Discuss the articles in this issue here. Although, be nice, or we may be forced to liberally splatter your comments with asterisks!

Exclusive Interview

Submissions

Submissions are probably best emailed to Epoch_Zero@Hotmail.co.uk, or you could post them here. We're looking for any breaking news, potential interviewees, budding columnists, and so on.

Shameless Self-Promotion

We love it! If you want a little section promoting your group, email us and we'll consider it. Extra credit given for humour or just beign really clever. Keep it short, add a little picture, and it might just get in. Or pretend its news and submit a whole story...

General Policy

To protect our journalists, we will never reveal the identities of our reporters, and will offer similar protection to our sources, interviewees, and columnists, should they so desire.

The Yorkman will strive to report the truth at all times, and to avoid presenting opinions and guesses as factual information.

Also, Page 3 Pirates has been scrapped. Sorry.

Article structure

I think the Yorkman would fit better in its own article, which would describe the paper and link to the current version. Issues would be located at The Yorkman/Issue 1, etc., and this user page would be left for you, the user who has actually written the paper. After all, I think user pages should be pages for users, not pages for game information that isn't user-specific.

We could easily use a template to link to the latest version (or simply include the number of the latest edition, to be linked to like [[The Yorkman/Issue {{LatestYorkmanIssue}}|this]]). After a new issue is uploaded the template could be changed just once and all pages across the wiki that linked to the latest version would be updated at the same time.

If I don't hear back from you, I'll probably move the current issue to The Yorkman/Issue 1 and create The Yorkman as a brief description of the paper with a link to the latest version.

I enjoyed issue 1, by the way. Keep it up! — Elembis (talk) 05:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
