Putting Freespace in Wikipedia
Hmm I wonder if we can add an article on freespace on Wikipedia? Any Freespace history expert out here who is willing to make a good detailed article about our favortie game and submit it to it be documented in the annals of internet history? :D

Start one off and then everyone can edit and add to it as time goes on :)

It's already in there, but I added quick summaries about the Shivans and Vasudans to go with it.

The main problem is that there are only a few people who visit and edit anything in the Wiki.

I thing you've got the wrong Wiki TopAce. This isn't the HLP one they're on about.

The topic is on about http://en.wikipedia.org

BW : I just did a wikipedia search for freespace and found nothing.

Odd. I did a search for "Freespace" and turned up absolutely nothing. It simply sent me to a page to search Google and Yahoo.

Oddly enough even searches for "Descent Freespace" or "Descent : Freespace" turned up nothing. It was only a search for "Descent: Freespace" (without the extra space) that turned up anything.

Conclusion : Wikipedia's search engine couldn't find it's own arse with both hands. ;)

Capital letters may be the problem.

WikiWiki! :D

I added an article called "Freespace" that provides a link to "Descent: Freespace"

Doesn't matter. It's still monumentally stupid even if that was the cause.

Indeed, I didn't say it wouldn't be stupid. I have just tried it myself, it really doesn't matter.
