Hiya Ech, I whipped up a nice disclamer using Wikipedia's one. Seems nice, let me know what you think (and sorry for using up space on your talk page):

- Lookgs great Tapo! I like that a lot! We'll probably need an agreement like this in the future... --Echelon 19:38, 7 January 2006 (PST)
Hey Ech. I made a few changes after you went to bed.
On the Main Page I lifted up the categories a bit and seperated out the main welcome message from the mission statement.
I added a little more to the Help:Contents page that should enable more people to get up and running if they're unfamiliar with wikis. I also created a sandbox for people to mess around in.
I created a quick index and linked to it from the main page, below the system categories.
Let me know what ya think. --Doozer 00:25, 7 January 2006 (PST)
- Very, very nice work, Doozer! I'm especially happy with the Help:Contents! Everything on the front page looks much nicer, too! Great job! --Echelon 11:49, 7 January 2006 (PST)
GNU License and copying from Wikibooks
I have uploaded the GNU Free Documentation License to Strategy Wiki - it needs to be closed to editing. I was also wondering about the disclaimer at the bottom of the Main Page, I have been moving a Wikibook (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) and all of it's content is freely distributed as long as it's linked to original, mentions FDL, etc. - all of which are adhered to on the first page. Is this okay or should I stop moving pages? There doesn't seem to be any legal issue or is there another reason? Jackhynes 09:23, 11 January 2006 (PST)
- I think we will be fine in moving this, but I'm going to need to make a template to denote articles that came from Wikibooks. I was just pointed out to this issue last night, but I think using other GFDL content will help this wiki in its initial growing phase. --Echelon 11:44, 11 January 2006 (PST)
GamerWiki
Hi, Echelon, I just wondered if you had seen GamerWiki, another type of gaming wiki? StrategyWiki is an excellent resource, keep it going. -- Tyagi 05:25, 21 January 2006 (PST)
- Tyagi, looks nice. I suppose we'll both be growing quite a lot throughout the year. Best of luck with GamerWiki! :) --Echelon 21:54, 21 January 2006 (PST)
