User:RoleOfDATS

A avid roleplayer and statistician by hobby, Role can be seen making various reference guides for games such as Golden Sun. She describes herself as 'Mildly Majorly Insane', and some would point to the fact that she had fun in the day and a half it took to make the Derived Golden Sun Experience Tables as evidence of this.

As far as her preferences for gaming go, the only known games she does not burn out on are Golden Sun and Chrono Trigger, of which she sees much more potential to be had with the former. As such, she continues to provide reference materials, while at the same time works on her own homebrew GS3, applying the storytelling skills acquired through years of roleplaying to her work. She is also an avid Rockman fan, so far owning most of the US handheld releases, and looking for console releases. She currently is working on developing a freeform RP system for use in an upcoming RP on RPoL named Rockman: For Endless Fight. Information on this and other roleplaying systems will only be posted by request.

However, after coming here and seeing the general mess that is this wiki, she has decided that she'd better help spruce the place up and make it better, so that other may not see the irritation she did when trying to find information. As such, she now ventures past the Golden Sun Wiki into this Rockman Wiki, in hopes to add some quality to the wiki.

Things I've noticed:


 * The biggest overall problem is lack of consistency and substance. Keeping with a single general format and layout will do a lot to clean up the wiki, and merging or expanding stubs should be a priority as well.
 * Grammar, spelling, and formatting seem to be an issue here. Spelling is easily fixed by using Firefox, which will catch some of your typos as you go.  In lieu of that, use a word processor to check your spelling first.  Also, reread your post before you post it, and for the love of God, preview it!  Things may not look like you thought they would, and as such, you'll need to go in and figure out what when wrong with your formatting!  A picture you thought would look good may RUIN the page, meaning you did SOMETHING wrong, and need to run in and fix it.
 * Galleries... some things have them, some things don't. WHY?  I have no clue.  Either give all characters a gallery, or none of them one.  I also think that we should have a single format for them.  I personally suggest 8 images as the in-page gallery limit (two rows of four), along with a link to a larger gallery of images.  Example:  Have the gallery on the Mega Man character page use 2 rows of 4.  Each pic should have some kind of difference - for instance, have a sprite in one, concept art in another, and various other forms in the rest.  Keep it varied.
 * Expanding on the galleries bit, important characters could have the 2x4 thing going on. Minor characters, however, having much less art, should be fine with a single row of 4.
 * Keep in mind the purpose of this wiki. It is to INFORM.  NOT to spread your personal opinion.  This isn't about what character is stronger/better than another.
 * If you don't have a reference for the info you're posting, don't post it.
 * THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE WITH TRIVIA. Last I checked, Splash Woman had nothing to do with some live action flick, and more to do with a boss design contest.  And even then, that's just speculation.
 * Perhaps it should also be mentioned that speculation in general should be kept to an absolute minimum?
 * NO. SHIPPING.  PERIOD.  Shipping is PURELY fandom, and even MENTIONING it is generally frowned upon in most cases.  I mean, come on, Roll and Forte?  Really?  I dunno WHAT fantasy you're having, but I don't really want to know about it.  If you must, keep them restricted to a fandom page.  It should NOT however, be mentioned in the trivia sections.
 * Speaking of fandom, keep it brief. We should really only have a small handful of pages at most for fandom, nothing like what we have now.  As there's already a Rockman Fandom wiki, I see no reason to have this much fandom on this wiki.
 * Remember that this is not a personal storage place for you, but rather is an informative database-of-sorts. There are TONS of places on the internet that you can host your stuff on.
