Thank you Dale and Bjarne for stepping up. Dale is doing the Yugslav forces and Bjarne is still choosing. I am sure you both of you will make excellent writeups.

Dale and Bjarne has stepped up for Yugoslavia and Ireland (later perhaps the UK) and they are both very welcome additions! Right now it would be great to have someone who would volonteer for doing France, Japan and the different ART of all the countries!

There are two new HQs without writeups: Tito and Zola. These are the partisan HQs. If someone is interested, we have plenty of examples (57) of HQ writeups done by Grayshaft.

I can do Tito, its covered by the stuff I'm looking at at the mo As for Zola who was he? The only one I know scored one of the finest goals in the league against my team [:(]

composer99 -> RE: Unit Descriptions: Air, Naval, Land (8/23/2007 5:21:32 PM)
The choice of Zoya strikes me as slightly odd; I recall reading about her and I believe she died in early '42. I guess it's a symbolic choice to some extent.

you guys want me to do her as well ? I've taken a quick look at the other HQs well Mark Clarks anyway (some one was kind there) is there an upper limit on the amount of data to send in?

Nope not really but we are not aiming on writing a book about each subject! [:)] Thanks for stepping up Dale! On another note I just recieved the finished chinese (except ART) from Wosung. Both Communist and Nationalist! Huzzah! [:)]

[Since she has been dead lo these many years, I assume you did not mean the other meaning of "do her".][:D]

SPerdomo is welcome to the fold, he will be taking over the responsibility of the Nationalist Spanish Army. Bienvenido! The Chinese are now all formatted and they are very interesting reads. I will post a taste of Wosungs skills soon.

I will mark you down for them right now. And yes you can get a pretty good idea of what we are after from looking through this thread for examples. I am not sure what you mean with criteria of the units in WIF. Can you clarify? When you are done you can just PM me the writeup and I will format it for you. If you want to do more after the first I will give you some pointers in regards to the formatting. - Capitan

Ok lets have a think on what to write on the supply units. I have been looking around the web and my books for something but so far nothing that could be used at all. So I am thinking something short and general like: "This counter simulates the strategic decisions in regards to supply and direction that the military leaders of Major Power might take ." Any other better ideas?

How could I help you in this huge task?

jesperpehrson -> RE: Unit Descriptions: Air, Naval, Land (8/28/2007 11:03:24 PM)
Heya Grisouille! Your help would be much appreciated! There are a few nations that require some work (to put it mildly). If you are french-speaking, as I am guessing by the name, it would fantastic if you could take on the French Army but any help is great at this point of time. Send me a PM with your preferences and I will help you get started. For a list of available countries scroll up a bit and you will find an up-to-date list. - Capitan

Jimm -> RE: Unit Descriptions: Air, Naval, Land (8/31/2007 1:19:54 AM)
With our growing archive of unit writeups, has any thought been given to crediting sources at all? With the Ialians I've been pretty careful to construct original text or (at the very least) paraphrase- and unless completely unavoidable construct writups from more than one source as I certainly would not be comfortable with the idea of any accusations of plagiarism. I'm not proposing to create detailed referenced historical texts, but a general list of credited resources might be a good idea to acknowledge some of the sites & publications out there as a measure of courtesy and academic good practice? just a thought.

If you guys put together a bibliography, I'll include it somewhere. But let me say yet again, please, no plagarism for the unit writeups.

jesperpehrson -> RE: Unit Descriptions: Air, Naval, Land (8/31/2007 7:08:51 AM)
Jimm, the thought has crossed my mind and it would good academic pratice for sure. Unfortunatly I am not sure how well organized we have been in documenting our sources for all of the near 500 writeups (yes 500!! Adam just sent in a big chunk of Americans for us). It is also not what we are doing really, our goal is to create original interesting pieces of information that can raise enough interest for the reader so that he himself can delve further into the issue, if he so choses.

Greyshaft -> Bibliographies (8/31/2007 7:28:59 AM)
We did discuss bibliographies at the start of this project. The difficulty is that when you write lots of little 2-3 paragraph snippets of information (over 600 in my case for the air units and Generals plus a couple of thousand more for capitan's team) and you use the internet as one of your primary sources then you will wind up with a bibliography longer than the manual. What I have done is complile a list of a half dozen of the most useful internet sites as a starting point for any player who wants to read further about air units. Steve's point about plagarism is extremely important. Every word you write must be your own and preferably using information sourced and checked from multiple locations.
