Forum:Anime Network

I've been browsing the wiki's in the Anime and manga category and noticed that a number of them are inactive. In fact the Anime wiki itself is mostly not active. The Digimon wiki is inactive and it's admins are to. The Dragonball wiki has no admins but a somewhat active set of users. All 3 of the Inuyasha wiki's admins are inactive and there are few editors. The Last Exile wiki is basicly dead. The Zatch Bell wiki never even got off the ground. And the admin of the Naruto wiki only did a little but is inactive now, but it has a decent user base.

Looking arround I also noticed that none of the anime wikis even mention each other, and it gave me an idea. I was considering a small wiki network, we have a wiki about Naruto, Inuyasha, etc... and a wiki about Anime in general. What about linking them together. That is, the Anime wiki with it's list would have a general article about all the other animes, and articles about animes with wikis about them would be linked to. In adition those wikis would link back to the Anime wiki with a link in the sidebar.

I'm not saying that we should poke a number of people into becoming the admins for the different wikis, admins should adopt a wiki by choice in a hope to improve it. But while I've never heared about Last Exile, and I've only watched a little of Zatch Bell so I wouldn't be of much help there either (Plus I don't think I could help out the Digimon wiki.) I'm sure I could be of use in the Naruto wiki, and possibly the Inuyasha wiki, and while I haven't watched Dragonball in awhile (but still remember a good bit) I think the Dragonball wiki has enough of a user base already for me to deal with that to.

I know I am not usualy up to promoting a new sysop on The Gaiapedia because there are to many people who either don't fit the profile, or aren't active enough to fit it. But this is a bit of a big project, and If I could start this to try and impove a number of the anime wikis I'm sure I'd promote a few of the active members of the individual wikis in the process.

Would anyone think of any objections, or dare I say, want to aid help?
