WesWorld on Wiki?

Have you guys ever checked if WesWorld already made it into Wiki?

I just did.

German Wiki doesn´t know the term wesworld but the english wiki does. :o)

Well, actually there is no article about WesWorld (No volunteer to write it?) BUT there are two references. Looks like our friend Gavin here has made it... Just take a look on reference 1.

The second reference just links to WesWorld without mentioning an author...

Have fun....

Well, actually it´s not really as if "we are" but probably one day....

My first referenced work and its complete nonsense! I don't know what the real answer is, but it's definitely not that.

I've been considering putting a note about WW up on wiki for alternate histories or some such but just never got around to it.

Someone will just hit it with a "Notability" tag. :P

On a related tangent with our other recent thread here, what about the possibility for a WesWorld2 Wiki? Something like that instead of an encyclopedia section on the forums.

(No, I don't know how to really host one or where to host it from, just floating the concept...)

I find it interesting that folks are using wesworld ramblings as reference material. Should in fact serve as a warning. We happen to have a bunch of knowledgable folks, but there is a fair amount of fiction interwoven.

I know it was odd to be looking for something OTL- Belgian artillery I think, and find a google link to stuff I wrote here about a hypothetical varient. If somebody didn't know better they could mistake the stats of my wesworld version as 'real' and coming from some esoteric reference, when I believe the case is I just used a similar weapon's stats.
