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.

Both, actually. I changed my mind at the last minute.
I'm going to add you, if don't mind!
Thank you, though. And yes, it gets its very own encyclopedia.

Aw thanks, I'm flattered!

You are submitting the article (once complete) to Wikipedia?

No, I'm creating an Enmoot encyclopedia. I'm also planning on submitting an article.

An Encyclopedia Entmootica. Nice idea.

But I want full editting rights if anyone ever writes an entry about me.

I seem to remember that Hector has started an attempt to update those, but I can't relocate the thread. Perhaps his work can be combined with this idea.

This is a cool idea. I'd contribute, to both. Except I'm not a member at Wikipedia. Don't you think a section on "History" should just tell about entmoot's early days, bmilder, the dates that each forum leader was appointed maybe, an explanation on the 60,000+ post counts, etc. and then notable threads like the Teacup Cafe can be alongside the member bios and a TT link in the "Addittional information" category?

Me, too. In fact, please do not write anything personal, either jokingly or seriously, about me that you may have gleaned from paying attention to these threads over the past year. All I want is that I'm from L.A. and perhaps what kind of personality I have, but I want no miscellaneous personal details in a bio of me. No way, my little buckaroo. It's one thing to have potentially identifying tidbits scattered here and there in deep in the threads, but to have identifying info all together collected in one easily accessible place - Oh, I shudder, I get panicky just thinking aout the concept. Majorly panicky. So, FULL EDITING RIGHTS, like Earniel said, and do not write anything personal about me other than what I've got already in my Profile, and what my personality is like. No personal identifying details, please.
