Hello StarFace,

Looking at your contributions, I found the majority of them are related to images for locations (Train Station, Cafe, etc) and one post on a members wall that I think you probably needed to post in the forum for more visibility instead of someones wall.

I would like to help you achieve your goal but need for you to tell me what that goal is. If your goal is to simply update the location image (provided they need updating), I can walk you through the process of overwriting an image with a more current version. I noticed a few images you uploaded that are already available. I can also walk you through the process of searching for an image so duplicates are avoided. These things might seem trivial but once you understand the logic behind it, the importance will become clear. Fandom (wikia owner) has a wonderful learning tool called Fandom University (http://community.wikia.com/wiki/FANDOM_University) for people that want to learn the ins and outs of the wiki. These lessons pertain to the basics of Fandom and each wiki will have their own guidelines to follow in addition, as an example: naming image files. File naming is important to keep the articles/pages as clean as possible, make them easy to follow and avoid redundancy.

Our goal is to make the wiki as simple and user friendly as possible for everyone. Feedback I have received indicates that if there are too many choices or too many pictures to absorb, it leads to confusion which could discourage further exploration.

We have a lot of work to do on this wiki and appreciate everyone who wishes to help. We also need to be mindful of their efforts and allow them to finish their "project" by not working on the same article. This becomes increasingly important at the onset of a new update. We try to get the information on the wiki as quickly as possible. Meohmy (our Bureaucrat) has always updated the articles regarding the game updates and I'm sure she has a regiment she follows to accomplish this. I have a project that pertains to the collections. As a courtesy, before I started my project, I posted a message on the forum about my desire, to get feedback from everyone as to whether or not my contribution would be receptive. There are many seasoned players of SN and I welcome their feedback because, let's face it, brainstorming is a good thing. I learn something new everyday from seasoned players and to me, they are the backbone of this information hub.

I have an idea that has been tumbling around in my brain that I think you would be perfect for since you are a programmer. If you are interested, please let me know and I will happy to share it with you. In the meantime, I will ask Meohmy which articles she works on and let you know which ones to avoid.

I look forward to talking to you. Diana
