Missing Wikipedia Article

Hello,

First: awsome project!

Second: you are using many popular sites to spread the word, but what about a wikipedia article? I dare to say that your audience also includes "older" age groups which still use "less fashionable" sites.

Third: In case u create a wikipedia article, do u know if wikipedia allows a different author to translate it to other languages? Is it sufficient if the original author allows this?

Many thanks for this game and good luck!

Welcome to TW [MENTION=3203]dead_man[/MENTION], and good idea! Personally, I edit Wiki pages now and again, and though I've never made one, I'm sure I can look up how to. When and if I have time, I may get to a page on TW :)

I once added Traction Wars to an Wiki articale about WW2 games.. :D

But yeah when I googled for ww2 games that article ( with the games ) came up first so I'm guessing more people read it and that it'd be usefull creating an article about TW on Wiki

So I submitted an article, but the Wiki admins opted out of posting it, saying that Traction Wars wasn't "significant enough"... even though I had modeled the article after existing articles of similar topics for this exact reason. Oh well, you'll just have to wait till 2017 ;) They'll see just how "significant" TW will be then.

It was a nice idea but we don't really need to be on Wikipedia. Some day we'll be significant enough for them to eat their words ;)

Must admit I'm a bit surprised they have a threshold for what information is significant enough as the whole site is full of niche articles but it's the Wiki community's decision how they police their own site.
