EPTAnother thing that I dont like is how "formatting rules" and other similar games are in the page index. Sure its a page, but the avg visitor thats looking for info probably does not want to see that page when they are looking for sc info. Either get it out of the index and have a seperate section for it or have a seperate section for all sc info.

In Romanization, the vowel "u" indicates the "oo" sound ( T looking character in Korean alphabet). Just something to consider if you're looking to uphold the same quality and accurate standards that wiki upholds (I know you're not directly affiliated with them). Thanks for the site though, will come in handy. edit: NaDa's is correct, Reach's is incorrect as it should be Park Jeong-Seok. I know it looks ugly and I prefer writing Jung-Suk myself when referring to him, but I suppose in the end it's all up to what you want, the socially accepted romanization of their names or the proper ones. .... what? My name has an -| [ I don't have korean on this computer either ] in it and it is definitely not pronounced with an ' eo ' sound. Kang Chul Min. It is not Kang Cheol Min. | ||

I've heard that they are considering an eventual switch to the wikimedia engine, depending on what feedback they get. If you think they should switch engines, i would recommend posting that in their thread. That said, its a job for the PGT webmasters, who you can imagine stay swamped, so regardless it would take awhile even if they did decide to change it. | ||

It is not Kang Cheol Min. Pronounciation is different from spelling. AFAIK there are several types of romanization systems in use today but the prevalent one spells -| as "eo", T as "u", and -- as "eu". I don't like how "Jeong Seok" looks either, but that's the accepted way of spelling it if I'm not mistaken. edit: Revised Romanization method, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Romanization | ||

We can't romanize our language for SHIT... I'm really quite ashamed we have such a non existant grasp on english pronounciation... 아이고 인간들아~ | ||

Yeah, we should AT LEAST decide on which one to use, so it's used across the board I just recently started adding stuff there, going to try to add the records/birth dates of all the pros to start with (I recently discovered that you can find all their stats at e-sports.co.kr 8] even though I'm unsure when they update). Hopefully it can become as awesome as http://senseis.xmp.net/ (this wiki is amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazingly comprehensive, it's for Go and I love that site, there's just so much info - from go-sayings to famous go games to go players to strategy and history). | ||

Well, we could always make a new one. ^^ I could just get the guys in the graphics forum to make one with a contest if that's what's needed. What do you think? I don't know if a prettier button should be a priority right now or not. | ||

And if you get something that says like, {{include MaJaeYoon}}, then you are at a mirror entry of MaJaeYoon and should go to MaJaeYoon instead of IPXZerg to do the edits (I discovered this just today :D!). Second, guys - don't use my 'progamer accomplishments' article when you list achievments, you can use it as a base but it doesn't look professional, as it's a running text. Use the articles section and check 'OGN Starleagues history' and 'MBC Starleagues history' instead plz, and include the year of the tournament Looks way better.I'll be adding in some more stuff from ygclan's gamerdb + stats from e-sports.co.kr continuously o_O~ | ||
