Welcome to StrategyWiki!
Hello Cncguides! Welcome to StrategyWiki. Thank you for your contributions. If you have any questions, just contact a sysop through their talk page or post on the staff lounge, and they'd be happy to help. If you need help editing, check the StrategyWiki Guide or visit the IRC channel to chat, we're usually around. On the other hand, if you have ideas for StrategyWiki, bring them up on the forums. To keep up-to-date with the goings on of the wiki, consider adding the noticeboard to your watchlist.

Neutral point of view
Guides are open for anyone to edit, and to accomodate multiple authors we've decided to use a neutral point of view, meaning content should be written in the third person, with no opinions and a somewhat professional tone. Please keep this in mind as you're editing, and try to avoid words like "I" or "we", or use of slang or non-factual information. Thanks for helping us keep our guide pages polished! —  Pro cyon  20:21, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Text dumps
Can you please put a bit of effort into converting the guides to a proper wiki format? I would rather spend my time keeping the whole site working efficiently than having to clean up all your contributions. The wiki learning curve isn't that bad. -- Prod (Talk) 20:57, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep, comments on my talk page work. If you have any questions, do feel free to ask. Thanks! -- Prod (Talk) 21:14, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Link swapping
Hi Cncg, I saw your message to Prod, and thought I might respond to your request. On the one hand, I can certainly understand how you feel about your site, and your guide, and wanting to drive more traffic to it, but on the other hand, I foresee an opening of Pandora's box if we grant your request. If we show you some degree of favoritism, other users with their own websites will want the same privileges. Then we're in a position to grant them to some and deny others. Even with your request, we're in an uncomfortable position of saying no to you, without making you feel as though we don't appreciate the effort you put into the C&C guides on SW, because we do appreciate it. Many users (not you, per se) have had the attitude of, "Hey, I contributed something to your site, now you owe me," and that's not what contributing to StrategyWiki is about. At StrategyWiki, we've had a very long standing philosophy of being all-inclusive and not linking out to any other site other than our fellow wiki partners in NIWA. The one place where you absolutely can link back to your site is your user page, and we encourage that. The hope is that someone will look to see who authored one of your guides, and click on the link to your userpage to find out more about you. Right now you don't have anything there. Have a look at some other user pages to get an idea of what you might like to put there. That page is there to represent yourself in whatever way you would like. So please, link back to your site from there. I hope this helps.  Pro cyon  15:13, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
