	My jaw about hit the ground when I saw what version of the wiki you are running here, it's sorely outdated even for the 1.4 series. Might I suggest a significant upgrade (1.6.7 comes to mind) and installation of two extensions that will curb so much of your spamming traffic. The first extension is Spam Blacklist which allows you to list domains/urls that, when found in a article, prevent someone from saving the page. The second is called "Bad Bahavior" and it does many cool things, but one of the most important is to block a ton of proxy connection that are commonly used for spamming. I believe it also address spambots that can race through a wiki in no time. These are just so friendly suggestions from someone who doesn't visit Cunnan too often, but likes to see his images up on the front page, lol.

	Don't worry about making it SCA specific. You'll soon notice many pages have sections "X in medieval times" and "X in the SCA". The former is often much harder to find people to write about, so we'd really love you to write about the topics that you know about. Anything medieval is interesting to us, and there are actually people in the SCA studying from these texts (just not in mainstream combat), so it is very relevant to the SCA too. The decision to make an SCA slant, was more an admission that we probably couldn't sucessfully provide information about every tradition of every reenactment group. We hope to have lots of historical information, and some really nifty explainations of how that can be applied to reenactment, as well as explainations of some SCA traditions and structures. We hope to be usefull to more than just SCA members too.		Don't worry about making it SCA specific. You'll soon notice many pages have sections "X in medieval times" and "X in the SCA".

	I like your wiki, it's a good online resource. I could add/edit sections on medieval sword combat and/or 14-16th C. fight treatises. Would all of you be interested? It's not necessarily related to the SCA and SCA combat doesn't use it specifically. Most of the rapier material would be appropriate to SCA rapier. But I don't know how to make it SCA specific.

			Hi Conrad, I'm glad to help. I'm not in the SCA actually, I'm an anthropology student and a western martial artist. I study western martial arts from the High Middle German "fechbucher" of the Liechtenauer tradition as well as sidesword of the Bardi tradition, and Capo Ferro's Rapier. I've also studied the medieval period in general and European armor in specific.
