Has there been any thought on making a Wikipedia entry or entries about the Never Ending Quest? Or would it require too much time and effort?

I was wondering if this site had a wiki entry yet. I know the other site I go to (gamefaqs) has its own page for each board. I think it would be a good idea.

There is an article about Addventures that's classified as a "stub". Expanding this would be a good start.
Oh, and that article has links to some addventures at the end, including those I frequent (which obviously includes this one).

My question is, who would author the NEQ Wiki article?

If anybody's to do it, then I think that it should be Sir Toby. At the very least, if somebody else does it then they should run it past him first before posting it.

I'm not sure that the Addventure article needs much expanding. It seems like a good and fairly comprehensive article. The list of links to addventures seems comprehensive too. There are a couple of addventures included that I wasn't aware of.

I thought I heard a while ago that Wikipedia had a policy against writing about subjects in which you are personally involved...

A little digging found this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Autobiography

I think I will personally stay clear of writing anything about Extend-A-Story in the Wikipedia. However, anyone else should feel free to add whatever suits you. I can help answer any questions you may have if you want though.

I might attempt this feat over my winder break. Of course, I'll need to put a heck load of work into it, and make sure Sir-toby confirms that it's alright, but man, it would be fun doing it.

I would put some work in too.

Include a link to;
NEQ
Sir Toby's site
Wolfrun's Guide.

And put a see also on;
Addventure

Well, this is someting I certainly forgot about

I'm not quite sure how I would do this (I've never written an article for wikipedia, and I would have no idea how to link everything), but I feel like this would help Extend-a-Story become better known. And what I really wish is for this place to grow. So although I'm a master procrastinater, I've got to at least try this.

There would be a risk that the NEQ, or even Extend-A-Story as a whole, wouldn't be viewed as sufficiently notable to have an article in its own right. If something flagged it for deletion and the majority view agreed that it should be deleted, then your work would be wasted. I think that you'd be better off expanding the coverage of NEQ/EAS in the existing Wiki addventure article.

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at. Like something similar to Wolfrun and lot's episode guides?

No, I think that would be way over the top. After all Wikipedia is supposed to be a general encyclopedia, and I find it hard to convince myself that the NEQ is important enough to warrant something like that. What might be a possibility, however, if anyone had enough techical expertise, time and disk space, would be to set up an independent Wiki purely devoted to addventure - or even purely devoted to Extend-A-Story. The Wiki software is frelly available to whoever wants it.

A NEQ wiki? I like that idea.

Well, I just looked under "Addventure" and I see we are underthere. But I like your idea JH.
