Warbarons on wikipedia

[piranha]

I've been working on getting warbarons links out on as many places I can on the internet to try to increase the traffic. It's a pretty time consuming and not too fun job when all you want to do is work on improving the game itself. All permanant links to the site found by the google bot increases our page rank with makes Warbarons become more relevant on search engines. Right now its almost impossible to search for us unless warbarons is included in the search string. We hardly get any traffic from google.

One thing I've looked at is putting us on Wikipedia. They have a quite serious way of validating new pages and one rule is that you may not submit articles about anything that you are the maker of. So I'm wondering if there is anyone interested in creating it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warbarons

Would be great to be listed there.

I've added us to game lists where there is a link to our Wiki page that does not exist:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mu ... wser_games
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology ... ideo_games

I nominate... KGB!

More seriously, though, I'd be happy to contribute to an article. Just let us know if someone gets it up!
(My wikiedit skills are terribly outdated, so I shouldn't create it)

Sadly, I've never created a Wiki entry. So I'd be a poor person to do it other than simply created an entry that pointed to the Warbarons website.

I opened the first link in Piranha's list but I don't see Warbarons listed there. You are in the 2nd link.

Write suggestions for content here. Then someone (possibly me) will put in Wikipedia.

Jeremy,

I don't have a Wiki account setup so I can't edit a wiki entry but the first thing you can do is go here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warlords_%28game_series%29

and add Warbarons to the remakes as a hybrid of the best features of War2 and War3.

You can also lift content from this page as well to describe Warbarons.

Piranha, you may have all the legal ramifications of this whole thing thought out and settled; I don't know anything about that. But if Warbarons becomes a charge-to-play affair then I think the legal ballgame changes a bit.

Would you let us know where the boundaries are for the community representing your game in places like Wikipedia? I mean would you specifically tell us what it is that we can or can't claim publicly about your inspiration from Warlords? Is there anything we should avoid saying, etc.? I know that the Warlords franchise is maintained in copyright and I don't want any of us to inadvertently make trouble for you. For all I know you have full legal permission for all kinds of things, but please inform us so that we won't cause problems.

You are right about that. I'll have to ask someone who knows these type of things better than I do.
