===My Nickname===
−
I'm an active member of the FreeSpace community since May 2006, though I have been around for a few months before joining. I'm a very active member on the Hard Light Production forums because they host several projects I work on(they're listed below). I'm a frequent visitor of Game Warden and a very rare visitor of Sectorgame. I'm quickly becoming a dedicated FreeSpace Wiki contributor.
+
My nickname in the FreeSpace community is Mobius. It's a nickname I use pretty much everywhere on the internet, sometimes in the longer form "Lightblue Mobius". I have been using this nickname since 2001-2002. It's a tribute to the Mobius Squadron from Ace Combat 4, though the use I make of it is some sort of "latinization".

===Brief description===

As die-hard fan of FreeSpace, my contributes are focused on the FreeSpace Universe and its multiple features. I also do a lot to add full FS Wiki support for the projects I work on, with Series Resurrecta and Inferno being the most notable examples.

====Related Links sections====

I have been making this kind of changes for a while, but I've only recently created [http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,63703.0.html a thread] about the matter. I've always thought that "Download link" sections are poor, so I came out with a new section that serves multiple purposes. I've also started adding links to ModDB profiles. An example, taken from the main [[Inferno]] article, follows.

====Total number of forces tables====
 +
I came out with this and used it to replace the old "Notable ships present" section. This new section is to provide info regarding ''all'' ships featured in a mission and not only the ones with plot-related importance. The "Casualties" section is based on the maximum number of acceptable losses on both sides, after which the campaign would progress.
 +
 
 +
The following is my first table of this kind. Please note that this may differ from the one you can find on the [[Surrender, Belisarius!]] article due to the edits of Wiki contributors. The one below is only an example of how "Total number of forces" tables work.

In the FreeSpace community is use only the nickname "Mobius", that replaced the old "LieutenantGeneralMobius". For the ones who don't know it, the 118th Mobius squadron of Ace Combat 4(equivalent of FreeSpace 2's 70th Blue Lions)is the squadron where the player, Mobius 1, is based during all the game. The logo of the squadron is a plane flying through August Ferdinand Mobius' Strip( ∞ ), symbol used in Mathematics to represent the Infinity.

New ideas

Related Links sections

I have been making this kind of changes for a while, but I've only recently created a thread about the matter. I've always thought that "Download link" sections are poor, so I came out with a new section that serves multiple purposes. I've also started adding links to ModDB profiles. An example, taken from the main Inferno article, follows.

Total number of forces tables

I came out with this and used it to replace the old "Notable ships present" section. This new section is to provide info regarding all ships featured in a mission and not only the ones with plot-related importance. The "Casualties" section is based on the maximum number of acceptable losses on both sides, after which the campaign would progress.

The following is my first table of this kind. Please note that this may differ from the one you can find on the Surrender, Belisarius! article due to the edits of Wiki contributors. The one below is only an example of how "Total number of forces" tables work.

Name Origin sections

It's no secret that that my nationality effectively boosted my interest in Greek and Roman mythology. I've also been always interested on Egyptian mythology.

Here's another idea I came out with: a partial overhaul of Name Origin sections throughout the FreeSpace Wiki. A while ago, I've also created a thread about the partial overhaul. An example of them, the Name Origin section of the GTVA Colossus article, is below.


Meaning: Colossal, large statue
Language: Latin, imported in English
Alternate spellings: Kolossos (Ancient Greek)
Used in Latin to refer to large statues, the term used nowadays in English (in lower case, as this is a common name) may refer to anything of giant sizes. Colossal is a related word.
The sixth of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World was the Colossus of Rhodes, a giant bronze statue representing the god Helios that was constructed following a very important military victory. This explains why the first mission featuring the Colossus is named "The Sixth Wonder."

Upgrading campaigns article

That's it, an article in which I write what I learn from my experience with the FreeSpace Campaign Restoration Project. I periodically edit the article to add and/or modify its contents.

I also encourage other FSCRP members to read it and contribute to its development.

Background Emporium article

I've always liked Singh's Background Emporium, but I didn't really liked how it stated dying in the past three years. I decided to create a Wiki version of the Emporium, intented to be a place where people can easily share their artwork. Useless to say that I expect the Wiki's Emporium to expand and become an effective tool. My philosophy on the matter is that it's so much easier to get a background from the Wiki than looking for missions that feature it, open them with Notepad and then copy and paste their backgrounds.
