Many apologies for the double post! I honestly hate doing this, but it didn't make much sense to tack this into my last post, so there you go.

I've made a few updates to the Wiki that I thought should be mentioned.

The Operator and Slender Man pages have been updated to more accurately reflect the information relevant to Marble Hornets. The Slender Man article now refers only to the mythos of Slender Man and has references to other articles on the Wiki that are relevant.

The Operator article contains MH-specific mythology as well as all appearances in the series. Also, the data was split into more succinct categories for easier reading and a bit of editing was done (made pronouns referring to The Operator 'it' since there's no certainty that it is a 'he', replaced ampersands with the word 'and', etc.). Table of contents added to each page.

Slight modifications were made to clean up the Just Another Fool article, including moving the 'Appearances' from the Slender Man page into the article and reformatting the hierarchies to better suit a Table of Contents.

Some major updates were made to the articles for Brian, Tim, and Seth, and a new page was created for Sarah since none existed previously. New pictures were put onto each page, and data on each page was split into categories for easier reading and searching. Table of contents added to each of these pages.

I also fixed up the Cast section on the Marble Hornets article as well since it's pretty clear that Seth, Jay, and Alex were all involved in working the camera at one point or another during shooting and that Jay was (although a bit sarcastically so) referred to as an assistant in the entries.

So yeah! Hopefully this all 'meshes' well and it suitable for the wiki! ^_^''


EDIT: Oh, so totally forgot to put up the screen caps I took!

They're up now - several images on the Operator thread and one (from DavFlamerock) for the Slender Man page. I also threw up an image on the page for 'The Mask' since it was kind of... bare.

redherring, I love you so much right now. All my editing lately has been trying to get the Entries really comprehensively up-to-date with theories and stuff, and it is SO NICE to see someone working on the other parts of the wiki. You've done a lovely job with the character pages, and an excellent job splitting up the Operator and Slender Man pages.

Is there anything in particular that you're planning on tackling next?

Another suggestion of mine from the other thread: isn't it time all the Just Another Fool material was purged from the wiki? It might have made sense to have it on there when the only slendyblogs/vlogs out there were MH and JAF, but at this point it's just going to cause confusion. There's no good reason to include *so much* detail of a non-MH story on the MH wiki, not when there's so many other venues to post information about other Slender Man mythos tales.

It's especially silly because I can name about a dozen side stories which are more significant on the scene than JAF was without really even straining. Why is JAF so special that it needs to clutter up the wiki and make people think it's part of MH canon?

Repeating what I said in that other thread, only admins have deleting power (I tried). Send that particular suggestion straight to Dav, he'll be able to do something about it!

redherring, a #16 transcript sounds rad! But I mean, if you had time aside from or after that, compiling theories from the forum about various characters would be really helpful. Compiling theories is the most durn time-consuming part of the pages, but it's reallllly nice to have them!

Hey, JKat, I've noticed that you have been adding Observations and Theories sections to every entry page on the wiki. But why? They already have Speculation & Analysis sections. What's the difference? How is an Observation really different than an Analysis, or a Theory really different than a Speculation? Not to knock your work, but it just seems superfluous to me, & it could easily lead to confusion as to where to put something.

I recently signed up so I could add a picture of Jessica, but it said only members of this site, site administrators and selected mods can edit it?

Hi. I'm new here and am interested in helping add to the wiki. I already got access from DevFlamerock to edit.

I wanted to get permission before attempting some changes.

I think it would be nice to standardize the way video transcripts are written. For the first 11 entries they are written the same way, a short summary followed by a more detailed version that includes the exact times of quotes and events in the video. However, later entries have transcripts written in different styles and formats. If it is okay with everyone, I think we should work to write/reformat the other video transcripts to look like entries 1-11.

Also, I find the difference between the "Observations and Theories" and "Speculation and Analysis" section on the video pages unclear. Could anyone explain what should be put in each section? Could they just be combined into one section?

Thanks
