We aren't trying to coerce anyone, we're just sending out offers. This isn't some big ploy to unseat SC2Mapster, and this is not supposed to be a competition in any way. I seriously cannot stress that enough. Not everything has to be based on some dumb rivalry. We all get it, SC2Mapster is the best SC2 site around. That is very clear. There are a lot of great SC2 communities out there as well that are relatively small, and we're just asking if they want to take part in contributing to GWN (as we have asked you guys as well).
If The Hive decides to use SC2Mapster's wiki instead, then that's fine. I don't really have an opinion one way or another.
I looked at several articles on your wiki and most only give a single rather uninformative sentence about each data type and the various sub types. The mapster wiki at least gives details as to what each field does making it easier for people unfamiliar with data type to understand how to use it. As far as abilities, effects, actors and behaviors the mapster wiki seems to have equal if not greater content. Galaxywiki also seems to have alot of uninformative trivia such as listing pre-existing stuff that only varies by a single field eg. the weapon attachments.
As your site is new I will not condemn it but unless it makes major progress fast, I will not support a collaboration.
The funny thing about it being a Wiki is that anyone can update it and make it better. That would be the point of this. We do have some articles that lack details, but we also do have a lot of thorough articles as well. I think that mostly depends on who has written them, to be honest. The "uninformative trivia" is for reference, which is why it would be in the "Reference" category. Because it is all user-generated and more people visit to learn rather than contribute, of course our supply of articles is lacking at the moment. We are not trying to be better than SC2Mapster, and this is not supposed to be a pissing contest in any way.
We have no plans of adding the stuff from GWN to Mapster's wiki solely because we wanted to make an impartial database for everyone to contribute to. SEN had its own wiki, UDMod had its own, and SC2Mod had its own, but we all decided to merge them into one without it being labeled as one community's resource. I can't stress it enough, the point of GalaxyWiki is not to advertise a community, per se, but to just create one neutral database for everything relating to SC2 mapmaking. We do list the main communities who have created articles for the wiki, but mainly because they use it as their sole wiki. Even though I doubt SC2Mapster will join in on this, that same treatment would occur as well.

For the record, admins from each community involved have Admin access to GWN. :D
I figured you guys were fine as is, but we thought we'd make the offer anyway.

I recall seeing this prior to downloading the 1.2 patch, so this might have been added earlier.
