Editing WARPIG (section)

== Archival status ==

=== Preservation of historical material ===

WARPIG's current homepage explains that its creators are maintaining the collected information in an archival capacity.[2]

The website links to its major historical sections.

These include:

* Technical articles
* Tournament reports
* Video archives
* Photographs
* Beginner information
* News and articles
* Recreational paintball
* Field directories
* Store directories
* Magazine resources
* Paintball dictionary

=== Tournament archive ===

The tournament index remains one of the site's most important resources.

It contains historical event reports, results and photographs.

Some event pages preserve detailed scoreboards that are unavailable from the original tournament organisers.

=== Historical research ===

WARPIG is an important source for researching:

* Defunct professional teams
* Early tournament results
* Team rosters
* Equipment releases
* Manufacturer history
* Paintball field history
* League development
* Professional player careers
* Sponsorship relationships
* Tournament venues

Its articles are particularly valuable when they were published contemporaneously with the events described.

=== Limitations ===

Not all WARPIG pages are equally complete.

Some tournament results are partial.

Certain photographs or videos may no longer load correctly.

Older links may point to discontinued websites.

Historical researchers should distinguish between original reporting, published press releases, interviews and user-submitted material.

Where possible, information should be corroborated with other contemporary sources.
