Ok, you know Wikipedia, well, we all could make page's for handhelds. I've only done 1 so far.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caveman_%28electronic_game%29

I got all the info from your site Rik. Hope your cool w/ that. Crying or Very sad

Sounds like a good idea. I never used Wikpedia before. How long does it take to create a page?

Only 'bout oh 5-10 mins. but it depends on how long you want it to be. HoW COULD YOU NEVER USED WIKIPEDIA? I use it 5-10 times a day.

I run a website/forum which deals with vintage toys which basically keeps me pretty busy whenever I am online. Exactly what do you do on Wikpedia? Not really too familar with it.

W/ is the website/forum?

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/inde.....a_new_page

You need to create an account, go down to "Did you now" and under that is says "Start a new aricle" and then you should be ok.

So it's typically a search engine?

It's like an online encyclopedia created by users on the internet. If you look something up and it's not there or incorrect, you (anyone) can add to it or correct it. (I have no idea how they keep that from being abused...)

I categorized Mario's entry for example, so it now appears in the category 'Handheld Electronic games' along with Mattel Auto Race and few others. There's actually a bunch of handhelds there, they just aren't cataloged well...

Add this line to the end of any handheld game entry:

[[Category:Handheld electronic games| ]]

and that will start cataloging them all in a common location.
