Entmoot Wiki
That says it! I want to create an Entmoot Wiki. One devoted soley(sp?) to Entmoot!
But before anything, I need: -Permission from an official. -Several interested members. -Description, which I hope several mooters would compile. -Addtional information, whatever that includes. -A small, suitable logo. -Some history/information to make it worth the trouble. In fact, this is the entire reason for creating it, mostly! Might help in getting them interested, too! -Help upon creation.

I'll help to the best of my ability, too, although I'm a little confused as to exactly what you are making. An inter-Entmoot Wiki? Or a Wiki entry describing Entmoot for the real Wikipedia? Or, or like a who's who and a what's what thread, so that newbies and so forth can refer to it when they wonder about someone or something? Is this Wiki going to be a part of the Entmoot forum, or a totally independent website of its own? Did I already ask that? Maybe too many questions all at once...

Entmoot's very own, personal, member-oriented Wikicity encyclopedia.
![]() Good! I will be sure to put that in "Other Info", because I've decided to use that for placing the usernames of members who endorse the idea. So, now I add BJ and Lotesse. Anyone willing to start out the draft for me? I have some basic outlines: Purposes: --Member bios (with member permission of course! And it's probably best if the bios are created by the members they are concerning). --History, such as major events, like the elections --Current events (self-explanatory) --Major concepts (i.e. Teacup Cafe general info, Cafe history, etc. etc.) Endorsing members so far: -Lotesse -brownjenkins -trolls' bane (which is my username there, except w/ caps) -Grey Wolf -Nurvingiel -The last sane person -Bombadillo -Butterbeer -Acalewia -Klatukatt -Thain Peregrin Took I -Meriadoc Brandybuck -Farimir Captain of Gondor - -

Thank you! I'm thinking fifteen total will be enough, at least for the company. Probably'll take 'em about three months to get a reply to me, though.

Doesn't the Tolkien Trail website have a section sort of like that, that hasn't been updated in about 5 years? So since it's as old as Treebeard's toehairs, I think a new one is a really good idea.
![]() ![]() I thought you were submitting an Entmoot article to Wikipedia. But what we're doing is making our own on-line encyclopaedia of Entmoot, right? Coolness. ![]()

Two thoughts:
First, it would perhaps be a good idea to put an article about Entmoot on the real wikipedia before making an Entwiki. Second: Quote:

An article on the real wikipedia? sure.
but will it get deleted or not? look at this: from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:WEB Quote:
Michael Martinez gave entmoot 4 or 5 stars (whatever his highest rating is) and said it was the best tolkien messageboard (something like that). And a local newspaper interviewed bmilder and probably mentioned entmoot. we could put in an overview of entmoot and its general history.

Have you Wikied
Made my first (and probably last) edit at Wiki- added a reference to Fritz Leiber`s ChangeWar series in the `Alternate History- Fiction` article.
Anyone else (sorry, my question mark key has suddenly died) |

Yes, there is a Star Trek wiki called Memory Alpha and I edited the Vic Fontaine material. They had all his songs as "a song by Frank Sinatra". Sinatra didn't write a song in his life! So I put the actual lyrics and composer information there. That's my one and only wiki edit ever. It was a lot more work than I ever imagined.

Yeah, I took out a reference to a tourist attraction near where I live which is now closed. Didn't want people turning up and being disappointed
![]() However, realising how easy it is for anyone to make edits like that has made me very cautious about believing anything Wiki says. |

That's true sun-star, but as a general rule, you should cross-check everything before using it as a tool - that's what I do.

I`ve seen a couple of articles there that I regard as blatantly biased; makes you wonder how much slips under the radar. |

Much IMO. A while ago there was a lot to do about a student that had put on the Wikipedia a bit where he said one of his professors at the university was dead. Wikipedia accepted it without fail. The professor in question was not amused.
