Forum Wiki - Collaborative Encyclopedic reference guide - Page 2

PS -- if anyone from whom I pasted content, especially AHarris, objects to it being posted on a wiki, feel free to remove it. If I weren't just posting content as an example, I'd make more of an effort to credit the original authors.

Thanks for setting this up. Here's some stuff for it:

where is meaculpa and his shoe thread when you need it?

ROFL.

I don't know where that's from, but it made me cackle.

Newcleus - Jam on it.

Judging by the number of edits by people other than me (zero), the whole collaborative concept of wikis is not well understood here. I think it's best used as an extensive FAQ or reference, but it's only as people make it.

China thinks wikipedia is anti-communist and has blocked the page.

A Kabbaz' shirt making and care articles might be appropriate, but I don't know how much leeway he gives for re posting.

I've added section headings to the shoe page to make it easier to read.

Is it possible to create sub-pages, e.g. Shoes/Styles?

Please be sure to post credits to the author of any info you take from the forum (very important) and preferably a link to any forum discussion on the subject (would be nice).

Also, text shouldn't be copied from the forum without explicit permission from the original author.

Thanks. The stuff I pasted over there needs to be cleaned up.

Yes, the "New Page" button will allow you to create a new page. Check out the following page for some tips on editing wikis:

Kent, could you edit your OP to include the URL and current edit password?

I'm pretty familiar with editing wikis, but I haven't used this particular software before. I tried to create a sub page with a / character but didn't really seem to succeed

Anyway, I copied and wiki-reformatted von Rothbart's list of shoe makers and put it on a temporary page here: http://styleforum.pbwiki.com/ShoeMakers I've also sent a PM to von Rothbart asking for permission to put it there.
