Hello, I am member and contributor of WarsWiki, here to ask you to reconsider your rejection of our wiki.

I am not here to boast about our article count, nor do I believe that we have a wiki that is large by any means. I am not here to claim that we have an active community of editors; we literally have 2 active editors (of which I am one), neither of which have much time to contribute. I will not pretend that the community around our wiki regularly helps and contributes to our project; as our admin Jojo said, "God knows this site hasn't been about Advance Wars for a long time." I know why we were rejected; we are simply too small for your standards. But that is why we need an alliance like NIWA; without one, we will not grow enough to meet your standards. I am not kidding when I say that we would not meet a benchmark like 200 articles until around the end of this summer. Though our active community is very small, I am sure some of the Wars Central forum-goers will take interest in the project if the wiki really gets going. And I feel that WarsWiki could truly benefit from not only editors but coders on the other wikis in NIWA.

This alliance was created to provide knowledge about Nintendo's various series and to provide this knowledge on websites that are independent from any wiki conglomerate such as Wikia. But, as the lists in this thread show, only a few series have quality wikis that are also independent. It has been stated that NIWA is interested in accepting other wikis into the alliance; however, I believe that you all must realize that many wikis exist for Nintendo series that are simply underdeveloped and understaffed. WarsWiki is one of these wikis, and we need NIWA. Please accept our request.

are the problems more content-related or wiki-related?

The reason i am asking, is I've only played one Advance Wars game, but i run many wikis. So, i would like to help, but i am afraid i wouldn't be able to contribute much.

Well I believe the problem was not your size (which I don't personally weigh in THAT much), but the quality of your articles too, but I believe you are correct by assuming that an alliance with NIWA will help

Mostly content, the wiki runs fine in my experience editing and viewing.

So you will make steps to make WarsWiki a part of NIWA? Or am I misinterpreting your post?

By the way, I PMed the admin (JoJo) of Wars Central about NIWA after I posted here.  So the brass on our side is aware of this.

the post i am referring to is had a quote form a previous post, and then nothing new. So, i was curious if you were doing nothing but reposting what was already said.

not a problem.

---Edit to prevent necroposting---
Alright, so i seems there maybe problems with a smash wiki. As much as i liked to run one (and i really would), i don't want to infringe on any previous efforts made by someone else. So, for now, my smash wiki is simply a "fun" wiki, where if the staff at the niwa likes what we've done, we maybe allowed to migrate some of it over.

Which means i am now switching to the mother/earthbound wiki. Which may have it's own problems, as i have limited play time with the games.
Is anyone interested in helping me out on this? or should i scrap the idea?

I think the Wikis should add the abillity for intergrated accounts.

Nice suggestion, bu it had been previously discussed here and between admins, and for the moment, I think there won't be this.
