I'd add it some images, but since you are working on it, please do the honors... I have already uploaded a couple of images about the Paragon Times I have found: the first is the original building, back in 1930s, and the second is Jackson Turner (currently MIA), the guy who used to write the Paragon Times' articles back when [[Gilgamesh]] was doing it. Both of these can be found in the [[Game Background Images]] section. Enjoy! =)

I'd like help with expanding on this (and whether it needs to be expanded on) - Stab594 22:06, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

o,o indeed it does! we must make it bigger! Flashier! and... with pictures!! --Sleepy Kitty 23:06, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

Can someone snag a picture of the Paragon Times header and stick it in there? Also, please help with summaries of the articles because its really hard to summarize all this stuff. - Stab594 02:21, 20 October 2007 (EDT)


=^^= might I suggest that instead of trying to break it up as it is now, a very brief synopsis of the article is used, along with a link to the article itself? --Sleepy Kitty 03:53, 20 October 2007 (EDT)

Images and some more stuff

What an excellent idea to create this article! =) I'd add it some images, but since you are working on it, please do the honors... I have already uploaded a couple of images about the Paragon Times I have found: the first is the original building, back in 1930s, and the second is Jackson Turner (currently MIA), the guy who used to write the Paragon Times' articles back when Gilgamesh was doing it. Both of these can be found in the Category:Game Background Images section. Enjoy! =)

Also, I'd add:

  • A Paragon Times heading, at the top of the article
  • A list of reporters working for the Times. Some articles mention some of them. All of them seem to be currently contacts, but let's hope we will see some of them as NPCs in some mission someday!

Hey...the Paragon Times building! Now here's a good idea for one of those customized missions, or even for a Story Arc or Task Force! =D

--Yakovlev 08:33, 20 October 2007 (EDT)

o,o just added a few here: Category:Wiki Beautification Images, I'll add more as I find them. --Sleepy Kitty 10:19, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
>< had what qualified as a crazy idea, but I forgot how to alter the color of text in a wikipage so I cant get it working properly. Was going to use the various PT page headers as section headers, but to have it work right, you have to give the bar both the image and some text to show up in the TOC... so I was going to have the text white to blend in with the background. --Sleepy Kitty 10:52, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
=^^= got it working! Mew wa haa ha haa haaa!! --Sleepy Kitty 11:02, 20 October 2007 (EDT)

41st article - Sidebar

I only included the list of perfect matches that I have found thus far... should I include other ones as well? - Stab594 15:44, 20 October 2007 (EDT)

WIP

The archival of the Paragon Times is complete (including named redirects to the numbered pages), with the exception of a number of images. But what about the main page? It's disorganized and incomplete, though I'm not sure what we should really be shooting for with it. --Fleeting Whisper 07:07, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

That was next on my list for the Times. Don't really have anything specific in mind yet. It's sort of a "work in progress in progress" at the moment.  :) --Eabrace 14:47, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
o.o;; sorry bout that.. made it back in the day and as with so many of the things I start.. I let Eabrace fix then? o,o looks like its mostly done.. metro section... not sure what was suppose to go there now.. see also needs to be added and we have a couple reporters needing to have their articles flushed out. --Sleepykitty 00:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
I didn't get too far into the sections at the bottom before I got pulled away. Adding a bit more to the writers in a few here. I don't have anything in mind yet for the Metro section. Not sure what to put in See Also just yet, but I'll add things as they come to mind. --Eabrace 00:58, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Searchability

I'd like to make a vote that the paragon times have a check box added to the advanced search page, to make their content optionally searchable. Personally, I'm looking for all the information I can dig up on Hamidon before he became a monster, and I know there's something in here, because I've read it before, but I can't remember where to find it. -LightprinceTalk 05:09, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Are you sure it was in the Times? Anyway, it's possible to do that, but I think it would require setting up a separate namespace for the Paragon Times. Not something I've personally played with, so I can't say how much effort that would take. --Eabrace 05:45, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
