Just a warning to members that if you haven't already played GOW2 the Wiki may already contain some spoilers. There are plenty of GOW1 related pages if you are worried about this, or just generally try to be cautious.

As with our other contests, all games are BRAND NEW sealed in their plastic shrink wrap.

Unity: this is far from true. You run the risk of spoilers if you have not played either game, but if you want to contribute there is PLENTY to do.

For someone who does not know the game:

Achievements

The Achievements page does not contain any of the icons for the Achievements.

http://gearsofwar.neoseeker.com/wiki/Gears_of_War_Achievements

There are literally 50+ images to upload in there alone.

Missing Maps

The Maps page doesn't have overhead or map like images for all maps.

http://gearsofwar.neoseeker.com/wiki/Maps


It also has tons of text which is not linked to any pages.

Link to more pages from main page

There are many pages that could be added to the main page, perhaps organized to help people find which ones need more work.

http://gearsofwar.neoseeker.com/wiki/Main_Page

Images!

Many of the pages lack images. Many of the character pages only have an image cropped from a drawing, there are no ingame pics of almost all the characters.

Organisation

Many of the pages are just a dash of text. Using simple tags like bolding, splitting out info, and sorting it to look nice will greatly improve how the site looks. Even a short page like this one:

http://gta.neoseeker.com/wiki/The_Fastest_Boat

can look very clean and organized if done properly.

Link back and forward between pages

http://disgaea.neoseeker.com/wiki/Axes_(Disgaea_2)

Notice how the team behind the Disgaea Wiki are interlinking pages, someone could do that. There's a LOT of organising that can be done.

For someone who knows the game

Take this page for example:

http://gearsofwar.neoseeker.com/wiki/Hammer_of_Dawn

It is missing:

• An image of the weapon
• screenshots of the weapon in use (I can think of 3 totally distinct phases that could be captured in 3 screenshots)
• Perhaps descriptions of where it is found/used.

Bottom line: There is TONS that can be done on the Wiki

The bottom line is if you approach the whole wiki contests thinking there is nothing to contribute you are almost certainly wrong. Use your imagination, look at the other pages people are making on OTHER wikis (I suggest you look at Disgaea, GTA, PES for example) and see what kinds of things they HAVE done and that have NOT been done to Gears of War, Call of Duty, and Bond.

If you know about Gears of War 1 you can easily win a copy. We have 2 copies to give away and only 4-5 people are participating. With any serious attempt your chance is rather good IMO and I can assure you the right effort gives you a 100% chance to win. Very few other contest aside from these NeoWiki ones have these odds simply because everyone assumes they cannot win, and few other contest puts your chances of winning directly under your own control.

Take a look at this page to see your competition.
