William,

Do as you please.

Review and edit current articles?

Flesh out Earhart/Noonan stubs?

Put your own research on the wiki?

Make connections with classic pages?

Digest material from those pages in relevant articles on the wiki?

It all needs doing. You get to pick what you think is fun and worthwhile.

THANKS!

Meanwhile, Marty, going over the edit history of this wiki, I had not a clue you'd done so much work here. Wow! Garman 22:01, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Photo sizes

Thanks for the kind words.

I've been using MediaWiki for ... 4 weeks to the day. I did a page or two in draft on Wikipedia (not suitable for publication, I decided) and have corrected a handful of typos over the years.

I'm willing to learn from you about the right principles for photo sizing. I'm just trying to weave the classic site and the wiki together. I don't have a style sheet.

In the case of the construction photo, the thumbnail seemed too small to me. It's really relevant to the article--I never imagined that the base was so big!

The map thumbnail, on the other hand, doesn't seem as central to the article.

Nutiran has a big picture.

Sextant box found on Nikumaroro has small pictures.

Maps of Nikumaroro has big pictures.

[[Image:Example.jpg|frame|300px|center]] seems not to work. That's why I've been using centered tables to get the effect. We're using 1.13.x.x. I saw that there was a 1.14 beta RC available. It might implement all the image handling promised in the MediaWiki support pages.
