Its not against you, this site should have a hell of a lot more members, what about that outpost site. Joker1138(The Hub) File:Daleknew.jpg
Where we can summarize what we have done to promote the Wiki so far
- I added a link to the Wiki on my sig. file on Outpost Gallifrey.
- submitted this site to the maintainer of Outpost Gallifrey's Web Guide to DW. the link won't appear right away, though. (incidentally, a Merry Christmas to you all you Tangerineduels at home!)
- a thread on why doesn't DW has its own Wiki came up. I contributed to that thread.
- contacted the creator of the unofficial DW CCG and suggested that he might contribute. got interested in his site because of the high quality of the screencaps he has used for many of the cards.
- contacted the maintainer of Whoniverse.org to suggest that he promote the Wiki. he said no.
- went to some of the WHO-related aritcles on Wikipedia, lightly edited one or two and added links to the relevant entries on the Wiki. made sure that the articles I linked to looked in good shape before I added the links.
- signed up with Doctor Who online. for some mysterious reason I couldn't sign in.
finally, "thought of" contacting some other website owners of exceptional/popular sites as well as likeminded communities, though with the exceptions given above, not really done it.
notably, have not chimed in on the Wikipedia WHO portal where the topic of the Wiki came up. since not a lot has happened here in relative terms they don't seem interested in joining up, which amounts to a self-fufilling prophecy. --***Stardizzy*** 21:53, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Where we can come up with ideas and strategize
Alright, so we need ideas onto how to make this site more popular and gain more editors, right? Well, when I first joined way back on the 21 October last year, I had a very low opinion of this site, as I thought it was drab, plain and most of it appeared to be misspellings and bad grammar. So perhaps many people are coming to this site, deciding "Oh, it's a mess" and leaving. So we perhaps need to neaten this site up a bit, which also counts as a general comment as well. So basically, pics, colourful infoboxes and de-stubbing articles may just be the way to go. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 16:33, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
