Wikipedia Wargames listings

Post by 1ComOpsCtr »

It appears the Wikipedia Wargames lists have been taken over by an individual who has a real bias against some manufacturers, rules sets, and individuals in the hobby.

Very little is mentioned, if anything at all, about Microarmor, or the GHQ rules sets.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Miniature_Wargames

One or our "founding fathers" needs to take a look at the link and make sure GHQ, their miniatures, and their rules, have their place in the Wacky Wiki World.

An individual names Larry Dunn has attempted to take over the "Wargame" Wiki. He needs to be reined in strongly. There is a complaint forum against his tyrannical rule of the information stream that should prove beneficial to the community.

Please visit the site and make sure this forum is represented in the mix. I will be happy to provide a link to the dispute page if anyone is interested.

Here is the general Wargaming entry. GHQ is not mentioned at all...

Thats really a limited view - hopefully an honest oversight. I edited the list of manufactures to include GHQ. Thanks for the info 1ComOpsCtr

Ritter,

I had to edit your entry because it would have been deleted by the "powers that be" for several reasons. The GHQ title link lead to a page on a General Headquarters, and the railroad references do not belong on a wargame listing. Minor changes, which hopefully will remain intact.

I fixed the link to their website - and the grammar. I probably was a bit hasty in the copy/paste of the GHQ info.

Thanks 1ComOpsCtr!
