Hey George, this is Shrev64 (mainly regarded as Shrev), hailing as an administrator at the Sly Cooper Wiki. I noticed your blog, and was hoping to get in touch.

As you may or may not know, the Sly Cooper series came into this world by Sucker Punch Productions in September 2002 (closely approaching its 10th anniversary), and currently consists of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus (2002), Sly 2: Band of Thieves (2004), Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves(2005), and the remastered version of the three, The Sly Collection (2010). Well, Sly 3 had quite a cliffhanger, but was biting the dust until 2010, when Sly news finally came out, but Sly 4, which was what fans were waiting for, didn't come.

That is, until last year's E3. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, under contruction by Sanzaru Games, was announced at E3 2011, with updates coming since then about the game. This game really gave Sly fans what they wanted, as a Sly 3 continuation hadn't been among any news for 5 years! As you can imagine, when a game you've been waiting for for 5 years is finally coming out, especially by one who didn't make the original three, you want to get as much information as you can without ruining spoilers.

The Sly Cooper Wiki, although far from perfect, is getting there at a rapid pace. We've focused on making sure our templates get the job done as effectively as possible, while also being visually appealing for users to use. We've also got a list of Policies enacted so the staff can make sure they've got something to refer to. We've also been trying to maintain consistency on articles with, as a I mentioned before, the templates that are being revamped/created.

The Wiki is also trying to make it a gamer's haven, so to speak. With every Job/Mission article we create we make sure to add an HD video at the bottom of the page, or put a "videoneed" tag at the top of the page to remind us that it needs a walkthrough.

We've also recently introduced a "News" system via blogposts. These blog posts will hopefully keep the community up to date on not only what's happening in the gaming world, but also what's happening around the wiki.

If you haven't visited the Sly Cooper Wiki, I ask that you please do, and take a look of what we've done, and please give any criticism. We're also hoping that Sanzaru Games knows of this (we actually had a European Product Manager for the game talk to us here!), and would be willing to help in any way, such as gameplay reveals, or some footage, anything.

Thanks for reading all this, if you need my help/any of the wiki's help, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you!
