Re: Apple II Wikipedia articles

["Warren Ernst" <wernst@gmail.com>]

Here's another good reason to use Apple2Guide.net instead of Wikipedia
for posting Apple II stuff:

Look at the home pages.

Apple2Guide.net is a wiki structured in such a way that a user, not
really knowing anything, can go to the site and start reading the home
page and get a sense of where to get started. Want to know about
emulation? Identifying a card? Starting a machine from scratch? What
software does what? The home page either tells a user where to go to
get more info, or it will as soon as someone writes it.

Wikipedia, on the other hand, consists simply of (at this point, very
good) articles without context or a unifying structure that would
actually help someone get started. And because Wikipedia is a huge
generalized encyclopedia, there really isn't any way it can duplicate
the friendly, structured home page of Apple2Guide.net.

This fact is really self-evident, and I think a compelling reason to
throw support behind Apple2Guide.net instead of Wikipedia.
