Good job to all, we've reached the 50 articles (lol?).

If someone had the will to edit those two, it'd be really nice:
http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/Leaderboard
http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/Force_effects

We're also still missing a "Jump ability" tutorial.

None.

Notice the "Import + Credit" in the article itself.
I do not have time to import it for now... so anyone who wants to should help out.

But if we import it then we're plagiarizing, better to just rewrite it ourselves or ask the original author if we can use it.

Incorrect, as we're directly copying it without using it as a quotation of a larger article. If we only used part of it and cited it, then it'd be fine. But as we're using the exact thing, we're plagiarizing.

I believe I am right and you are wrong, but I am no lawyer... so maybe you're right.

The very last point gives you reason.

OVERWATCH STATUS GO

I just wanted to also suggest that we go back and find all the articles liking to SC2M and rewriting them so we aren't just ripping them off. I'm all for "See also" links to SC2M, but I don't like seeing articles that are just links. This also goes for the few articles that just link to videos.

I prefer having links to sc2mapster more than having nothing for these core wikis.

OVERWATCH STATUS GO

Right, but our wiki should have articles added for our wiki. If we have a bunch of pages linking to other sites, then that defeats the purpose of what we're trying to accomplish. It would be better to read the pages those articles link to and write our own explanation. And then, we can link to the external pages if need be under a "See also" section.

I personally do not have enough motivation for this kind of job.

I'll probably end up doing them myself (as well as doing text articles for our video tutorials) when I have time. I'd just really prefer that in the future we don't have articles that are only links to external sources.

I must agree with Dev wholeheartedly.

If I come across a wiki... and it looks promising, if I find one article that is like 'link to this site'... I will start using 'this site' instead - since it obviously has more information than the Wiki. But for the time-being, I guess it is better than nothing.

Ultraviolet -- :lol:

[06:51 pm]

Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.

[06:50 pm]

NudeRaider -- Vrael

Vrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies

sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city

[06:50 pm]

Vrael -- Maybe here on the StarEdit Network I could look through the Forums for some Introductions to people who care about the Topics of Dehumidifiers and Carpet Cleaning?

[06:49 pm]

Vrael -- Perhaps even here I on the StarEdit Network I could look for some Introductions.

[06:48 pm]

Vrael -- On this Topic, I could definitely use some Introductions.

[06:48 pm]

Vrael -- Perhaps that utilizes cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly cleaning products?

[06:47 pm]

Vrael -- Do you know anyone with a deep understanding of the unique characteristics of your carpets, ensuring they receive the specialized care they deserve?

[06:45 pm]

NudeRaider -- Vrael

Vrael shouted: I've also recently becoming interested in Carpet Cleaning, but I'd like to find someone with a reputation for unparalleled quality and attention to detail.

beats me, but I'd make sure to pick the epitome of excellence and nothing less.

[06:41 pm]

Vrael -- It seems like I may need Introductions to multiple companies for the Topics that I care deeply about, even as early as Today, 6:03 am.
