Hi!

== The Quality of the Site ==
:I have looked over the questions and cannot suggest a particular failing. Colonizing Mars is hard work, and so is developing good copy describing the prospects. For me the problem has been budgeting time to make good contributions.--[[User:Farred|Farred]] 20:25, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

	Example: [[Charcoal]]. This occurs with every new image inserted. So, the pages look terrible. Does this influence Marspedia's popularity? -- [[User:Rfc\|Rfc]] 12:26, 30 November 2013 (UTC)		Example: [[Charcoal]]. This occurs with every new image inserted. So, the pages look terrible.

		+	:You have put some good graphic additions into articles. The lack of graphics because of a software defect should have an effect on popularity. How much of an negative effect occurs and how much of a positive effect is needed for the Mars Society's purpose I do not know. - [[User:Farred\|Farred]] 21:43, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

	Okay, I have added an appropriate question to the list. But what is so wrong about that? I think we can not be better than Wikipedia if we have exactly the same policies. There are quite a few people contributing to the Mars pages on Wikipedia, which is fine, of course. How should we attract those contributors away from Wikipedia? From my own experience I know there are another few people in conflict with Wikipedia's policies, mostly regarding the ''Notability'' thing. A whole lot of discouraged writers, whose contributions have been removed from Wikipedia's prim pages, commented with "not notable" or "original research". I wonder why we can not attract them to Marspedia. Do you really think the Marspedia policies keep potential contributors away? -- [[User:Rfc\|Rfc]] 17:16, 26 November 2009 (UTC)		Okay, I have added an appropriate question to the list.

 ::... which seems to fit ''" Are people too busy struggling their daily life?"'' best. Yeah, that is my problem too. And most people seem not to be interested in such a "weired" idea of colonizing Mars at all. And yet, the number of Mars Society members is constantly rising. Is it for them easy enough to pay a membership fee, but contributing is to hard? I am trying to think what keeps them away from Marspedia? And what can we do to encourage them? -- [[User:Rfc|Rfc]] 18:53, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
