[WikiEN-l] Meanwhile, AfD grinds on

Sun Oct 16 00:06:43 UTC 2005

Who care if that article ''The Jar'' get deleted from wikipedia. If
wikipedia don't want this webcomic article, than
www.comixpedia.org<http://www.comixpedia.org>can have it. In that
situtation everyone win! Because Wikipedia don't want
this particular article, another wiki licensed under the GNUFDL can have it.
In this case, an encyclopedia dedicated to webcomics who don't care about
notablity/popluarity of a webcomic. In fact, we already tranwiki the article
"The Jar" with credits to Wikipedia. See
http://www.comixpedia.org/index.php/The_Jar
 So absolutely no harm done..
