Thanks for the effort, Mike. I read their "notability" policy and it did read like a political document but I didn't see anything which excluded us.

Your right B. I read it over again, and there is nothing that would exclude SOW, or NSD from being eventually added to the Notable list.

Thanks B for the Thank You. I only wish this could have been better. I know there are people here who know what they are doing concerning Wikipedia, and having them help out would be great to see, and very welcome.

I'll be working on a proper version by using Mediawiki I installed on my server, and if I can do this right, I'll just copy & paste. Mind you though in Wikipedia do's, and Do Not's list copy & paste is not allowed.

I mean come on. :lol:

Thanks for the support con20or, I really do appreciate it. :)

I'm right now trying to figure out how to address the issue of using the name Scourge of Gettysburg for the Wiki main title which Wikipedia says is not allowed. I mean if Activision/Blizzard, Electronics Arts, Betsheda can have their names of their games for the article titles why can't Scourge of War be allowed.

Right now I have my own account under Mikesla, and it's not right to have my username part of the address, it should be Scourge of War Gettysburg, and nothing else, or have it listed as NSD Scourge of War Gettysburg, OR once it is accepted as being a notable article then you may be able to change the name.

So how in the name are we going to get this to work for NSD? If it doesn't appear, and read like an article found in a encyclopedia then it is rejected. It's going to take someone here who is far better than myself to write it, I just don't know how to do it.

Thanks again con20or for the support.

To NSD: Have you folks thought about creating your own wiki server (MediaWiki Software)? I know it wouldn't be the same though. Just thought I would ask.
