I think the idea of commending him passed through my mind at one point, but I must've forgotten about it. Glad someone else thought of it, and I like the resolution too.

[Greater Rhodes]

Thanks, I really appreciate that as this is my first ever WA proposal. And yeah with all the work he has done for everyone I think he deserves it.

[Sanctaria]

FURTHER NOTING that Imagey Nation's image thread has been arguably the most successful thread of its kind on NationStates, and without it the quality of images used for role-playing would be radically lower;.

I'm not sure of the phrasing of the sentence. Perhaps, " , and without it, the images used for role-playing would be both few in number and poor in quality"?

Yours etc.,

My biggest concern with this draft is that I don't believe that links to topic threads are allowed in WA proposal text. (It's a great idea to put the link in the draft text, though, so nations can check it out.)

As such, you may want to specify that it exists on the Gameplay forum - although, I'm not positive that that would be necessary.

I can't say that I'm familiar with Imagey Nation, personally (I don't commonly venture into the Gameplay forum), but the details cited here make him sound deserving of a commendation.

Best wishes,

[A mean old man]

I seem to remember something being said about links to anything on the NationStates site being allowed, but I'm not sure.

Yep, but the [url] tag won't work in resolutions.

[Bavin]

/me supports. Its about time imo.

Oh. I'll have to drop those links in my Yelda commendation, then.

Yes, that sounds better.

Best wishes,

I was planning on taking it out anyways, as the non-forum website does not support URLs anyways. But it is necessary for nations to go and take a look at the work of Imagey Nation

[Greater Rhodes]

Just wondering, if there are not any huge concerns in the draft, how long should I wait before sending it in as a proposal?

[A mean old man]

I'd suggest waiting a few more days for some more people to reply; to be honest, I haven't read the draft carefully yet but would like to soon, and I'm sure there are others who plan on doing so as well however are either away or are currently preoccupied.

[Sedgistan]

I'd advise a couple of days at least, to let others review it who may not always check the forums every day. There's no need to rush.

Perhaps, "NOTING that, to date, the Free Land of Imagey Nation's extremely successful thread, If you want a seal or logo, has received over 30 000 views and 1000 responses,"

The next clause, you might add:

AWESTRICKEN by the meticulous care, precision, attention to detail, and overall creative genius Imagey Nation puts into his work and also by, not only the artistic and realistic value, but the originality of the work,

ACKNOWLEDGING that these that these seals, logos, communiqué templates, flags, and other related illustrations produced by Imagey Nation have almost always been received with positive feedback and responses of great thanks, and are still used significantly by the nations that Imagey Nation have been commissioned by;

I am always confused by this, should it be have or has

FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGING that despite being busy, Imagey Nation has always been committed to sticking to his thread and creating images for the nations that commission him quickly and diligently, and is always willing to further tweak and amend his work to suit the ever-changing needs of his patrons;

Maybe a rewording to "Imagey Nation has always been committed to his thread and creating the aforementioned commissioned images quickly and diligently"*


*Not entirely satisfied with my own suggestion, but that clause should definately be re-worded.

I agree, that sounds pretty logical. But generally for my first ever proposal this is ok?

Definitely!

No, I meant that the commas I thought you should leave out were highlighted in red and the ones you should put in, blue. You put in the two commas in the numbers, but you left the one in before "and also by". I think you should remove that comma.

Ok. I will remove the and also by comma, but according to SI numbers with more than three decimal places are separated by a space, not a comma.

[Sanctaria]

SI?

[Greater Rhodes]

SI. Funny, we were just talking about this in AP English.

[Sanctaria]

Ah right. I've finished, I suppose what would be in the US, "High School" and all through Higher Level Maths, we used a comma (,) even in the bigger numbers. I guess it depends on the country.
