heyas

i use Wikipedia all the time, everyday. and i thought "why the fuck doesnt TS have a page"
so... id like to bring the community together and add a page about tastyspleen to Wikipedia

i dont know much about editing on Wikipedia, iv only done it twice
but for those who know alot more, we would need you to get us going

tastyspleen is the last of the quake2 community, i think we deserve a slice of this popular webpage
it might bring more users here, we could link this on the quake2 article they already have

i thought quadz or defiant had one up or at least was in control of one. i know it was discussed, thought i laid eyes on it.

Updated http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake_II
Also, Jehar, Deathstalker, and I have a Quake2 wiki: http://quake2.pbwiki.com/
similar to the TastySpleen/BTF LAN party wiki: http://athenslanparty.pbwiki.com/

While I support the idea of a tastyspleen wikipedia page, I don't think I can contribute to it myself. I think wikipedia has rules forbidding writing articles about your own stuff. (?)

There are still other quake 2 communities still alive. Gloom communities, KotS communities, Acme CTF (less of a refuge and more of a refuse), r1ch.net, Jay Dolan and his work, War§ow, DDAY (which from what i hear is dying off), foreign AQ2 leagues, and Paril and his work on the Generations project. Oh and don't count out the TFQ crowd.

Tastyspleen I would say is the best run and maintained of the lot.

. . .

Maybe we could "assert" our "significance" by pointing out we're the largest network of free q2 servers in North America ... or something like that?

At the bottom of Quake 2 Tastyspleen is listed under the external links...and R1Q2 has one.

There should be a Tastyspleen one.
