Ideas and Recommendations Thread.

Personally felt that the About and CoC pages were rather vague, especially when I first joined. Had some ideas recently. I thought that we could possibly merge the About and CoC page together. In the end, it could look similar to this:

About/Coc Page

The Chaos Insurgency Visual Documentation Database is a project that contains free user submitted photos for public usage on the Chaos Insurgency Wiki. Once posted, note that all users have access to the image. Having your images online somewhere also makes them easily searchable and accessible by yourself and other authors that might be interested in using one of your images in an article on the Chaos Insurgency Wiki. Having your photos stored on the CI Visual Documents Databse is a good strategy to have multiple copies of your data in multiple locations. So, having your images online somewhere (as well as locally on your own hard drive and another backup drive) is a great way to create yet another backup source for your images. Why not give it a shot? It's easy:

Uploading an Image

1) After finding a photo that you feel that you and/or another user may find helpful in the future, head on over to the page All Images Go Here First..
2) On the bottom part of the page, there should be an option called 'Files'. Click on that, then click 'Upload a file from your computer'. You will be given two options. Choose whatever option you like, and choose the images you wish to upload.
3) Congrats. You have successfully uploaded an image innto the site's storage system. Refresh the page. The gallery module will then show your image at the top of the page.

The Staff

It's good to recognize who the authorities on the site are. That way, if you have any questions regarding problems within the site (or so you don't accidentally piss them off, you can send them a PM (Private Message). To make that easy, I've provided the following table with a detailed list of all CI-Wiki related staff.

User	Position(s)	Timezone	Activity Rate
Dr Nouva	CIVDD MA	UTC-6	INACTIVE
DrCaduceus	CI-Wiki MA, CIVDD Admin	UTC+8	HIGH
Heartful	CI-Wiki Admin	UTC-5	LOW
ToxicClay	CI-Wiki Moderator	Unknown	MEDIUM
Victor Strate	CI-Wiki Moderator	UTC-8	INACTIVE

Laws of the Land

Do not post any information or other material protected by copyright without the permission of the copyright owner (if possible). By posting material, the posting user represents that he or she owns the copyright with respect to such material or has received permission from the copyright owner (Unnecessary if the image is protected by CC-BY-SA 3.0).

I removed the about top bar button for, 1.) not having a page 2.) feeling a bit repetitive since we have a button located on the side bar for information about the site.

How do you guys feel about an artwork page? I have had a few ideas for a drawing that have been churning in my mind recently, and I know some users are really into making comics (namely Cad and his GOI Ball strips).

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

I thought we had an artwork page, or at least I was very open to the idea of one since the beginning.

Strongly advocate, though I would encourage IRL creations as much as drawings. If you decide to, since you're in charge now, you should also move existing comics to that page (namely just one from Meta (hi Meta)).

Would be cool to have an art page.
I have holden back on my comicproduction because they did not fitted here.

and

Hi Cad the more that you read the thread that comic was based on, the more that comic needed to be made.
It was the event that lead to the split between Zeta and the main Insurgency.

Somewhere in there you say it sounded like a bad cartoon which makes it just better.
(sorry for the stayl, i drew on paper than scann it in and worked the rest with mspaint)

And Cyto, if you move stuff around while im not looking, please change the links in mecha chicken(the knights of progress).
The picture i used in that article is on this side under mechanicel, but would fit into artwork better.
