Weather Spotter, good to see you already have scientific data on many mods. I am hoping many people will provide scientific data on a particular mod and an average/range can be given for the particular mod.

looks like we are thinking along the same lines. I had planned to set up "blank" pages for every mod with a template showing suggested sections for people to enter their data in. The blank pages will be linked to by one master page which will list all of the 66 mods (and maybe some unproven mods) I can also leave a "template" wiki page which will be the template which people can copy off if they have a new mod to introduce.

I agree with the concept of a moderator however the power of a wiki is that everyone can edit the wiki and it therefore becomes self moderating in a way. So at this stage there are no groups of users that have different privileges. But if you have the time and see someone putting in something stupid or unproven into a wiki you (or anyone) can change it as you see fit. However if we get into situations where lots of people are making crazy claims and making the wiki unmanageable we can approach the ecomodder site admins to set up moderators. I guess at this stage I personally think we should just see how things go for the moment. But I am only one person in this group (im not a site admin) just another guy so feel free to disagree and approach the ecomodder site admins to see if they can set you up as an admin. Note: I also don’t know if the wiki software has a moderator function, I haven’t yet looked into the documentation in depth.

If the group decides a moderator is a good idea, you have my vote as I don’t have lots of free time anyway.
