So what's been happening with The Flavor Wiki beta?
#Updates Theres been a lot going on the last week with tons of help by /u/HerrHut, /u/KraftyKiwi & /u/DataNotAnecdotes.
##Copying Reviews & Formatting We got the go ahead from a few reviewers: /u/T_Mace, /u/ConcreteRiver, /u/ChemicalBurnVictim, /u/PerennialPhilospher, & /u/mlNikon. To copy their reviews over to the wiki and we began that process with T_Mace, PerennialPhilosopher, & mlNikons library of reviews. Not yet formatted, but copy'd over. Left to do is ConcreteRiver's library and ChemicalBurnVictom's reviews.
For a good example go here
And for the discussion on formatting check out here
For formatting I've been working with /u/KraftyKiwi to bang out a more particular format for converting reviews over using the new ConcentrateBox to more easily tag up these reviews quickly and move on to the next to get lots of work done. That brings me to,
##ConcentrateBox_v2 We got a second version of the concentratebox going that autopulls the data from the concentrate page itself, so it can make it a little bit easier for a user to copy over flavor reviews, tag them up, then have an infobox display all this natural information in a nice infographic style way. Making the page look sharp and nice.
For the progress made and what we're looking at next go here
##Image Imports Speaking of sharp and nice, /u/HerrHut has been getting tooooooooons of work done. Like unbeleivable really. Making scripts to pull images from manufacuturers websites, we got WF, INW, LNW, CAP, LA, FA, FLV, FW, & RF. Doing great progress but we can also use more help for that. No amount of slowing downs so far....except
For the discussion and planning check out here
##Spam Reduction We got blasted...and blasted........and blasted with wikispam. And I've been working hard at getting this spam reduced and hopefully eradicated, every morning I would spend a half hour just deleting/blocking all the spam. I tried a few methods, but nothing seemed to work. At this point we're blacklisting all links besides what is explicitly whitelisted. This has been working fantastic.

I really, really need to start typing reviews. This is my mid-year resolution.
This is awesome! Thanks to everyone for their hard work. This is kind of what I asked for a couple weeks ago. Can't wait till it's complete.
Goes faster with more help ;)
If I had more experience I'd gladly help out. As is I've only been diy'ing since January. Bout the only flavor I have that hasn't been reviewed already is the souffle from RFSC. To which I'd say don't! Unless your looking for a plastic buttered scrambled eggs lol.
This is a great resource. Thank you for taking the time to do this. It echos my own current project.

Very cool. I'm a lot more on the React/redux totally custom side of websites, and generally pretty busy, but if I can help out I'd be glad to.
This is gonna be sooooo dope when it's done.
Thank you for your support!
No need to thank me. You guys are doing a bang-up job condensing and adding all of of reviews from the sidebar. I have nearly 200 concentrates and I bought them all thanks to the notes left by reviewers. I even went as far as copying the notes for the concentrates I have directly into my ejuice calculator so I don't have to go back to it every time I wanna mix something new. Took me days to get that done so I can only imagine the amount of work you guys are putting in. Can't wait to see it come to fruition.
