Loading Screen:

Adding a picture for the loading screen isn’t very hard.
Well, lets start!
You need: Model Editor
*Step with step.

7) After you select the generated file click Ok .

8) When you click Ok the window have to close. Click on the menu ‘File’ and Save as. Warning! Don’t change the name that it already have (Loadingscreen).

9) Now that we finished with the make of the icon, we must open the world editor and then go to the Imported Files. When you import then you have to go to the generated file and remove its path ( war3mapImported\ ) .

10) Import the two files, (the generated and the file with name (loadingscreen) . Now, the last step. Go to the menu in world editor, Scenario and then Map Loading Screen. At Loading Screen Graphic click on Imported File and choose the file with the name LoadingScreen , you know, the one that you saved. This will have its path normally. Finished! Now go and check if it worked! If not, remake it by using again the orders.

Map Preview:
This is very simple!
Let’s Go!
You need: A program that makes icons to .tga (If the icon you want isn’t .tga)
*Step with step.

1) If the icon isn’t .tga make it by using Photoshop for example.
2) When it is .tga import the file to your map
3) Change the path of the imported file to: war3mapPreview.TGA

This tutorial is pretty much an unorganized mess that covers a wide number of unrelated, different things.
First of all, the name: "World Editor's Guide", this is a minor thing, but "World Editor's" implies that someone called World Editor made this guide, whilst you actually did, so the tutorials real name (grammatically) should be "World Editor Guide", which isn't really right either. As like half of the tutorial covers things outside the World Editor, such as the custom Loading Screens and Mini Previews sections, my point is that people who see this tutorial will think it covers things it doesn't.
Let's move on, there is already a good tutorial covering colored texts, so I don't think your tiny section regarding this is really necessary, unless you add more things to it, such as mentioning programs that can generate color codes etc.
Finally, the import section. First of all, you should perhaps explain what the different icon types are (BTN, DISBTN etc.), instead of just telling people how to import the different kinds of them.

All in all, this tutorial covers mostly things that other tutorials already covers and is pretty (like mentioned above) unorganized and such. The name is misguiding and the tutorial is rather simple overall. Because of these reasons I do not think this tutorial should be approved at this time.
