008, 01:23
Alright
Anagonia
13-05-2008, 01:56
Do ya'll mind including the Anagonian Naval Base in your calculations? I'm currently at war and will be using it to patch or refit destroyers and frigates from the naval war. And as a place to bring injured soldiers and the like. I'm just asking to make it official, so no outside party complains.

Thanks in advance.
Prycuse
13-05-2008, 02:09
Dont you have base on one of my islands south of the city?
Anagonia
13-05-2008, 02:14

Yea, I do. Sorry about that. Wasn't making mention of having one in the city. I was just considering the IC implications should someone request the long list! XD

Anyways, thanks anyway.

Hey there Anagonia... whatchya been upto?
Zinaire
13-05-2008, 02:20
What calculations would we include this in?
Anagonia
13-05-2008, 02:33
Hey there Anagonia... whatchya been upto?

Pretty good! How ya been? Got any ships to design for me? Maybe a new battleships and destroyer?! I NEED THEM! ARG!

Anyways, yea, been good buddy!

Also, for Z there, the calculations that....er...I have a naval base in Prycuse? I dunno..I think I solved that anyway. But the ships would be near the cities waters, and since everyone doesn't need to be afraid of an invasion and happen to attack my ships which have weapons offline, ya know...kinda scary.

Anyways.

Hey Zinaire, I was thinking we should take this off site. to better organize things. It kinda hard to find stuff all sacttered out across the forms.

Can someone be on my radio show?

what the best site? ill set it up.
Zinaire
23-05-2008, 05:32

A forum, you mean? InvisionFree (what we use for the NC region) is the best (or at least the most widely used on NS). I've worked with that system, so let me know if you need any help.
Prycuse
23-05-2008, 06:42
Oh, You didn't post for a while so i went ahead and made one on a different site. Im still working on it.

Sorry, I was at a show for school. Patience is a virtue though. Anyway, what site?
