Guidance was provided by Ms. Tamara O'Malley. It should be noted that, while this idea was initially executed by Tristan Damron and AJ Garcia, it survives through the WikiMedia community, all of whom are extremely dedicated to their respective fields and are the sole reason for this book's creation and success.
