So uhm. I didn't think I'd be writing my first blog entry on TL about Liquipedia (LP). I imagined it'd be a funny oneliner, a haiku, a funny photoshop or just random nonsense about girls. Like the probloggers out there. But this still seems appropriate.
This all started out as me experimenting with my new tablet and the great program called ArtRage that came bundled with it D:
So Liquipedia eh.
"The goal of the first instance of Liquipedia was to map out the progress of a game that has captivated us for more than 10 years. It was a race for catchup, since so much time had gone by and since the metagame has reached a stunning degree of complexity.
With Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty, we'll be there right from the start: As the primary resource about Strategy, Players, and Tournaments. We will be there as it happens, and we will store it all with easy access for you. Liquipedia will be your prime source of knowledge for SC2."

It already is. Be it looking up quickly how much range Interceptors have, how many medals and when your favorite Canadian/American player won in the past year, or how many zerg players are left in the current Code S Ro16, it's all right there, a few clicks away.
While it's nifty and sometimes even feels like a given ("Why aren't the results on LP yet, I keep refreshing it!"), it's all down to the hard work of the dedicated volunteers, the cogs, or dark templars, mind you, who keep the show rolling behind the scenes.
Here's an example of what the history of Code A page looks like after/during last week's matches (gogo phil :D!)

I, for one, never thought that when I joined TL after a while of lurking, that I'd end up hanging out on the #liquipedia IRC channel, editing typos, adding references to unsourced statements, making pages for maps, etc, to fulfil my need of 'giving back to the scene'.
I've found my own niche! ('sup?) And I intend to make the most of it. And I suggest you do the same!
Be it LP, LP2, TL, TLPD (sup antoine) or whatever the fuck, FIND YOUR OWN NICHE!
(also, you can get many-a-coin (just look at me and my lowly count of edits))
oh, right
Wallpapers about LP(2) here (probably going to be reworked, especially when disciple replies, cause I've no idea if he's okay with me butchering his work like this)

disclaimer: sorry about being so LP2-biased, I started watching BW after i started with SC2 Beta (I enjoyed the fuck out of Jangbang winning OSL which was out of this world RAD)
THAT SAID
Please do contribute to LP1 - "we" are still lacking in plenty of BW History!
(disclaimer#2: i still feel weird calling myself part of the LP family but what gives, contribute or else. WE are the prime source for both BW and SC2. Everything SC.)

When you copy the link from LP or whatnot, it turns the \ & the brackets into &264824C bullshit that renders the links not working
After copying this [url=http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/TeamLiquid_StarLeague_4/Qualifiers/EU%5CNA_3_%28EU_Server%29]http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/TeamLiquid_StarLeague_4/Qualifiers/EU%5CNA_3_%28EU_Server%29[/url] just turn %5C into \, %28 into ( and %29 into ) and you get what follows below

turns into this
