The "List of quotes in Rayman Junior" article was nearly blank, but that's no longer the case. I was able to add all the dialogue lines from the game. I think the article can be taken off of the "Articles that need help" section now. :P

I've rearranged a bit how the early production and prototype articles are arranged. I basically split the Rayman 1 article into two separate ones and added a new template for early productions. I also added a bunch more info to the Rayman Legends (early production) page.

Well that looks pretty good, I guess it's more consistent with the two articles we had for early R2 development as well!

Bump.

Just a quick update on the Origins articles; all that's left now is to add information to the remaining levels after Tricky Winds. The progress has considerably slowed down, due to me being more involved studying for the finals. But by the 27th or 28th I should be able to resume completing the task.

Good news! I can also see that quite a few level templates don't have an image yet, everyone's welcome to help with that! :)

I'm still taking screenshots and adding them to the articles, so all templates should soon have images.

Bump, because it's time to make an announcement.

With the help from Carrot, the adding general information to the Rayman Origins level and world articles task is now complete! Took a few months, but the deed is now done. Carrot and me are still in the process of adding photos and adding sentences to said photos, but once that is finished, everything seems like it has been covered.

In other news, we have agreed to replace most of the PC screenshots from Rayman 1 with ones from the PS1 version. I must say, the R1 article looks better than ever with the recent work that's been done to it. :)

I think replacements should be considered individually, and only carried out if they bring value added.

Well, reasons for this course of action are that the PS1 version of R1 is of better quality and higher resolution than the PC version. Also, if you go by the topic poll and the favorite Rayman game survey, the PS1 version is more favorable with the members.

Can you be more specific about the quality?

As for the resolution, a bigger portion of the level is shown in the screen (40 px of height), but a lot of wiki pages have their layout based on the resolution of the PC version. We couldn't possibly replace them all, because some are from games never released on the PlayStation (Rayman Designer), and others look worse on it (the color palette of Rayman Junior is much smaller on PS). That means we'd most likely get a lot of messed up layouts, which is why images need to be considered one by one before we do anything.

Quality wasn't the best word choice on my part. The graphics look more vibrant and better overall than the PC version is what I was getting at with quality.

We weren't focusing on replacing every PC photo with PS1 photos, l was talking more about the R1 article itself (while keeping a few PC shots like the moskito color difference from different articles).

It hasn't been done yet, so if you don't see it adding much value to the article, then that's no problem. It was more of a suggestion that I discussed with Carrot a few days ago and he agreed on the proposal.

We weren't thinking about replacing all screenshots (and definitely not for the spin-offs), just the main ones shown on the main Rayman 1 page and possible some others ones on the level articles themselves. The aspect ratio difference isn't big, so I doubt the positioning of the images would be much of an issue. The PS1 version is also a lot more complete in terms of graphics, like the added fog effects in the Dream Forest etc. Now I'm fine either way, but I personally feel that PS1 screenshots would be better. I also believe it came out first, so in a sense it's the original version.

Well that's very subjective and shouldn't be used to make any decisions.

I'm not against replacing some images there and there, I'm just saying each case should be considered one by one. For the R1 article, for example, I don't know if it would make much of a difference. It's already using one image from the PlayStation version for Moskito, and all the rest seems to be from the PC version. I can't remember every single difference between the two but I don't think that any of the images currently on the page, if replaced with their equivalents from the PS version, would look any different, other than the increased height. Well, there's one, the first level of Band Land, but whether its PS counterpart is any better is a question I'm sure will produce a fierce reaction.

Take it from someone who created the R1 world articles: that 20% difference in height did cause a lot of mess in tables and other similar structures.

I don't think RayWiki's goal is to choose the version we like the most, but rather to showcase their diversity. If a screenshot of the fog effect is missing, by all means, please add it where appropriate, but keeping the other one allows readers to compare the two and I think it's pretty cool.

Bump.

With the Origins level articles nearly finished in the photo stage, what's the next highest priority on the RayWiki to do list as far as adding information? I'm assuming that the Legends articles need some added information and cleaning up.

Yes, the Legends articles are probably the most important ones to add information to next up since most of them don't have any info at all. I'll gladly help out with images there as well (which will go much faster since I can do it on my PS4). Also, thanks once again for all the help with the Origins articles! They look so much better now!

Okay, then that means a brand new project to work on! Just got done with the first level article. One down, about fifty-three to go.

And you're welcome on helping out with the Origins levels! I'll continue to check in to see when you add photos to the remaining levels.

Great job on RO level articles! Of course there's a lot of to about RL, but RO world articles still lack content compared to R1 world articles, for example.
