Portal
It's great that you're uploading images for the Portal guide (so I presume you plan to write the chamber 11 page shortly), but I've already got stuff prepared for it which I'm just waiting to implement. Perhaps you could start on Portal/Chamber 12? If you do, could you make sure to try and keep the style and formatting consistent with previous chamber pages, and remember to show where there are cameras to destroy (just leave me a message if you're not sure how to use the template for it). Finally, could you make sure to upload new images with the naming scheme: "Portal_chambernumber_description.jpg". So for example, an overview of chamber 12 would be "Portal_12_overview.jpg", and a screenshot of the third portal you need to create in chamber 12 would be "Portal_12_portal3.jpg". Thanks for helping, and just ask if you have any questions! --DrBob 10:26, 20 October 2007 (CDT)
 * Oh, looks like I was too late! I'll see if I can merge my stuff in. Thanks for the contributions! --DrBob 10:34, 20 October 2007 (CDT)
 * What you've done is generally good; much better than what most new contributors manage. --DrBob 10:46, 20 October 2007 (CDT)
 * I don't actually have any other material ready at the moment, so start wherever you want; if you've got material ready already, then that's great! It would actually be more useful to start at chamber 19, as I presume people will more be looking for walkthroughs for such higher levels, since they're the harder ones. Anyway, just make sure you keep the layout consistent, name the images correctly, and thanks for helping out! If you plan to be doing this for a couple of hours, you might want to get onto IRC (irc.abxy.org#strategywiki) so that we can talk more fluidly about the guide. Thanks again. --DrBob (talk) 11:18, 20 October 2007 (CDT)
 * When you're uploading images, make sure to give them the right categories, and a useful description. For example:

The second portal in Portal/Chamber 19.


 * Keep up the good work (and get on IRC if you can)! :-) --DrBob (talk) 12:29, 20 October 2007 (CDT)

IRC
You have several options. The quick one is to go to http://irc.abxy.org/, choose a nickname, then join the #strategywiki channel (type "/join #strategywiki" once you're logged in). If you want to get it working with Pidgin, create a new IRC account, set the server as "irc.abxy.org", leave the password blank, enter your desired nickname as the screen name, and also as the local alias. Save and activate the account, and it should work. Now just join the #strategywiki channel by typing "/join #strategywiki" in the nickserv window which pops up. --DrBob (talk) 13:11, 20 October 2007 (CDT)
