Chef's Page Concerns (Mods and Admins Only)

The_Chef has recently sent Agent Green a message which was forwarded to outlining several pages which are of a sub-satisfactory standard.

Original Message
:

After having a small discussion with The_Chef, he came up with a list of propositions for editions regarding some pages upon my request, they are as follows:

Message Begins Here:

Okay, so after a couple aspirin, cigarettes and Sprites I burned through the list in a first pass and came up with this:

(I found all these just in going through the list of pages in the page selection on the left side of the screen.)

Blank pages either need to be deleted or have content added to them.

All blank pages have been sorted.

Blank pages:
"Members gear and ideas directory" - "EL2111" (Completed January 3rd 2009)
"Zombie Products" - "Zombie Practice? Preparation" (Completed January 3rd 2009)
"zombie combat school" - "what to do in a zombie outbreak!" (Completed January 3rd 2009)
"fire" (Completed January 3rd 2009)

Redundant pages need to be moved, updated or removed:

Pages that are redundant and found better presented elsewhere on the site:
"issues of the week"
"Protective clothing" (found under weapon categories)
"Zombie hunters & foragers"
"Armor For Defense Against Zombies"
"Types of Weapons"
"Hygienics and Overall Survival"
"Weapon Calibers"
"How to Attract or Distract the Enemy"
"Strategic Offense and Defense"
"How will it happen"
"Are you ready?"

The following pages need to be merged with other pages, e.g. the M-2 Heavy Machine Gun in the weapons section somewhere.

Pages that need to be moved and condensed under pre-existing headings:

"Members gear and ideas directory"
-Survival plan
-BOB

"restricted military weapons" should have turret mounted weapons and WMD moved into it
Done
"SA-80"
"M-2 Heavy Machine Gun"
"GAU-8 Avenger"
"M-242 Bushmaster auto cannon"
All moved into respective categories and individual pages deleted

"Guntrucks, Technicals, and other Modified Vehicles"
"what to put on the technical"

"military explosives"
Moved under restriced military weapons

(all above should be under restricted military weapons)

"fniff's plan"
"Tek's Plan"
"Si vis pacem, para bellum"
"Zombie Survival From my point of View"
All four have been moved


Useless pages, these either need to be removed or fixed so that they are relevent.

Contains poor content and removal recommended:

"Tree forts"
Deleted

"One of the most important things you'll need in an outbreak"
"survival gear"
"peretborough ON"
"The Human Mind, Predator Mode"
"logistics"
"P.A.R.- Post-Apocalyptic Radio" poor content
"How to share your 4th of July celebration with your Zombie Friends"
"Chatroom" (just isn't used)
"Zombie Products"


And the "New user sandbox" should be re-done containing FAQ, Rules, member roles etc. DONE 01/14/09

Let me know what you think.

Note to Mods, As you look through old prior Threads, kill the silly contented things.
Find Threads with the opener post, if no content and zero followup, nuke it also. We have 3750 threads, most of which are triple repeats of things done and said prior.
Cleaning them off, and categorizing the the rest into large open blocks of information we can use is a good short term goal.

I am currently saving the whole website (including all relevant external links) to my external HDD. I was wondering if the Admins could possibly save copies of any pages before they are deleted, then allow users to download the redundant pages.

I see that the "Tree Fort" page was deleted. I actually think that if it was managed properly, it would give a greater insight into woodland survival, or jut an extra lookout post etc. I recently got Writer status, so will be creating a new "tree-fort" page (probably added onto the defensible locations page)

Basically, I just want to make sure that any information that you get rid of, is put up for download for 1 month beforehand. thanks.

Community Members,

As in anything else, this place is what you help make of it.

I know "Zombies" as shown in fiction, movies, books, many venues do not "exist" in the Real World.

What the ZW is doing is trying to be a resource and place where the "Real" and "Zombie World" can blend, mix, and in turn help bring about a spot where we who like and enjoy the terrors of Unkle Zed can enjoy ourselves.

Cleaning clutter is not a "personal vendetta". We will be hopefully simplifying the formatting, the number of threads, and hopefully helping ZW become an attractive spot for those who wish to participate.
