| Thanks for noticing our work! I'm the guy who actually proposed the idea for scouting these types of 'burbs. It may take some time for this to catch on, but the idea is to get them posted, even if there is no real zombie threat right now. This way people who are so inclined see what can be done, and renew them again later when these scout reports can ''really'' help. On another note, I'm glad to hear that there are people out here, active people. Some of the burb pages out this way haven't been updated in a loooonnnggg time. I'm usually way over in Penny Heights and don't hear much about Crooketon or Mornington. Anyway, if I/NecroWatch can be of help, let us know.

| Thanks for creating a few danger reports for locations, but you should make sure that they're not just going to sit unused for 6 months until someone has the inclination to change them. --{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 19:56, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

| :I just wanted to drop by and let you know I normally only provide updates from group wikipages for groups in the [[Dulston Alliance]]. Or their close allies. I can however give you tips. My first tip is, feel free to use any and all the wikicode I have used. The UD Wiki is about sharing, so I don't mind if you reuse it to revamp your own wikipage(s). My only suggestion is using a different colour scheme. Tip number two, black is a cool colour, but it's been overdone and can be overpowering. I would suggest a dark/withered brown... akin to a dying flower. Also, check out [[404: Barhah not found]] (not mine by the way, but nicely done). Your group wikipage does not have a lot of content so I would suggest comipiling it into a single page, rather than using subpages (i.e. the [[SOS Brigade]] or [[W.I.Z.A.R.D.]] are two examples of this. I hope this helps. --[[User:Mobius187|Mobius]] 15:13, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

| == re: roywood danger status ==
| |
| | |
| I reverted your edit -- because you provided no evidence that Roywood was green. A News report, ideally backed up by some Iwitnesses, would be sufficient as evidence. But without that, without even a comment made on your danger level change, I felt I had to revert it to the last status. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 05:34, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

| == Regarding Crooketon ==

| | |
| Apologies for the late reply. The [[M.S.L.F]] shouldn't have an HQ tag there, as any operation there would now be over. The group is now defunct, and replaced by The [[Red Guards of Williamsville]]. Feel free to spray over the tag if you haven't already. Many thanks for the notice. -[[User:DeAleksandr|DeAleksandr]] 16:49, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

| == Mornington "OBR sitreps" ==
| |
| | |
| I don't wanna be a jerk, but these aren't really NPOV... The reports are cool, but the fact that they're labelled OBR every one of them, it falls into the group propaganda realm... Would you consider removing that part of the reports? Every once in a while saying something like, "This sitrep brought to you by your friendly neighborhood OBR" would be ok, probably... but not every sitrep. Thanks! --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 07:59, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
| |
| :No problem Wan. I totally forgot about that. All suburb SitReps have been changed to be more NPOV friendly. ^^ --[[User:Maverick Farrant|Maverick]] 08:11, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

| == St. Lazar's Hospital ==
| |
| | |
| Just had a look at the danger report you did for St. Lazar's. You've stretched out the danger report box with what appears to be fragments of your main user page. You put in <nowiki>{{.}}</nowiki> instead of these <nowiki>[[.]]</nowiki>. The first set of brackets should only be used if you have a personal siggy. But not to worry though... I've fixed it for you :) --{{User:Dr Eddie Ashford/Sig}} 10:44, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

