Well, do we? I ask this because if a page is created about an item that is not well known, it will be deleted. Are we strong enough in numbers to warrant such an honor? 
I'll help make it but I will need some other people to pitch in. Writing, linking, giving me ideas and so on. Any help would be appreciated, - The-Masses |

Everybody should. So why can't we have one. |

judging by the lack of community interest in populating the wiki page we have going, I would say trying to put it on wikipedia (and keeping it there) would be improbable. |

That was a separate wiki. I'm talking about a page on the MAIN Wikipedia. - The-Masses |

If we can't even populate a self hosted wiki, we can't possibly maintain one that meets wikipedia's article standards. Those standards would require references, and the production and defense of an entry to justify its noteworthiness. It would have to be pure facts, no bias - a very dry article that would inform someone of the very basics of what Cortex command is about. You wouldn't be able to talk about strategies, modding, color commentary on the mods, units etc. Because of those standards, the wikipedia entry would not be nearly as useful as a self hosted wiki as a resource for players of Cortex Command (most games use wiki based sites; not wikipedia) Two have been attempted, both abandoned, again. Yes we need a wikipedia.org entry. But the information we could put on there would not do the game justice nor help new players and those looking for more information about Cortex Command. |

Mmm. I think we deserve one, but Wikipedia is full of bureaucratic shit-heads. |
