Forum:Ikkepedia

I don't know if this really matters to you guys, or if this is the right place to discuss this, but I'll inform you anyways.

Wikia has created two versions of the norwegian uncyclopedia: http://ikkepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Hovedside and http://nn.ikkjepedia-humor.wikia.com/wiki/Hovudside

We've already discussed with sannse that ikkepedia.org is the official Norwegian project, and that it contains both nynorsk and bokmål articles, and that all Norwegians understand both of the two official written Norwegian languages. Why did you create another norwegian uncyclopedia? --Knotebas 04:17, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * If the "clone" was created recently, then maybe it's "normal".
 * Wikia has decided to permit people to create duplicated wikis a few months ago.
 * But, i was under the impression that users where strongly unencouraged to create duplicates of any of the unclyclopedias wikis. — TulipVorlax 04:32, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Wait, i just got another idea :
 * You say that all norwegiens people understand both language and that this i reason to only have one wiki.
 * Then, some people could say that everybody on earth understand english so why not just do only english wikis ?
 * You do know there's more than one english wikipedia ? — TulipVorlax 04:35, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Did you know that the potential user base for the norwegian project is microscopic compared to english language projects? You can't compare the two languages like that. It's best for the project that it's only one big wiki instead of two small ones. --Knotebas 14:46, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * My main wiki on Wikia is the french wiki about Guild Wars.
 * We are only 3 mains users and we now have more than 10 000 articles pages.
 * An yet, Wikia permitted others people to create other french wikis about Guild Wars. Some of them are duplicating most of the already present information and images.
 * I never said it was a good thing. It's just the way it is. — TulipVorlax 03:16, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Saying that "it's just the way it is" doesn't answer my question at all. It's like if I asked "Why is it illegal?" and you answer "because it's criminal.". Why are you still posting in this thread? --Knotebas 04:59, 2 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Because, i have done the same has you some month ago.
 * I was checking french reported problems Wikia wide and that is when i discovered a wiki "duplicating" fr.guildwars.
 * And after i posted on some staff talk page about it, they made the following forum post : Forum:Changes to the Create Wiki process where you can read :
 * Does this mean that Wikia will allow more than one wiki for a given topic?
 * Yes, Wikia will no longer restrict wiki creation to one wiki per topic.
 * So, the only way the two wikis could be merged, is if both communities agree over this. — TulipVorlax 05:14, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you, TulipVorlax, this actually answers my question. It seems that we have the same problem. There's actually three norwegian uncyc. projects right now, two of them are wikia projects. And guess which of the projects has the most pages and the most established community? (Hint:not the copycat wikia projects). Wikia, I find it embarrasing that you let one of the worst vandals in the history of ikkepedia.org create a new identical project, and be the only admin of the project. --Knotebas 05:32, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, i understand better your concerns now. — TulipVorlax 07:54, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
