Actually...we don't let everything get in. Only webcomics article get in. Those vanity article tends to get edited into a encyclopedic article. We even have a vague editorial policy like all article must be in NPOV. I have a problem with those creators who create vanity article. Thier article completely sucks, and self promoting, and I have to clean up their freaking mess almost everyday. We don't let commerical adversiting in there, spaming our encyclopedia with 100+ characters pages that have no purpose (In one incident, I deleted more than 100 articles relating to every single comic strips of Gaming Guardian.) Litterally any webcomics stuff can get in if they are real unless they just plain grabage not worth editing, irrevleant, orginal research, a review, hoax, etc. On 10/16/05, MacGyverMagic/Mgm macgyvermagic@gmail.com wrote:
Well, there's been arguments put forward that this sort of thing is a "fork" that does indeed harm Wikipedia (and perhaps the forked wiki too) by subjecting both to contributor drain - if the two wikis were merged they'd each have more people working on their contents. I'm not so sure about this, but I nevertheless think it's probably a net loss to be deleting content from Wikipedia that's perfectly acceptable for other encyclopedias to cover.
The problem with this is, that Comixpedia is a collection of all webcomics they can think of there's no editorial control and literally anything can get in. Merging that with Wikipedia would introduce scores of what are basically vanity articles for the creators. Just try arguing for undeletion with a solid claim backed up by references.
