User talk:Trlkly/TV Tropes Wiki

I think we need some footnotes to the show site's notability. That's why I added the tag. I personally think that all wikis should at least have a stub here, but we need to prove notability to keep this away from a VfD. -- trlkly 04:04, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wish I could provide a citation for the Lost reference to the Wiki, but all I know about it comes from private communications between Gus, the original Wiki maintainer, and JJ Abrams, part of which were shared with me at one point. -- "Looney Toons" 152.138.227.55 (talk) 12:43, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If we could get a small excerpt from that communique, that would be nice. All we need is Abrams's permission to post it here... Ideally, we'd eventually have a quote from Abrams in an external source talking about how he's used the site. But, if I remember correctly, primary sources are allowed in limited quantities for certain situations. See WP:SELFPUB.

ETA: Oh, and I changed the reference markup to the one used by Memory Alpha. I was going to use it for a template for the whole page, but I'm a little worried with the {{sources}} tag...-- trlkly 02:57, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so we also could do with a transcript of the DVD commentary of Lost Season 1, so we can quote and explain. In fact, it's more important than an excerpt of the communique, as it would be a secondary source. Thanks -- trlkly 13:29, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. Now we have our entry on the Other Wiki. Awesome. ^_^ -- Da nuke (talk) 07:58, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spread the word if you can. We could probably use more people who have actually contributed to that wiki, as they'll know more about it. It's been relatively easy to source most comments. -- trlkly 14:03, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
