[[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 19:18, 29 March 2012 (PDT) − :::::::CW, I'll try not to reiterate too much something you're already aware of, but I am absolutely fine for there being an article for each and every noun ever mentioned: I like the idea of the broadness yet specificity of the ''Encylopedia Galactica'' approach in such an approach, and I feel that ''if'' additional information is ever found/provided for a very minor article, it's much easier to add that new information to a dedicated article than withdraw it from a larger overarching article and start on a combined page. I also feel the ''JTPs'' are somewhat different than traditional scenario books because -while they allow the player to have the game as small as they like- the supporting materials lean towards whole units being involved. − :::::::However, I recognize I'm most likely in the small minority with that viewpoint: there are good & strong arguments against my approach and there are articles written by contributors (such as yourself) showing people ''are'' willing to write good, multi-source articles on a regular basis. And I am absolutely fine with ''JTP'' battles being incorporated into a larger subject (the planetary-scale ''Battle of New Avalon'', etc.). So, I bend to consensus and acknowledge UBP will ''not'' dictate that individual articles are required. I'll leave it up to the individual teams as to what scope they want to take. − :::::::So, with that in mind, and since we both agree that we want to record each individual fact somewhere, we should work on the process of running UBP in a way that we can say, once we finish a mission (''JTP: New Avalon'' in this case), "all the data has been mined". I think, for the RW, the method is clear: read the fact and add it to the appropriate article. But as a second pair of eyes is needed to ensure everything has been done (and trust me, I missed some doozies in my first run thru ''JTP: Luthien''), how do we best employ the FC? (When we identify that method, then the copy editor will not be hard to manage.) − :::::::I'm thinking the bullet approach might be the best way and as the RW writes his articles/additions, the FC checks off the facts as they are added.--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 07:59, 30 March 2012 (PDT) == Sourbug == == Sourbug ==
