 * "Our cause seems hopeless." - A Vortigaunt about this wiki

Any questions? Feel free to leave a message on my talk page. I'll answer on the same talk page.

I also contribute to Wookieepedia.

Registering
Please register before adding anything. It's simple, fast and free, and it is so much easier to communicate with you that way.

Fanon and trivia
Be careful when you add fanon, pointless and irrelevant trivia and pictures you don't have a purpose for. They will be deleted.

Good articles
In my opinion, here are articles I consider to be in good condition. Writing, sourcing, spelling, images, etc. are good.


 * Gordon Freeman
 * City 17 Trainstation
 * Rail-based transportation

Things to do
If you want to help me in this task, feel free to pick an item in the list below. Don't pick one you don't quite understand, of course, and let me know when you have done something.

General fixing

 * Each alternate title at the start of an article must also be in bold
 * Source and correct every quote at the start of the article, since they are sometimes full of spelling errors
 * Make sure each infobox has the game titles in italics
 * Remove most of the military conflict pages and re-include them in the Combine War article and the related locations articles
 * Cleanup the external links in the games articles
 * "You" can only be used in the walkthroughs, all the other instances must be replace by "the player" or Gordon Freeman (or just Gordon)
 * Rewrite the City 17 article, especially the origins section. "Some fans think" is not very serious
 * Merge the Barney / Barney Calhoun articles
 * Be sure that all mods walkthroughs have been removed - concentrate on the canon material
 * Add related game names categories in all articles
 * Define a capitalization standard for the weapons and the enemies
 * Remove all unnecessary capitalization in page subtitles
 * Properly source all articles (Gordon Freeman is the only one I think is ok so far)
 * Re-read all the articles, make heavy rewrites and setup structure standards.
 * There are too many irrelevant "See also" through the wiki
 * Add the "Notes and references" to each middle-size to big articles

Names

 * Is Menta Ray the real name?
 * Check all the locations for canon and or/conjecture titles (are Dockyards Station or Underground Railroad canon or fanon names?)
 * Find the real names of the Xen flora with conj names

Pictures

 * Is the Combine war pic canon?
 * Find Image:Sandvich.jpg in the game files
 * define a width standard for the infobox pics
 * Add a pic of the zombie alien assassin
 * Add a pic of the Beta Houndeye
 * Add a pic of the Mini Strider
 * Remove MI screenshots for the weapons when it's not justified
 * Create more subject categories for the pics
 * Explain Aperture and Black Mesa names and logos
 * Add more concept art
 * Add a pic of the White Forest peak
 * Add more images to Ravenholm
 * Add inside images to Nova Prospekt
 * More Chell pictures

Articles to create or subjects to mention in existing pages

 * Teleport/teleportation is a big subject and should have its article
 * ApertureScience.com + small guide
 * Quiver/Prospero
 * Create a section for the Jalopy + a picture in the Muscle Car article
 * Train station (some stuff can be said about it, among the fact that it is seen twice in the game and that it's definitely not the only one in the city)
 * Several Xen places, such as Gonarch's Lair or the Vortigaunt Factory (conj.)
 * Vents
 * Samuel
 * Conscripts
 * Viktor Antonov
 * Chuck Jones
 * Ted Backman
 * Mention the movie The Fly in Kleiner's Lab (the style of the building and the cat reference)
 * Ted Cohrt story in Raising the Bar
 * Mention the placeholder guy in the Portal first video

Templates

 * Fix the spoiler template
 * Create a template for the Valve store links based on the steam template
 * Sort the templates categories
 * Fix the new article message
 * Create a section template for ambig canon material for Barney, among others
 * Add the DEFAULTSORT to the real-world people articles
 * Create a template for the locations
 * Add the "Imagecat" template to the weapons pages.
 * Create a template for the Mobygames links and add them to the devs and all pages
