[edit] Not a game guide
Hi Yunzhong, thanks for helping to fill out wikipedia's StarCraft coverage. Just some advice: remember wikipedia is NOT a "how-to" guide for video games or anything else. Also you might want take a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tacluchnatagamuntoron. Kappa 14:21, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- Wow did I do something wrong? Is what I have spent all my time on not wanted in Wikipedia? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Please tell me if there is any hope of saving my pages... I'm really nervous now...

Hello Kappa,
I recently received notice from you on not making StarCraft into a game guide. Does that mean I should quit my project and roam elsewhere on WP for something to do? So far the few people who looked at my article have said that it's good, and now I'm getting nervous. I have done way too much to get all of my articles, my template and even a buddy's StarCraft images deleted, and yet I still think that there is much more for me to do- too much for me to quit now. Am I going in the wrong direction? If I am, I am willing to modify the articles to reflect the wishes of the WP community.
I hope to get a reply soon...

- I can see you are making good articles, and I would hate to see them deleted. The fact that they are well-written makes them less likely to be nominated, although some of them do contain statements that look more like advice than explanations. Note that separate items often end up merged into lists (e.g. Minor Slytherins), it might be wise to do this pre-emptively. Also if you do want to make a game guide, you might want to look at wikicities or somewhere - wikibooks used to do games, but I heard that Jimbo doesn't approve. Kappa 14:58, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi! I'm on the SC "project", too. I think we should keep the game part relatively brief, but alive. --Chodorkovskiy 17:36, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- I don't want to depress you, but I just found Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RuneScape skills which might be of interest. Kappa 01:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Traswikify: WikiBooks StarCraft
As a result of the recent message, I decided to check out WikiBooks. There I realized that we could incorporate the basic material in the StarCraft Wikibook into our articles. Better yet, move most of the StarCraft articles on Wikipedia to Wikibooks, leaving only the StarCraft main page on Wikipedia and adding a big link to the articles on Wikibooks. That way all of the StarCraft pages will be unified, with a Table of Contents to connect all of the related artices. I am sure that it will make for easy editing. Got any ideas? --Yunzhong Hou 14:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikibooks
Hello and welcome to Wikibooks! I hope you will enjoy work at Wikibooks.
Thanks for contributing to Starcraft wikibook, but one tip for you. We use special naming convention at Wikibooks - every page has book and chapter names in its name. You should remember about it when you make links. Do not link like [[Protoss]], rather use [[Starcraft:Protoss|]] (note pipe | character). --User:Derbeth talk 16:48, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RE:We Meet Again...
Hi! Actually, I'm not really into Wikibooks. You see, I left the StarCraft "project" on Wikipedia when I discovered it went directly against policy. After learning those articles survived the deletion debate, I was even considering coming back and deleting all the game hints myself. Maybe I will give you a hand cleaning up SC articles on Wikipedia, though.
I'm not that far into StarCraft: I'm a below-average Toss player with a record of 0/16 on PGTour. At least I know The Big Five...--Chodorkovskiy (talk) 05:44, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Project Completed: "Medal of Honor"
Today I celebrate the completion of the first chapter of my novel (and currently a short story), 'Medal of Honor'. It's about manipulation of thoughts and emotions and can be reached at www.starcraft.org section of Fiction, subsection of Short Stories beginning June 8, 2006. Please read it and provide me with comments. Thank you for your time and effort. --Yunzhong Hou.
[edit] User:Yunzhong Hou
Hello, Yunzhong Hou. I'm Chinese too, so I guess we share the we both like StarCraft, although I stopped playing it like, uh, 6 months ago. I'm right now trying to infobox every StarCraft unit article and complete all of them.
However, I'm not sure if the story on your userpage is allowed by Wikipedia. I mean, I'm an avid reader AND a StarCraft advocate, but, we have to stick to the rules at Wikipedia. Let's discuss it.

[edit] Sorry for the move, but...
In Wikibooks, I gave you the message:
Hello, we have a naming convention here in Wikibooks. Basically, we do "Future/Prologue" and not "Future:Prologue". I have taken the liberty to correct your page, but please follow naming conventions in the future. Good luck with your project. --Dragontamer 04:24, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
