I noticed your edits on the X-Plane/Sounds in X Plane page. For the moment, I have only done minor modifications to the page. However, it is in need of some cleanup. The main pages of the guide are only for information about the game itself, not for extra information like author contacts. By looking at the history page (linked at the top of every page), it shows exactly who has edited the page, for the sake of attribution. For your contact info, you can use your user page and list any details there. I noticed you mentioned a website on the sounds page. If it is a notable community relevant to the game (the more I see about it the less it seems like a game...) then add an External links section to the main page for the game. As for copyrights, it's all released under the GFDL, meaning anyone can take the info, change it and do whatever they want with it, as long as they give a list of previous authors, and release it under the GFDL again (kinda simplified, but that's the main idea).
Anywayz, if you could please clean up the page (remove all non-content information or move it to the talk page it would be great. If you are curious about anything else, feel free to leave me a message. -- Prod (Talk) 18:09, 4 January 2007 (CST)
StrategyWiki is supposed to be a PC/Video game guide website. This book was on wikibooks: initially, but it got moved here because I think someone saw the comparison to MS Flight Sim to mean this is a game. After reading a bit about it, it seems more like a program for engineers or something. Personally, I think wikibooks is probably the best place for this, and there should be a way to get it back there. For the moment, I think you can still edit the page page here, but it may move back to wikibooks (or a more suitable wiki if you know of one).
If this stays between here and wikibooks, you will need to learn a bit of wikimarkup. When leaving messages on talk pages, you should sign your comments using the code ~~~~ (It automatically turns into your username and the date). To make new headings on regular pages, use ==Heading name==. Finally, from the History page linked at the top of each page, you can see exactly what changes were made by who. For example this shows what changes I made (click on the last links). The rest you can learn from the help pages on WP:Help:Editing -- Prod (Talk) 10:44, 5 January 2007 (CST)
No problem. I'll tell you as soon as something is decided. -- Prod (Talk) 22:13, 5 January 2007 (CST)
I think it's fine for the X-Plane guide to stay here. If you find another compatible wiki in the future, you can always move it later. -- Prod (Talk) 15:01, 26 January 2007 (CST)
