No, the editor works within the browser - in a manner like the post reply applications that you use to post your question. Though, the editor icons, the syntax for links and general interface, will appear unfamiliar at first.

EDIT: Unless you specifically see a link on the Main Page for adding new pages you may not have rights (right now) to add new pages?

Ok I don't see anything like that (new page) so I guess I don't the right so how do I get that? Dynasty said it showed up after he searched for tatum but it isn't on that page either. I have a lot of info on jim Parker and no place to put it.

Do a search for Jim Parker. When it doesn't find a page, it will ask you if you'd like to create one. If you indicate that you would by clicking through on the link, you'll be taken directly to an editor. Once you hit submit on whatever you post there, there will be a Jim Parker page going forward, which you can edit with the 'Edit' link at the top when you visit it.

On another note -- "bee-pee-wee-kee" is just fun to say, even if that's abusing "wiki".

Thanks That is what I did but there is nothing that comes up asking to creat a page. However i stole sushi's link and changed the name to Jim_Parker and an edit page comes up and all I have to do to create a page is insert data .TADA hope you don't mind If I stole that Sushi I also found out just now that if you click on the "go" instead of search it does do what you say will happen so now I have two ways to create a page

A lot of wiki work involves copying and pasting from other pages. I don't mind at all. In fact, I encourage it. :)

Some names for people who haven't taken on a Buckeye yet.

Chad Cacchio
Shaun Gayle
LeCharles Bentley
Dee Miller
Courtland Bullard
Earl Bruce
Tom Skladany
Mike Lanese
Matt LaVrar
Greg Frey
Tim Anderson (the DT or CB) <-- how are we going to handle same names?
Tim and/or Dustin Fox
Rex Kern
Joe Germaine
Van Ness DeCree
Mark Debevec

I'm just grabbing a strange cross-section of players to make a point. ALL Buckeyes get in and get time. You can almost look at all of this as a way to give something back to them.

To add to Clarity's list, this page has a list of pages/subjects that have been linked to but do not yet exist.

Ooo, that page is about to explode now that I'm working on all-time jersey numbers.

If someone wants to follow behind me (I'm working on 2 now, and will keep going through 99) and enter positions, I'll, ah, I'll applaud you for contributing to beepeeweekee.

2) What is the policy on reusing Wikipedia biographies? Can we use an existing profile, and add to it? Or are we looking for unique writeups that are also concise?

I missed the example pages when asking this. I like the concise bios, with attached links to the full wikipedia biographies.

> If there is not a wikipedia entry for a person (ie Grant Schwartz), should we create one on wikipedia.org and then link to it?

- That would allow more in-depth profiling without hogging the bpWiki profiles.

Honestly, I don't know how excited Wikipedia.org would be about full blown entries for folks like David Purdy and Obie Stillwell. Maybe I'm misunderstanding though?

I found out that I could create a new page by simply changing the name in my home page url.
for example
Sushi's url.. http://www.buckeyeplanet.com/wiki/in.../Joe_Bauserman.
I opened this up and just switched the names and entered and it came up with a new url and page ready for editing.
http://www.buckeyeplanet.com/wiki/index.php/Jim_Parker
and to create other pages and even templates all we have to do is change the url. as
http://www.buckeyeplanet.com/wiki/index.php/Jim_Parker/history
yes that works .
another page..
http://www.buckeyeplanet.com/wiki/index.php/Jim_Parker/Ohiostate

No you followed me correctly. It seems their pages are filled with trivial pages already, so I don't see the harm in a few more pebbles added to the grand canyon of info. Could you explain why they (might) wish we didn't add profiles on trivial players?

Otherwise, it seems like a great way to bolster their index, have room for our gathered data, and keep bpWiki more concise.
