I am sorry to be a bit of a pain here, but can I make a request about
the wiki, please.

Since this is a series by a british writer, could we stick to British
English spelling?

Hence: honour, not honor; armour, not armor; organisation, not organisation.

Sorry for being a bit of a spelling nazi.

It's worth noting that the American editions (at least, the American editions of the Kindle books) are localized. Not just in spelling, e.g. it also changes to American style quotation.

British style: Alex said, 'JFK said, "Ask not what your country can do for you."'
American style: Alex said, "JFK said, 'Ask not what your country can do for you.'"

Not saying you're wrong to suggest standardizing on British English; just pointing out that for many people they might not experience the books in the original dialect they were written in.

It suddenly struck me that there should probably be some sort of
standard, to prevent back and forth editing, and felt that this time I
could pull rank, using the fact that the were written here

Oh, those buttons are pretty. Well done somebody.

I've been trying to do battle maps and troop movements, but my art
skills aren't quite up to it at the moment :(

Does anyone know if there's some sort of campaign mapper out there
that would do that?

I'm loving the new Wiki. Good work to those involved. I hope this
wasn't an issue but added on to the Woodlouse section. Tsolshevy and
the Art, that what I fixed up. I've been tempted to join and help
more, but I'm a little tied up working on a short story. If needed I
could maybe go through all the Kinden sections and just touch up on
minor details. Would that be permissible?

@Roderick If I could help I would, but I can't guarantee that anything
I come up will be of decent quality. If you'd like me to do something
rough on MS paint, then maybe that could give a starting point to
somebody with more advanced art. [/ sighs]
