Scope

 * Providing consistent formatting information for all pages in the Category:Something in the Sea
 * Providing Timely Updates of all pages in the Category:Something in the Sea
 * Uploading of any relevant images from the Something in the Sea Viral Website
 * Addition of relevant Something in the Sea information to pre-existing Bioshock Wiki articles

Pages Which Need To Be Made
Pages marked with (?) may not be necessary if the articles related to them are fleshed out.
 * Dorgan Cavanagh - second mate of the S.S. Nellie Bly
 * Jean Luis Roget (?)
 * ONI
 * 1) What they are (link to Wikipedia info about them in real life)
 * 2) What they have done in SITS (Inman's relation to them, their investigation of him)
 * 3) Transcripts/pictures of the confidential documents sent to Mark

Pages That Need Updating
''Some of these pages could be improved by greater depth on information already included. Others are lagging behind the Something in the Sea timeline and need updates. Questions or suggestions on what should be included? Leave a note on the Discussion tab.''


 * Characters
 * Lieutenant Commander Roscoe Inman - info about the internal investigation
 * Mark Meltzer - Needs A LOT of updated information.
 * Phil Isidore - Updated information
 * Other
 * Mark Meltzer Writings - Needs transcripts of all letters and pages of notes written by Mark
 * The International Order of the Pawns - Information about Mark's interaction with them.
 * There's Something in the Sea Chronological Timeline - needs to be updated as frequently as the main SITS page.
 * The Vanishing
 * When "The Vanishing" occurred
 * Notable people who "vanished"
 * How this relates to the building of Rapture
 * Notable people who researched the vanishing
 * Gallery of any documents related to the vanishing (newspaper clippings, articles)

Older Bioshock Pages That Need Updated SITS Information
''See a page not in the SITS category that needs SITS information? Mention it here.''
 * Andrew Ryan
 * Rapture

THINGS THAT SHOULD GO ON ALL PAGES

 * Embedded hyperlinks to other pages according to their mention in the article
 * A “See Also” section at the bottom of the page with links to any closely related pages. Each link should be appear on a separate line after a bullet.
 * If the page contains spoiler information related to the storyline of Bioshock or the solving of puzzles include a spoiler warning
 * Preferably, all pages should show at least one relevant picture.
 * Until this project is finished a Something in the Sea Content Project template should be added to the top of every page in the SITS category.

Character Pages

 * All major character pages should contain the Template:SITS Charinfobox. All known information for the character should be filled out. The exceptions to this rule would be the Big Sister and any other character who will appear in BioShock 2. For an example see the Mark Meltzer page.

Text Formatting

 * As a general rule, all recordings and phone messages should be in italics.
 * Type written letters etc. should be regular text format.
 * Handwritten letters and notes should be in italics
 * Notes left by Meltzer on the same page as a typewritten document should be in bold italics.

Header Formatting

 * All documents go under a single section heading, with individual headers for each document.
 * All phone messages go under a single section heading, with individual headers for each message.
 * Each heading should include the date the document/recording was made.
 * Within each section documents/messages should be arranged from first to last according to the date they were made.
 * Documents with more than one page should have a separate heading for each page beneath the heading of the document name.

Crazy Format
Some documents, such as Mark’s pages of notes or Lutwidge/Quain’s Journal, contain fragments of sentences that would make more sense if they were formatted to appear as they did in SITS.
 * For these it would be appropriate to include a picture of the document next to the transcript on the page.
 * If you are including Mark’s notes on a document use more than one colon at the beginning of the line to indent the note to the correct place.
