 		Hey guys, we're putting together a group to help with wiki updates and general info gathering. Who do we submit info to for consideration or can a few of us be granted wiki updating privileges? You can check the thread here:

 		Is there a chance that those of us who signed up on the wiki project could be allowed to edit the wiki? My name there is the same as here.

For the record, the Marble Hornets wiki is mostly up-to-date. Transcripts of the last two entries & for the ToTheArk videos would be appreciated. Makdee's transcripts were copied/pasted into the wiki, with due credit given for his contributions. Speculation & Analysis sections could also use some fleshing out. Thank you, & I hope that this helps.

 		Added a page for the Ark: http://marblehornets.wikidot.com/the-ark

Also been going through looking for other conspicuously absent pages to create, such as the basement/bathhouse, and pages to clean up/add to, such as the character profiles. Wouldn't mind some help scouring old threads for relevant theories -- it's the most time-consuming part!

I posted a transcript for Entry 35 on page 34 of it's thread (if only I had waited another page Razz ). It only does the filmed parts and not the slides that J uses at the beginning and end, so you'll need to edit it.

 		I'm starting to think that the speculation and analysis sections of each Entry needs to be scrubbed. There are just some things that feel redundant in there. I'm rewatching the series and I'm up to Entry 16, but I noticed that there are some wrong things in there.

For example, something written at the bottom of Advocate's page says that the camera didn't pan to the right in Entry 7, but it did at 0:22. That part of Entry 7 seems to continue from some filming that they had been doing before, which is why that Advocate lasts longer than the few seconds at the start of Entry 7.

I do think that what is written at the bottom of each page needs more attention and updating.

Reading this over sounds like a rant in my head, but I didn't mean it that way.

No, this is legit. A bunch of the stuff written in Spec and Analysis seems to be written and then left there long after it's disproven, or written and left there with little to do editing for accuracy. I'll start to do a little more pruning in the entries I format/theory-mine for, but if you want, PM Dav Flamerock for editing ability in the wiki. The more of us that are on this, the better!

I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (actually qualify for by strict medical testing, but haven't been to a doctor because I don't want pills). If I was given access to the wiki I'd end up combing every page and finding anything incorrect just because I had to. I would cause chaos with my spell checking, mostly because I cringe at the American spelling of words.

I'd be more helpful pointing and saying "That needs updating" because I have serious problems controlling my obsessions Confused

Man, fair enough! Just seeing if I can't rope another person into this messy business. Any input you've got would be welcome too, in any case.

 		For the record, the wiki has been updated to include all of the latest info. There is now a page for the Broadcast Video.

 		Not sure if it's 'necessary' to post this up here or not, but figured I might as well make a point to note it.

I did a small amount of cleaning to fix something that's personally bugged me about the wiki for a while - the lack of a Table of Contents on most pages, especially lengthy ones. If they were left out for a reason and should be removed, that's fine, but I think it makes searching through the pages a LOT easier, especially if you don't know where to look.

I'm also going to work on a transcript for #16 since it really doesn't seem to have a transcript like the other entries. I mentioned this on the other wiki thread, but never really got a response, so I guess I'll just 'go for it'?

 		Thank you for adding the tables of contents. I never thought to add those, but they are very useful for new & long-time readers alike. Any new or improved transcripts are appreciated.

 		Seeing as I sort of found myself in the midst of a tiny conflict-o-interests on the Call for Volunteers thread, I'd like to propose something awakeasaurusrex brought up as a possibility to make the Slenderman/Operator pages mesh more.

awakeasaurusrex wrote:
Here's what I'd ask: why give a full page to Slender Man that is devoted almost entirely to concepts from outside of the game?

Make "Slender Man" a subsection of the main Operator page and include a brief writeup in there covering the origin of the concept, its influence on MH, and toss in a disclaimer that the MH guys have their own interpretation of the myth - hence their use of the term "Operator" - and that no Slendy-related material that doesn't originate within Marble Hornets itself should be taken as shedding any light on Marble Hornets because the creators aren't bound to sticking to someone else's canon.

At the moment the Slender Man page seems to be almost entirely devoted to two things:
- References to non-MH sources like the Victor Surge pics and Just Another Fool, which should be purged from the wiki entirely because they're not about Marble Hornets.
- Redundant information such as a list of sightings of Slendy in MH, which should really be on the Operator page.


I'd be perfectly willing to take care of this if you guys think it'd be worthwhile. I really don't see why we have two pages for this stuff. Also, if you know of a way to change/add links to the sidebar, I'd love your help with that. For some reason, I can only add new pages, but not add/delete existing pages. Is this something we just don't have access to?
