Since its been removed all of a sudden people care, pity they didn't care enough before its removal. Yeah, funny thing about this thread is there used to be an ISD team that specifically looked after the Wiki.
For a long time there was a sticky'd thread here in GD calling for people to join the team. It had virtually no active players as volunteers to help maintain and update the Wiki.
Now it's been removed people are complaining. They could have become an ISD on the relevant team and helped all along.

It's easier to give a simple /signed then it is to actually put forth the effort to keep something you enjoy active.
It's typical but depressing.

Now I come forth to roar the mighty roar. To breath fire and bathe the unworthy in the cleansing warmth of death's embrace.
Okay enough blah -
Now my issue with the wiki going down is this
1: a lot of it needed to go, as it is outdated and worth crap 2: there are parts that need to be replaced; lore, combats sites (as I have yet to find one to replace the wiki) -- if it was up to me, I would set up a new limited wiki. This limited wiki would cover the lore, combat sites and a handful of other items. Basically what flight academy can't or won't cover. And what can't be read from ingame show info.

Just as i pointed out in original post - there's no resource at the moment, which is 1 - up to date 2 - contains EVE lore and history 3 - officially approved at the same time.
So there's nothing to replace EVElopedia in full.

Well I hope all those that are signing it (I'm not btw) are prepared to help maintain it and not just plan to use it. Otherwise nothing would ever get done.

A better petition would be from people that are actually prepared to help in its upkeep (stating that they are), you know making sure it's all up-to-date.
This petition as it stands doesn't mean a lot as the player base wouldn't have changed much since before its removal and we already know what the result was from before. |

Funny you mention that! A few months ago I tossed an application to join the ISD Mercury/YARR team and never got a reply.
So yeah, they kinda gave up on EVElopedia for some time, and the effort to improve it just wasn't there. Good riddance. |

Signed. Sad that the players care more about the lore/backstory of the game than CCP apparently does.

I did receive a reply when I applied about 2 years ago.
Unfortunately the process was similar to submitting a full API to join a Corp, but all real life related. A heap of questions that required detailed replies, phone interview...the full works.
I gave up after a few emails back and forth because the process was not very efficient.

Already used a Google cache of the EVElopedia because the 3rd party sites were insufficient.

One interesting detail: If you searches for something on google UniWiki and evlopedia where the first 2 hits. So Evelopedia was used a lot.
Second: Will CCP distribute Webspace to the player Wikis? They are saving all the money for updating the evelopedia so they should at least give free webspace to the people that will do their job |

Signed !
Evelopedia was one of the best sources of information, this is how I essentially learned everything I know about Eve. CCP says that there are other sites which contain data which was in the Evelopedia, that is not true. Excellent articles like the mineral yield in PI with all planet requirements, Project Atlas with all types of wormholes and where and from where they lead and a plethora of other information was to be found ONLY on Evelopedia.
CCP, PLEASE put Evelopedia back online ! |

Biggest gripe I have is they didn't make a replacement for the lore the day they closed evelopedia.
Seems to be lots of people assuming there wasn't any work done by those that are signing.. I've tidied up a couple sites ... it's not much.. but tbh I didn't consider myself enough of an authority to make those kinds of changes. (been with Eve Online for 10 months) Also worth mentioning that I'm an accountant, not a hacker so what would take one of you guys 5 minutes to do a simple website edit takes me like an hour..
I agree there was a bit of a lacking community on that part. Or it was hard to find.

I miss all the lore. I don't care if I was the only one reading my character's story page. At least I felt like I was part of this universe. I felt I could do some real RP. I felt like Watson writting Sherlock's adventure !
And a read only web site won't bring this back. |
