Line 18: :Hi ArsenalOfAutocracy, first I want to say thank you for your contributions. I'm not sure if you're aware, but unlike say Wikipedia.org, no one on the Sarna staff is paid, yet over the years Sarna has become quite a respectable resource in the BT community, so much that even the paid CGL staff and authors use it as a resource. This puts the wiki in a position where we're required to maintain higher level of consistency in our work. If you had created the aforementioned two articles on Wikipedia, for sure they would have been immediately deleted (I can say from personal experience), and in the past Sarna has had to do that with pages created by other editors. As we are all volunteers here, and limited in number at that, there just aren't floating editors ready to jump in and fix up every article that isn't set up properly, and often times a poorly formatted/poorly written article might go unnoticed for years before getting addressed.<br> :Hi ArsenalOfAutocracy, first I want to say thank you for your contributions.

[[User:Csdavis715|Csdavis715]] ([[User talk:Csdavis715|talk]]) 02:25, 4 February 2024 (EST) − − == H-2543 == − Hello ArsenalOfAutocracy, − − I noticed that you've added an article for another new system to Sarna, which is always useful. However, because you haven't used the system template, the only way anyone browsing is going to find it is if they know the name to look for it. We have a template and infoboxes to use for system articles to help categorise system and astronomical features, and to keep all of the information in a consistent format - the help page on how to write a system article is here: [[Help:CreateSystemArticle]]. Could you update the article to use the template, please? − − Thank you. [[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 08:19, 8 April 2024 (EDT)
