Driver Wiki - help needed!

As the administrator of the Driver Wiki, I am asking for as much help as possible. I neglected to do anything for quite a while, but recently I've been overhauling many different things and plan on adding tons of content. I ask anyone here on Driver Madness to please give a hand on adding content to the site, such as articles on characters, vehicles, cities, or uploading pictures of Driver stuff. I will eventually go through everything and sort it out, so don't worry about messing up on where you put a page for Solomon Caine or something like that.

Helping Driver Wiki does not mean you will become responsible for adding content on a regular basis, it is purely based on your time and your time only. All I ask is that I get as much help as possible, as I'm sure most of you have some information about a specific Driver game that I don't!

Some things I am currently searching for:

-HQ Garage pictures of Driver: Parallel Lines cars
-Statistics for every car in Driver: Parallel Lines (if it has 5 speed bubbles, Speed: 5)
-HQ Character pictures for character pages (every game, every MAJOR character. No "police station receptionists" please.)
-Trivial things about characters, cities, vehicles, etc.
-Easter eggs (these are super important)
-Detailed descriptions of missions/weapons/characters
-Plot refinement for each game (Driver 2 - Driver: San Francisco has poor plot coverage on Wikipedia)
-Information about any Driver game that may not be covered somewhere else
-Whatever else may help us become a famous wiki for a game series!

One rule to remember: NO ADVERTISING ALLOWED. Please do not put a shameless plug of your personal website anywhere on the Driver Wiki - advertising is up to the administrator(s) discretion.

Let's make madness' dream come true - to have the biggest Driver series resource on the 'net! This ones for you, madness!

Statistics and pictures for Miami vehicles completed. All that's left for Miami are descriptions. Just need Nice and Istanbul now.

4 hours later and I've finally finished the vehicles navbox template. It's pretty flexible, not bad for a newbie doing his first big-scale project:

Someone should post the plot of the Wii version of DSF on the DSF page. Not that it really matters but there's only the first portion of the story on the page.

(I really liked the Wii version :D )

I'll add the plots for Driver SF (Wii) and Driver Renegade (3DS) when I get the chance :D

Just letting you guys know that I added a page for Driver Renegade with the full plot, facts, reception, all that stuff. I want to add the DSF Wii plot but I forgot most of it.

I also see someone posted my driver renegade plot to the actual wikipedia. Thanks for that!

I created one on Wikia a long time ago after Madness gave up on his Driver Wiki plan. It's been on the http://driver.wikia.com domain for about a year or two now. It's so awesome having that URL, I actually was able to get Wikia to close down the previous site that was on there (some truck driver wiki that wasn't updated for 2 years!).
