A NES Wiki?

[Captain2]

well i see someone added my name but no description.... i'll have to wait for someone else to do it, i confuse myself

The quality of your writing either way (I think it's good, and although I'm generally nonplussed by the whole mascot thing I don't care enough about it to discredit the whole effort by its presence) doesn't really effect the fact that you're the only one writing though, aside from infrequent input by others.

Ahem. You do realize that I wrote literally half of the Significant NESers page? Dozens of people would not even have an entry if I hadn't edited it.

 

[Oruc]

Someone added me to the neser page, with something I didn't expect. Interesting

That would probably be me. What unexpected about it?

 

[Oruc]

The part about the stories, always thought people didn't pay attention

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I added every currently active NESer a while ago, though I didn't do descriptions for everyone.

Yeah, I did descriptions for every single NESer who I knew much of who didn't have one already.

Yes, NK, but you haven't added much recently. For the past, oh, two months, Iggy has done the bulk of additions to the Wiki. It's mostly dead. Hence the segueway into my other points.

I added those names something like a week ago. And it was a massive addition, thank you.

 

[Symphony D.]

Fine, you and Iggy have been more or less the only ones editing it, and it's still mostly dead, meaning everything else I said applies every bit as much. Happy?

 

[North King]

Yes.

Excuse me, but I check the sight at least once a weak and edite about as much. I realize most of my work was done early on, but I have done some recently.

 

[Symphony D.]

more or less

Instead of all jockeying for acknowledgement, maybe you lot could instead acknowledge that the Wiki has not had huge or particularly unique contributions lately (as in, it's been mostly edits of existing pages) instead of arguing about who has done what, which is entirely tangential to my point?

It doesn't matter who has worked on it. It's not really being worked on. I posit that's because of the format, chiefly due to PBWiki. Priority in its existing contributions isn't something I care about (nor is it something of much note anyway given the way in which Wikis are written).

 

[North King]

Nah, I don't think it's format. I don't really mind PBWiki, it's just that I've been doing other projects.

 

[Israelite9191]

I agree with North King. Although, if someone with far more time took the initiative, I wouldn't protest too loudly over a move to a more wikipedia-esque host.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I reiterate that I am fine as it is.

Think we should add articles for individual NESes? Criteria: Generally recognized as highly successful, or longer that 100 pages, or something like that.

 

[Israelite9191]

Yes. I believe originally that was one of the intents. ITNES I already has several pages, including a catalog of updates from the first IT.

I have to agree with Symphony. I just dislike the layout. PBwiki is simply not appealing to me. A wiki on wikia would be the optimum, but we are still to small to get accepted.

Wiki-sites has a more wiki-like layout. I prefer this layout to the pbwiki layout. I just registered a site there:

http://neswiki.wiki-site.com/index.php/Main_Page

adminstrator: admin
pw: *** (guess..)

What do you guys think? Of course we will have to decide on one wiki..

EDIT: just a small example on how a wiki-site page looks like: http://athf.wiki-site.com/index.php/Aqua_Teen_Hunger_Force

I'm with tossi.