| == Barricade map ==
| |
| | |
| That's a really great (and ambitious idea) you have there. Are you planning on creating a page like that for each individual district, or one for the entirety of Malton?
| |
| | |
| As for the aesthetics, it seems rather large. You might want to consider resizing is a bit. Also, add a table at the bottom explaining what each color represents, and possibly some text identifying each suburb.
| |
| | |
| Again, great idea! If you need any help with this, just drop me a message and I'll see what I can do.--{{:User:Red Hawk One/sig}} 01:48, 27 September 2009 (BST)
| |
| :I'm afraid I'm not the best person to ask about resizing problems- just look at the schizophrenic squares on the map in my sandbox. Unfortunately, you're probably right about having to tweak the suburb templates to get a uniform size, but you may want to check with a few other talented users ([[User:DanceDanceRevolution|DDR]] comes to mind in this case) to see if there's an an easier alternative.--{{:User:Red Hawk One/sig}} 21:11, 28 September 2009 (BST)
| |
| ::Just noticed a slight hitch- a few (read: most) of the suburb plans aren't templated (or follow a specific formula either), which your design requires. I'll see about fixing this, but it might take a while and in the meantime you should be aware of it.--{{:User:Red Hawk One/sig}} 21:33, 28 September 2009 (BST)
| |
| | |
| | |
| Just jumping in here, at a glance there seems to be a newline sneaking into the template for each suburb map at the end, creating that vertical gap. No idea how it managed to get there, the wiki is supposed to curtail trailing whitespace...
| |
| | |
| Will have a closer look soonish. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 12:50, 8 October 2009 (BST)

| == UBP Reviews and Template, Districts ==
| |
| I'm really glad to see you're actively reviewing! I haven't been in Malton long, but the basic lack of subscription to published barricade plans is something I imagine has been cultural more than practical. That is, I can't imagine that the UBP would have been so widely published in years past if it hadn't gained some momentum. That being said, I think that for anyone new to Malton, seeing suburb pages (and their corresponding plans) which haven't been touched in 18 months is a bit discouraging... it's tough to reconcile throwing your weight behind something which appears to be dead. I'd love to help re-publish this though; I think it's a great idea and I think it'll gain traction quickly.
| |
| | |
| As for the template-- as a user, I find it far, far easier to read a BP that has the names of the buildings in each square. I especially like the plans which use the suburb-map, colored the same way that the UD game itself does, and incorporates the BP into that. Basically, it's just a lot more intuitive for identifying where I am currently standing in the BP, which makes it much less of a pain in the butt. Failing that, if the two plans can at least be on the screen in my browser at the same time, it's much easier to not have to remember "ok I'm 2 from the top, 3 from the left" and then scroll down... over and over.
| |
| | |
| Lastly, how do you feel about [[District|Districts]]? This seems like a very powerful idea to me, but I haven't seen a lot of evidence of adoption outside of the fact that the OBR and the DEM organize their command structures around districts/regions.
| |
| --[[User:JimBraidwood|JimBraidwood]] 15:56, 6 October 2009 (BST)
| |
| :Thanks! Right now I'm working on getting the <nowiki>{{UBPunreviewed}}</nowiki> template put on the respective pages for all the suburbs, reviews will start as soon as that is finished. So if you would like to help getting that template put on the corresponding pages, that would be great. As far as the templates go, everyone seems to have their own preference. I am most familiar with the UBP Template simply because it is the one most commonly used and easy to set up. As long as it is easy to distinguish the four major types of block on the barricade plan (EHB, VSB, RP, and street) I personally don't care which one a suburb chooses to use.
| |
| | |
| :I am a big supporter of people thinking in terms of districts instead of individual suburbs. I think that districts provide a good middle ground between a suburb, which is rather small, and an entire quadrant of Malton, which is obviously rather large. I also have not seen anybody else act or discuss things in relation to districts, which was honestly the impetus behind the creation of the [[OBR]]. My hope is that as the group continues to grow, the logic of thinking in terms of districts and survivor groups staying mobile will spread and cause other groups (already established or brand new) to expand their influence to work over a number of suburbs instead of just one. Right now it's still kind of hard to tell how effective it is though because (1) the Rose District is pretty low-key as far as overall survivor numbers and zombie numbers, and (2) the OBR is a rather small group. So I would like to see something larger happen in terms of a movement toward district-thinking vs. suburb-thinking, but right now I don't have much time or resources for more than merely philosophizing about the issue. --{{User:Maverick Farrant/sig}} 04:07, 7 October 2009 (BST)
