Forum:Wasteland Survival Guide Wikia

All right, I'm developing the Wasteland Survival Guide, and I put it as a wiki, so if anyone would like to assist me in tackling this project, it would be most appreciated. It's at fallouting.wikia.com Sombar1 13:55, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

I am afraid to say that in my opinion this exacrly the sort of thing that should not be made into a wiki. Each game in the fallout series has a forum on THIS website, and a quick search of these mediums would yield all of the information that you could possibly put in your wiki. And if the topic is not on the discussion forums then all of the vault's contributors will go out of their way to help you. Another reason why I feel that this wiki will not work is that it tries to tackle a number of topics from a number of games. Therefore the quality and consistency of the articles will suffer greatly. For instance the article about surviving raiders is completely subjective: you reccomend using an assault rifle, but what if I am using a melee ony build? What use is that article to me? For those reasons I feel that this wiki is an ill conveived idea which will only benefit new players who have not developped their own tactics and are not experimenting with different builds. Please do not consider this to be an affront to you personally, or an effort to start a flame war, I simply feel that there are issues that need to be addressed before a huge project such as this can be undertaken. Please feel free to respond as you wish to this, but as I said above, please do not take any offense at my comments. Grammarlad 09:45, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

I take no offence, and yes, I understand that all of the information is here on the Vault, however, this wiki is meant to be an anthology of interest, meaning that certain topics or articles or advice that can't find itself onto this wiki besides using the forums can be placed in he anthology. It isn't meant to be beneficial to anyone, and it isn't meant to help anyone. It is meant to be a compilation of a collective group who have certain things to say and don't want them ignored on the Vault. Sombar1 Thank you for clearing that up for me. I wish you the best of luck and I will contribute as best I can to the Survival Guide Wiki. Grammarlad

Thank you sir. I look forward to working with you. Sombar1 15:15, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Quite an undertaking. I just read the chapter on Raiders and the writing style reminded me of how Moira Brown talked. It gave me the feeling like I was reading her book. I hope when the project gets farther along you will organize the home page as a contents page listing chapters and maybe have a foreword by Moira herself thanking the vault dweller for their help.

Yes, but I don't want it to be a stand alone project. I want involvement from other people as well, so certain topics that some haven't even considered can be implemented. It actually doesn't have to be entirely Fallouty. I wrote an article on water that applies to the real world. It is a Fallout/General Post-Apocalyptic Survival wiki, but mostly Fallout. Sombar1

The Wasteland Survival Guide needs you! We are small and growing, and thus at this point in time, more than ever, we need contributors to help with the creation of articles and discussion to have the community expand. Being small, every member is valid and will be heard and respected, and every article will be greatly appreciated. We have goals and opportunities here, and changes there will be more recognized than anywhere else at any given time! Please, help us move the people forward to a brighter wasteland with the Guide! fallouting.wikia.com Sombar1 20:26, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
