CIC Ships Database: Totally Outdated.

Okay, this has to be said. The CIC has the database for all of the WC ships and fighters, but it is WAY out of date. The ship profiles from the WC3 and WC4 sections were pulled about two years ago, but have not been restored or remodeled. The WC1 and WC2 pages went through a partial overhaul a few years back when the pages were fitted with ship histories and different viewpoints of each individual craft. However, they did not do this for all individual ships. This database has been grossly neglected and I want to know why. Is there anything we can do to update it? I'm getting tired of accessing a ship page to find a picture from that lame-o movie stating, "You're looking at a page that never existed, nugget". Hmph, the real nuggets have left this database sitting idle.

There's multiple theories on that Admiral, but you can go to the WCPedia and update ship entries to your heart's content, compensating for the awful people who don't spend every second of their free time taking this site from excellent to ultra-exhaustive-complete (which is the point of said WCPedia). It's no small task, but hey, if you want to help contribute, knock yourself out.

Well besides being a douchebag, yeah there is something you can do about it. WCPedia is being worked on to replace those sections with a comprehensive database. Instead of bitching how you aren't able to just copy and paste information from there into WCPedia, why not actually perform the hard work yourself? Get the source material, look through it, get all the information for each ship and put it into WCPedia. It sounds like you want someone else to do the hard work for you. Although, considering the original work you have done on WCPedia it's probably better for all of us if you didn't since your False Armistice article is full of errors and you've yet to even attempt to clean them up while adding crap to many other entries as well that we have to go back through and remove. You were warned several times and I imagine your lifespan here will soon reach its inevitable conclusion.

The people who run the CIC have worked on a variety of projects over the years and obviously aren't able to do everything. That's why they created WCPedia to ask us to help them in creating the ultimate database. Instead of being an ungrateful douchebag, why not ask in a better way without insulting the CIC, the community and what it stands for.

Considering he didn't know there were multiple Behemoths and then asked US to provide the information instead of just reading S*S himself, I think it's better for all of us if he didn't contribute anymore.

EDIT: Account killed. I'd walk gently as well because I'd imagine soon you'll be swabbing decks here as well.
