From YPPedia

YPPedia is an encyclopedia, not a personal photographic website. You need to tone down the pictures by adding |100px inside the tags or even remove them as they contribute nothing to the article. A few flags have small images of their flag's flag, those flags actually are designed as flags and not just big random photos. --Guppymomma 07:20, 15 January 2006 (PST)

Tagged for cleanup, removed most images. The page wasn't even readable. Free websites available at GeoCities, which can be linked from the Yellow Pages --AtteSmythe 10:47, 16 January 2006 (PST)

For Guppymomma, these weren't "big random photos", they were pictures I created for me crew, lots of articles have pictures in them. I will make them smaller, but why delete them completely? I will put them back, but I make them smaller.Please don't make giant changes without me knowing again.Thanks.--Cloakdeath 11:48, 16 January 2006 (PST)

No crew or flag has as many pictures as you've added. You should consider having no more than one image representing your crew. If you want a place to create an image gallery, I suggest setting up your own crew and flag forums. That's what everyone else does.
Just to reinforce this, YPPedia is an encyclopedia, and you should follow that model when adding text and images. --Barrister 12:16, 16 January 2006 (PST)
Actually, I'm the one who removed the images. The text of the page wouldn't flow with them, and I felt their number and size were excessive. In short, they made the article look less like a page out of an encyclopedia and more like a crew website; "YPPedia is not a frew webspace provider". If your desire is for a space for your crew that is solely maintanied by you, I reiterate my free hosting suggestion. See, for instance, Silver Dawn's wiki page versus their flag website - each serves a different purpose. --AtteSmythe 12:19, 16 January 2006 (PST)
Just FYI, another big part of a wiki is that anyone can edit articles. If you require complete control and knowledge of what may or will happen to your page, then you definitely need to look for outside hosting. --Guppymomma 12:49, 16 January 2006 (PST)

Made minor linking tweaks, and updated info box, but didn't know where to start with cleanup. Public statement in game provides link to this page. --Fannon 20:46, 25 January 2006 (PST)

Manually reverted all the comments that were deleted by Cloakdeath. You need to go and get yourself a website mate, the wiki isn't your crew's property. --Featherfin 09:39, 30 January 2006 (PST)

This article needs to be cleaned up? Please give me a bit of an example, of how this article should be cleaned up.--Cloakdeath 11:04, 30 January 2006 (PST)

I had to make the promotion policies third person and grammatically correct, at a glance. And that was after the cleanup tag was reintroduced. I didn't read over the rest of the article, so I didn't remove the tag myself. (Old promotion section here)--AtteSmythe 11:28, 30 January 2006 (PST)

Look, it's all pretty much in third-person now. If there is anything ye specifically want me to change, just say it, keeping up a clean-up template isn't very useful right now. And the only reason I cleared the discussion page, was because the picture problem was sorted, I have nothing to hide.--Cloakdeath 11:59, 30 January 2006 (PST)

Cleanup

Propose removal of cleanup tag, given recent rework.

Support - submitter vote --AtteSmythe 16:01, 30 January 2006 (PST)

Er, please remove now if ye can. I really don't think it needs to be cleaned up, I mean, if it does, please say what needs cleaning up.--Cloakdeath 08:31, 2 February 2006 (PST)

As no one is replying, I will remove the clean-up tag, unless someone objects.

I object. I think this page needs more useful information beyond the crew uniforms and endless bullet pointed lists. I think it would be good if you fleshed it out so that it is more of an encyclopedia entry rather than an extention of your ingame flag statement. Right now, it just doesn't fit with the general crew articles on the YPPedia. --Featherfin 20:21, 4 February 2006 (PST)
Does that really apply to the cleanup tag though? My thought is that it just had to have good spelling and grammar. There's a lot of crew/flag pages that have far less info than here and aren't marked. --Thunderbird 01:44, 5 February 2006 (PST)
What you're describing is a stub tag, not a cleanup tag. Perhaps it's time to move our editorial eyes on to another pet project such as one of the famous large flags that have had major island/blockade involvement, but has either little or no article at all. --Guppymomma 08:55, 5 February 2006 (PST)

I agree. I have seen other crew articles which have a lot less info than here, and have no clean-up tag. If ye still want this to be cleaned up, give me advice on what to clean up. If ye can't, I would advise removing the clean-up tag.--Cloakdeath 03:24, 5 February 2006 (PST)
