Maybe we should roll up our sleeves and get stuck in to clear it out? jojo seems to have been flying solo so far, but I suspect she could do with a hand with this. I'll have some time this afternoon to have a bit of a go at it.

I was trying to keep it up but nobody seemed interested, so I more or less gave up. If people start contributing, I'll join in, but it was beginning to seem like a waste of time. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey, thanks for the cleanup and whoever fixed that stuff.
In order to show my appreciation, I added in pictures of the flavor bots, updated re: the new Slusho! pages, and put up the pics of the girl from the trailer, among other things.

I think it must have been our noble leader SpaceBass, as it has left no trace on the history (apart from the one that I attempted to clean up which has left a dreadful stain). I, for one, find the wiki helpful in organising my thoughts, thanks for your efforts jojo.

I've gotten brave and put in some edits over there, including a new article. I'm going to suggest some things in the 'please help' thread to try to incite interest in the wiki. I think it's our best chance to encourage some good involvement by many of the sites revolving around the Cloverfield project.

If anyone would like to add pictures/photos to the wiki, I've found this to be an invaluable resource:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial
It tells you how to very easily add photos, align them, create thumbnails, etc. Essentially you can copy their scripts and modify them.

Cool jojo, and thanks for your work on the wiki.
Now help me figure out if this build of wiki supports MP3 natively, and in any case how to insert a sound.
If it doesn't support MP3, I can easily convert to OGG.

Looks like it has to be OGG, but for future reference:

I'm guessing we may be getting a roar on the wiki soon?? Awesome.

You would, but we need to sweet talk SpaceBass into letting us put up OGG files. (I tried, it's not in the list of allowed files.)

Ah...chinese reader/speaker here. The spam looks to be random guys from China/Taiwan posting about their WOW gold-farming operations. The numbers are a Chinese phone number and a QQ chat agent ID. Annoying, but not prolific. I just got rid of a new one, but is there any way to keep this from continuing to occur?
On a different note, many of the gifs from the new trailer are rather large. How big a file are we allowed to host?

There are ways. I was waiting to see if there were more instances, and we can possibly ban some sources. When these occur, please replace the page's content with the category "Candidate For Deletion" which makes them easy to find. I can take care of it from there.

I don't necessarily think we need to put up too many of those animated GIF files derived from the trailer. They're useful for the speculations or demonstrations from here, but the wiki is meant to be more about documentation. We can point to the trailer and reference the timecodes when speaking of such things on the wiki.

Greatings from old Europe There is a german wiki-site out there. Maybe you want to include this link to your site?

PS (my face is envy-green): You are the lucky ones, because I have to wait 2 weeks longer for the film.
