The Gunsandall wiki generates a lot of links. But you're right, Wikipedia has the monopoly. Perhaps then a History Vocabulary database where college students would come to get definitions of various historical topics and figures or ideas? I know my ideas are lame, but I'm trying. 🙂
wouldnt something like that generate more hits whith the search engines?

Wow I didn't realize it was generating a lot of links. When I was making improvements to it I thought I was basically doing it for an audience of one (or two). Too bad no one else at NJO really has the desire to see something like that succeed. It really needs to be a group effort.As far as a history wiki goes, a history dictionary might work - as long as the ideas keep coming things can work (though I don't know if I wouldn't know enough to help much with a dictionary). Another idea might be a wiki on history's worst blunders, or perhaps historical conspiracies....I don't know I'm trying to think of things off the wall that haven't been done before. 🙂
Some of those mught work, though I might be careful about the conspiracy thing it might draw the wrong people.
If you go to Wikipedia and type in 'american civil war' at the bottom where the external links are he has a link to american history forums.
Oh yeah? I didn't find any link to the site:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_WarI even searched the source code on that page and could find no link.
Thats weird. Maybe it was removed. It was just a couple of days ago. Maybe I was looking under a differnt topic. I remember clicking on it and it took me directly to the Civil war thread on that forum. But now I cant find it.
Ok I see – the site is listed at the bottom of these two pages:http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=americanhistoryforums&fulltext=SearchIt would be nice if this site were listed in Wikipedia. I don't think I can personally include my own site there, though. I can check again but I think it's against the policies.
