LP: First off, give us a quick introduction of yourself.

Slugbreath: I'm 23 years old and come from Sweden. I started to play StarCraft back in around 2000. However it's only this year that I have picked it up again and truly realized what a great game it is.

LP: How did you find Teamliquid and Liquipedia?

Slugbreath: Truth to be told, I don't really remember! I think it might have been either due to a former co-worker to me or due to Tasteless mentioning Teamliquid in the GOM leagues that made me find Teamliquid. From there I found Liquipedia.

LP: Why did you decide to become active in Liquipedia? And why in the map section, specifically?

Slugbreath: I first went to Liquipedia to find out more about various progamers. Who are they and what are they known for? Especially the gamers of yesterday interested me since I have always been interested in history and I guess that StarCraft history is no exception!

Slugbreath: So I found a lot pages about progamers to be very, very empty, including pages about people I had heard a lot of talk about!

Slugbreath: So I thought that, well, I don't know too much about these people, but at least I can add links to interviews and articles about them.

Slugbreath: So I did.

Slugbreath: From there I went ahead and started the "Blizzard's Map of the Week" page, since I had stumbled upon it while searching for some other page.

Slugbreath: I didn't think that pages about individual maps were relevant enough to merit their own page on Liquipedia but when the page "Brood War no-ladder default maps" showed up, I asked in the Liquipedia IRC channel if it would be a good idea to make pages about those maps too.

Slugbreath: I think it was Mystlord (not sure though) who said that, yes, it was a good idea and should eventually be done and seing how it was something that I easily could do, I started to create individual pages for those maps.

Slugbreath: From there it has just snowballed, I guess.

Slugbreath: I like to catalog things and to have a project going on, so it suited me well to focus on maps.

Slugbreath: Also, it felt like info that should be on Liquipedia.

LP: Do you have any plans after you finish with the maps?

Slugbreath: Looking at the sheer amount of maps left to be added I doubt that I will be done any time soon!

Slugbreath: But there is always stuff to be done.

Slugbreath: I like trying to find interviews and photos of progamers and add that to their pages on Liquipedia.

Slugbreath: I also think that adding pages about what happened during various years would be of interest.

Slugbreath: So that if people ask themselves "what leagues were played in 2005 and which maps were played on?", they should easily find such info on Liquipedia.

Slugbreath: Other information could also be added about the years, like which patches were released and new rules introduced by KeSPA.

Slugbreath: You get the idea.

LP: What advice do you have for new users looking to contribute to the wiki?

Slugbreath: I think that the easiest way to start editing Liquipedia is to read the forums on Teamliquid.

Slugbreath: Interviews, articles and translations show up there all the time and very seldom does that info get used on Liquipedia.

Slugbreath: Just by going to the player page on Liquipedia and adding the interview to a player helps.

Slugbreath: One doesn't have to be A+ on ICCUP to edit Liquipedia after all.

Slugbreath: Look at me, I'm M rank!

Slugbreath: I have a Mac, and can't even get on ICCUP.

Slugbreath: To sum it up, it's very helpful and very easy to just add fact to Liquipedia.

Slugbreath: And references.

LP: And that about concludes the interview. Do you have any final thoughts?

Slugbreath: Keep on editing! We still have a lot of empty pages to fill.
