i was looking around on wikipedia and couldnt find any articles to do with funkysnooker.

so i am proposing that if its alright with admins mods and other players i could do an article on wikipedia about funkysnooker.

perhaps this thread could be a place where players put their thoughts on what should be included?

ideas?

Edit: @hurrican i know mate but i wanted to make it a more public thought

I'm sure that would be allowed.
But you could also ask a admin in PM.

that could be a good idea if someone did not know the rules of snooker and they go to look it up on wikipedia it could come up with funky snooker so then once they know the rules they can get an account and start playing. Plus this would bring more people to the game

It should have the information eg:
Clans
Tournaments(how often they are)
Rules of arcade
Posting
Rules of Carom Killer

V Good Idea Mate Should put it with KeyWords Like Killer, Snooker, clan matches .. So When You Search Any Of That Stuff On Wiki It Will Relate To FunkySnooker ...

I remember this being said about a year ago, but wikipedia said that funkysnooker/pool articles would just be deleted.

Yeah there's something to do with that the stuff on there has got to be widely known for it to be able to be kept. Was something like that anyway,

I know some of the members of BATRacer tried to make a wiki for BATRacer a while ago and it was deleted.

having looked through the company pages... 'wikimedia'... I think it might be achieveable to get a page, think I'll try and get in contact with them

edit: RuneScape get one, so why can't we!

This was mentioned ages ago on pool and was quite big!

The wikipedia staff said something about there not being enough independant evidence to support our claims... I'll try dig it up




After many minutes of desperate and frantic searching, I have found it


http://www.funkypool.com/viewTopic.do?topicid=11908&page=2


To sum it up:

dark_cloud said:
I had a long discussion with two administrators of Wikipedia and unfortunately the reason behind funkypool not being allowed its own article is that there is no independant research about it.

What this means is that information we could put onto the wikipedia article doesnt have any evidence to back it up. Other similar sites as Runescape and Habbo Hotel are allowed because they have independant research done on them.

Sorry guys, I did try though
