...when I'm not playing AD&D I'm deleting articles from Wikipedia
NOTE: This post goes out to all you righteous "editors" who hang around wikipedia.org all day deleting newer articles without giving them the chance to expand.
So... a few weeks ago the Party decided to start a wikipedia.org article, the wiki being (as we thought) an open source dictionary/encyclopedia. The article was up for no more than a week when we noticed it became pegged for deletion, this is where the "wikipedia editing community" decided to show it's ugly head(s).
The deletion process started with one user (who's name escapes me) calling the article not notable. Other similar arguments followed including a debate on our side by one Virtualian. To make a long story short The Brown Party of Canada article on Wikipedia was put down Monday, January 16 2006.
An interesting footnote to this rant:
Because of the article's deletion Google now shows a total of two hits for the search:
"the brown party of canada"
This is exactly what the Party was hoping to achieve...
SUCK IT WIKI!
