	*OMG I totally forgot about that. I finished the book but I've been extremely busy lately. I'll get started on it tomorrow. If you want to help I was going to split each chapter into a different paragraph. I can't now because I have to study for midterms. I am going to try and do some tomorrow.

			== Uploading images ==

			# The first thing you'll need to do is to save the images to your hard drive, a disk, or somewhere that you can retrieve them. Make sure they are saved with a .jpg extension, as that's preferable. (Of course, you'll also want to make sure that they are [[help:standard size\|standard size]] and don't have watermarks, but those are minor things that others can take care of for you if you don't know how.)
			# Next, you'll want to use the [[special:upload\|upload]] form. A link is always in the toolbox on the left, or on most computers you can press ALT + SHIFT + U.
			# Click where it says "Browse", and choose the location where you saved your images.
			# In the summary box, type a description (with links), and include the source and categories. If it's a screenshot, you can just add something like <nowiki>{{image-screenshot\|Ink=t\|Samuel=t\|power=t}}</nowiki> and that will add the source and the categories for you. But again, if you have a hard time figuring that out, don't worry--somebody else can take care of it for you. The most important thing is to get the images on the wiki.
			# Click "Upload file" and you're done!
			Let me know if you need any help, or if you get stuck along the way. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 23:16, 29 September 2009 (EDT)

	*This might seem like a stupid idea but I'll present it anyway. I thought maybe that each section: characters, powers, production, fan creations etc. Each section could have one or two or however many needed be in charge of updating each page. Obviously one peron updating all characters would not work. It didn't work well for the Articles of Confederation either. So maybe we could have four or five people helping out more with updating characters, maybe two people updating powers. You get what I'm saying, right? And I don't mean AT ALL, not at all any person gets a sysop rank. That is totally not what I mean. But I think this idea, if you like it could really help get rid of stubs. Then if new web surfers stumble upon this site they won't see stubs all over the main characters. If it is something like [[Nissica]], it isn't that big of a deal but Season One summaries I think should really be updated. The examples I used aren't really the exact ones I'm' proposing but something similar to that. See ya later!

	**Thanks for the suggestion, Jason, and no, it's not at all a stupid idea. I've actually thought the same thing. :) It's awesome that you're thinking of ways to improve the wiki, not only for yourself, but for new users and casual browsers. I really appreciate that you're also suggesting ways in which we can organize ourselves better. However, I have a few concerns with delegating certain types of articles to people which I'll share with you. We all have different styles of editing, and I'd hate to see all the fan creations, for instance, written in a particular style, and not edited by others. Also, I know that when I'm doing a bunch of character summaries, I tend to get really bored--I enjoy the fact that on any given day I might write a few summaries, create a new article about a place, add a theory about Uluru, update some portals, and top off the day by linking to a reference. I enjoy that I can edit any article I want. I also like that with a wiki, everybody has equal say in what happens. It doesn't matter if I'm a sysop, you're a long-time user, or somebody else is brand new, we all can edit and we all have an equal say in how the wiki shapes up. That said, a lot of us here tend to have "pet" articles we like to update. I'm a big fan of getting to character and actor portals. I know [[User:Ted C\|Ted C]] really enjoys tweaking powers pages until they're just right. Some people take great pride in starting pages about locations, and others are really great at new character pages. But I'm afraid of "assigning" types of pages to different people, if I'm understanding what it is you're suggesting. I say, if there are a lot of [[Category:stubs\|stubs]] and they're really bugging you, feel free to knock a few out. I hope that answers your question. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:19, 9 October 2007 (EDT)		**Thanks for the suggestion, Jason, and no, it's not at all a stupid idea.

			*Jason, just a quick reminder that if you put four tildes (which look like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) at the end of a post on the talk pages, then you don't have to type your name each time. It also inserts the date, which is really handy. If you have a javascript, you can also just push the [[:Image:Signature.JPG\|signature button]] which does the same thing.

	Have you started on the summary, Jason? I just finished reading the book last night and am considering adding the summary to my todo list.

	*OMG I totally forgot about that. I finished the book but I've been extremely busy lately. I'll get started on it tomorrow. If you want to help I was going to split each chapter into a different paragraph. I can't now because I have to study for midterms. I am going to try and do some tomorrow.

	*This might seem like a stupid idea but I'll present it anyway. I thought maybe that each section: characters, powers, production, fan creations etc. Each section could have one or two or however many needed be in charge of updating each page. Obviously one peron updating all characters would not work. It didn't work well for the Articles of Confederation either. So maybe we could have four or five people helping out more with updating characters, maybe two people updating powers. You get what I'm saying, right? And I don't mean AT ALL, not at all any person gets a sysop rank. That is totally not what I mean. But I think this idea, if you like it could really help get rid of stubs. Then if new web surfers stumble upon this site they won't see stubs all over the main characters. If it is something like [[Nissica]], it isn't that big of a deal but Season One summaries I think should really be updated. The examples I used aren't really the exact ones I'm' proposing but something similar to that. See ya later!

	**Thanks for the suggestion, Jason, and no, it's not at all a stupid idea. I've actually thought the same thing. :) It's awesome that you're thinking of ways to improve the wiki, not only for yourself, but for new users and casual browsers. I really appreciate that you're also suggesting ways in which we can organize ourselves better. However, I have a few concerns with delegating certain types of articles to people which I'll share with you. We all have different styles of editing, and I'd hate to see all the fan creations, for instance, written in a particular style, and not edited by others. Also, I know that when I'm doing a bunch of character summaries, I tend to get really bored--I enjoy the fact that on any given day I might write a few summaries, create a new article about a place, add a theory about Uluru, update some portals, and top off the day by linking to a reference. I enjoy that I can edit any article I want. I also like that with a wiki, everybody has equal say in what happens. It doesn't matter if I'm a sysop, you're a long-time user, or somebody else is brand new, we all can edit and we all have an equal say in how the wiki shapes up. That said, a lot of us here tend to have "pet" articles we like to update. I'm a big fan of getting to character and actor portals. I know [[User:Ted C\|Ted C]] really enjoys tweaking powers pages until they're just right. Some people take great pride in starting pages about locations, and others are really great at new character pages. But I'm afraid of "assigning" types of pages to different people, if I'm understanding what it is you're suggesting. I say, if there are a lot of [[Category:stubs\|stubs]] and they're really bugging you, feel free to knock a few out. I hope that answers your question. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:19, 9 October 2007 (EDT)		**Thanks for the suggestion, Jason, and no, it's not at all a stupid idea.
