Just so we have a standard format for them (so it doesn't look like 3 totally different people wrote the listings, even though that is the case), please use a format similar to this:

DISTRICT is a district for "(quote/add to a quote of the description on the page)". (fact, if there is one), it (features/hosts/contains) (list 3 sites). To be included in this district, you must (what you need to do).

So, for example, rewriting your Arcadia example @elementzprojects:

Arcadia is a district for "video games, puzzles, [and] toys". It contains sites like 2-Bit, lancer502, and mariteaux. To be included in this district, you must have a site that has at least a decent portion of it dedicated to toys, games, or puzzles.

(it should probably be in a longform paragraph, but the sections can be written independently.)

mariteaux:

mariteaux is the passionate project lead of Neocities Districts, "coordinating efforts and working with the site markup" (Districts about page). His site is in the Arcadia and Silver Lake districts.

MineRobber9000 commented 5 years ago

Their Discord server has been canned.

MineRobber9000 commented 5 years ago

So I've assigned the staff members equally split. (I'm as good a person as any to write about mari :P)

MineRobber9000 commented 5 years ago

Sebastian:

Sebastian (shortened to Seb) - The Districts mascot, tasked with "[sorting all of the sites on Districts](https://districts.neocities.org/about/)". He is canonically [a blue-and-yellow armadillo with black square glasses](https://districts.neocities.org/images/staff/seb.png). [An entire section of the Districts site is dedicated to Seb fanart.](https://districts.neocities.org/fanart/)

dotcomboom:

dotcomboom is the site manager of districts. The districts website uses his software, AutoSite, which "helps you keep all of your website's pages in the same basic template" (dotcomboom, 1). His site is in the Silicon Valley district.

Stylos21 commented 5 years ago

So, 83% of the staff members decided to leave Neocities to Somnolescent. For the final draft, we need to make everything past tense.

Stylos21 commented 5 years ago

lempamo:

lempamo was the miscellaneous and backup programmer of districts. He left and was kicked out of districts, and the discord server respectively due to ideological differences.

Stylos21 commented 5 years ago

The Neocities Districts is a site directory for Neocities, which is broken down to 6 categories to make site searching much more simpler, regarding your interests. The URL was originally owned by dotcomboom, and the very first version of Districts was for Geocities neighborhoods, which was unsuccessful. When Hyperlink 1.0 died, Districts then was envisioned as moden-day DMOZ, and for this version, there was a prototype. This was also unsuccessful. Finally, lempamo decided to help with Districts around August of 2018, and that was when Districts went live and got successful. Capy, Cheren, and later dotcomboom decided to help out as well. Around October 2018 was the time Districts became public.

MineRobber9000 commented 5 years ago

Alright, I think this is good.

MineRobber9000 commented 5 years ago

Now that we've finished, this can finally be merged.
