Wookieepedia talk:First anniversary media release

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

[edit] Moved comments from the article

[mention largest Wikicity. how does it compare to other Wikis? aside from Wikipedia and Wiktionary, is it the largest?]

• I'd say yes...good to mention WikiCities in there, thanks to their hosting.
• Wikipedia is coming up on 1 million articles and Wikitionary is over 120,000 articles. Probably not worth comparing us to them, IMHO. Encarta Encyclopedia has 4,500 articles.

Old info replaced by Abel's quote ... The site has amassed a huge fan following in the short year since its inception, with hundreds of enthusiastic users and a team of 11 superb administrators constantly contributing from all corners of the world. One does not have to dig very far into Star Wars message boards and blogs before finding several links and references to Wookieepedia.

[edit] Distribution list

I have began distributing our media release to websites. Below is an updated list of who I've sent it to. --Azizlight 06:42, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
