 		Okay, I'm getting on board. I'm trying to create an account over there at wikidot, but they aren't sending the email they said they'd send for confirmation. Any idea why this might be happening?

And I'm excited that I got two of my favorite videos!

EDIT: Problem SOLVED! But, of course, we still can't edit pages. Still, I'm getting to work!

-EDIT-
I can't send in an application.

 		Entry #2's page says the operator is visible at around 0:52, but I don't think that's him. If what I'm looking at is the right thing, he's WAYYYYYY too tall.

Can we make it a rule to use 'The Operator' instead of 'The Slender Man' like the wiki does now? I was looking at the wiki earlier today, and that's something that really bothered me :/

This is something I started doing when Season 2 started back up and I went to hit up the wiki to update it, but unfortunately my Christmas vacation proved to be MUCH more full than I expected, and my return to school was too full of theater for my own good.

Protip: Theater and ARGs are usually mutually exclusive, as both require all of your time.

Anyway, I was working on going through every article on the wiki and making sure it was updated; I intend on getting back to that probably this weekend or early next week, when my shows are starting to end. I would love the assistance, and I'll point out that with the exception of Entry 30-32, everything that needs a page should have a page (if only to serve as a placeholder).

tl;dr:
I was halfway through enacting exactly this before I got hit by finals in December and my life got flip-turned upside-down. In the end, there should be a Slender Man Page that tells the Slender Man Myth, but all the actual in-game pages should refer to THE OPERATOR, with the Operator's page saying that he is nearly identical to the Slender Man.

Do as you may, but I still think that it's a good idea to let pairs of trusted members analyze the everliving crap out of the Entries and the TTA videos for the Wiki.

And I agree.

 		@The Illest Villen

I put you down for Entries 2 and 3. Thanks!

@DavFlamerock

Thanks for popping in! And thanks again for all the hard work on the wiki you and the others have done so far. Hopefully all the incoming help will be useful and timely:D

In terms of getting the updates onto the wiki, I figure it would be best to put together a few editors to manage all of the incoming information and then have these two or three people put the stuff up on the Wiki. That way we can have an established format, check for spelling errors, and have quick discussions about the quality of the submitted information. I'll put my name in that hat if it's OK with you and the other editors of the wiki, but I would understand any reservations due to my relative newness to the community. However, I do find myself with lots of free time in the dead of night over here (which would be the afternoon for all of you Stateside:p). Let me know what you guys think. I'm perfectly happy just co-ordinating things on this side and doing a bit of research of my own.

Cheers!

 		At this point don't worry about posting to the wiki. Let's get the info gathering started and we'll figure out the wiki update system as we go.

I'd like to start over from scratch as it were with speculation. So far, the character that has been theorized to be The Operator fits many of the existing criteria of The Slenderman. Let's look for really firm connections that prove without a doubt that Slenderman and The Operator are in fact the same entity. The only connecting tissue for this thought that I've seen is the occurrence of the crossed "O" symbol being on the same page as the word "Operator." Looking back at some of the proposed evidence for this connection really doesn't seem to gel. Let's dig and see where it leads us with as few preconceived notions as possible.


The creators refer to 'the operator' instead of 'slender man' exclusively in their Q&A from the end of season 1, if that makes a solid connection, though that may be too meta?

Also, I'm'a copy/paste your guide for formatting and start trying to fill out each as I go along. I'd better make myself an account, as well!

 		Earlier today I did a rundown of Entry 2's timeline. Do I just post it here?

 		@Dray:

Ah, well if the creators are calling him The Operator then I guess Slenderman = The Operator:p

@The Ilest Villen

I'd say either hang on to it until we get the whole Wiki thing sorted or PM DavFlamerock to see what he says. He's one of the Wiki editors.

 		Can I bagsy #10, #11 and #12 and their respective TTA vids - Operator, Deluge and Impurity? The descriptions currently on the wiki are quite good, so I don't think it will be too much work to brush them up a bit.

Can I suggest that in each of the Entry/TTA video articles we include the following:

- A link to the next sequential video's article (ie, Entry 10 linking to Entry 11) to allow people to quickly follow the story along with the commentary.

- A link to the connected video (ie, Entry 10 linking to Operator and visa versa)

- A link the to the original uF thread for the Entry, if it still exists, so that people can read the debate that surrounded it.

 		Um, I'll help trawl around for specs and theories and whittle it down to the more feasible ones with more evidence etc. That is, if you still need someone to do that.. C:
