Hehe, look at what I made: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egoboo_(computer_game)

Egoboo (The game) has now its own section on the English wikipedia Razz

Maybe some of you who speak other languages could translate it into other wikipedia than English?

YES!
And... what's this I DON'T see?!
No "candidate for deletion bar!" Or at least not yet.
Again; YES!

I hope you don't mind if I rewrite parts.
It *looks* "slanted."
Wikipedia doesn't like that.

e.g., "fun to play" and all that don't need to be there.

No, I think it's really not supposed to be there, you can't show a biased opinion in an Expository text.

Zefz did, and for a good reason.

Minor crisis.

Two or three different people proposed it be deleted due to it not being "notable."
Fortunately, in addition to adding new information, I was able to locate several websites mentioning Egoboo and add them to the references.
In the process of this, I created an account on...

Holy cow. I'm totally in informational writing mode. I'm having trouble shaking this, too. I guess I was doing that for too long!

Anyway, I made this account on "Great Games Experiment."
I don't really know much about it, but I DO know:
1. I've heard of it a few times before
2. It looks shiny

For me, that was enough. Now I petitioned to become a developer of Egoboo and a contributor to the page. I'm assuming the creator won't mind, as I'm fairly sure he has nothing to do with the game's development. Maybe he was on the Zippy team; dunno.
Anyway, my point is, that page will be updated soon, hopefully; it's a bit outdated right now.
I don't know how much good it'll do; it's just a gaming/development network. Still, it proves Egoboo does exist and is an awesome game. 1up would have been pretty big, if their page had had anything on it (it doesn't). Oh well.
Oh, and Home of the Underdogs. My brother claims that's all illegal craziness that nobody should trust. But whatever the case, Egoboo's on there, and it's a pretty big site.

If that doesn't show 'em, I don't know what will!
I'm crossing my fingers and hoping the article is safe now. If it stays, that'll be awesome.

Ack those pompous wikigeeks. Who are they to say our game isn't good enough for the world to see?

No.
I was tempted to say "Not notable?! Well neither is your face!"
But I have more self-control than that.

...OK, not really. I just didn't think of it before.

Anyway, their concerns were slightly legitimate. I looked at their guidelines, and we meet them, but it didn't look like it at first.
That's why I added more references.
Though some of those should probably go in the "external links" section....

Oh, and will someone fix the palace order?
Unless I was right the first time, which I doubt.
