Maybe we need to do a better job making that known. Jeff- all of the comics uploaded by creators are available for free download from the site and can then be synched right to your iPod.

The first time I posted this stuff (way back in January) I learned that the speedy deletion thing was happening to far more "notable" things than webcomics. There is a minority mindset of deletionism running roughshod over all kinds of useful information in Wikipedia. I agree that a comprehensive webcomics encyclopedia is a good thing. Yay for Comixpedia! But that doesn't mean we should give up on getting Wikipedia to be more inclusive, both in practice and in attitude.

All the responses to Howard from Wiki-related types seem to be typically defensive, reiterating the status quo, rather than admitting that anything needs to be addressed. My recommendation for anyone with anything webcomics related would be to ignore the Wikipedia completely and submit it to Comixpedia.org, now under the management (and ownership?) of Josh Roberts (he of the excellent OnlineComics.net listings site and the even more wonderful ComicSpace.com networking site). If anyone can give webcomics the wiki coverage they deserve, the odds are it'll be him. Not sure about that “talking to” ever happening in Wiki-world.
