Landlord Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hey guys. I don't know if you saw it or not, but I posted a thread awhile back talking about my plans to start a wiki themed around all things Husker sports, and today that has become a reality. Husker Wiki is now in business, and can be located at http://husker.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page This is NOT an advertisement, but rather a call to arms. Anybody can edit a wiki, and I highly encourage you all to do so, because together we can make the best Husker information resource on the web, a one-stop site! [/cheesy line] One last thing; I JUST got access to this, so don't be alarmed by the initial lameness of it, there will be a ton of edits to come. Oh, and if you have any really neat ideas pm them to me or else post about them on the forum in the wiki. Thanks so much guys!!! Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Bump Bump I've been pretty busy lately, but I've managed to start the first 'real' content page: http://husker.wikia.com/wiki/Individual_Sc..._%28Football%29 It's not finished, but let me know what you think of the start. Also, I am still desperately looking for staff members, people to help with content, and neat ideas to implement into the wiki! Quote Link to comment
Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Nice job so far! Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Thanks man. Here's another page, The Drive Quote Link to comment
husker rob Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 can we get this thing pinned so it stays on top........... i would volunteer to help you but i have a hard enough time figuring out how to turn this computer on, let alone editing a wiki i am not that bad but not very computer savy but what you got looks good so far, and remember that it is a work in progress Quote Link to comment

Also, if you are serious about wanting to help, editing a wiki can be the easiest thing in the world. I don't care if it's all text, because it's still something. It's not uncommon for 10 different people to all contribute to single articles, someone will provide the groundwork, someone else might add some images and formatting, someone else a table, etc. etc. This goes out to anyone, if you have ANYTHING to offer that is related to Husker sports, I don't care if it is pretty or 100% accurate, put it on guys! That's how wikis survive, people put what they know, and other people add to it. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Well thanks for the lack of support so far everybody! Quote Link to comment
eliot1171 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I will definitely help once I leave Longhorn country to come back to Lincoln. Aug 13th. Quote Link to comment
bethelbacker Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Love the idea, and as soon as I learn what the hell I'm doing and how to work it, I will be a regular contributor. I love writing, especially about my Huskers. Count me in. Quote Link to comment
bethelbacker Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Also, in regards to the page about "The Drive", I think it should be about the game winning drive against Mizzou in '97, not about our win last year against A&M. One was to secure a Big 12 north title, the other saved our National Championship. Quote Link to comment
huskernation20 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 This is totally off subject but I just wanted to note that the likely hood on someone beating Jammal Lord's single season quarterback rushing record is slim to none. It will probably never be broken unless Callahan decides to pick up a good Dual Threat QB. Hey, maybe Blaine Gabbert will have a shot at it someday! Quote Link to comment

One was to secure a Big 12 north title, the other saved our National Championship. Maybe I will add a disambiguation page, but I have never heard anyone refer to '97 as 'The Drive', only 'The Catch' that happened at the end of it. You should have posted this on the discussion page for the article Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Oh my word......somebody actually edited the wiki!!! Hopefully this will act as a stimulant to everyone else, this site will get closed down if it doesn't have support. Quote Link to comment
husker_blitz Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I hate to break this to you, but did you know you misspelled Osborne on the Osbourne Complex and some other places? I corrected one of the forum index, but I don't think the nav part can be edited. Just letting you know. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 I was unsure, thanks for pointing it out. I will get around to it as soon as possible, I'm extremely busy with offline stuff at the moment, and I've decided that until people start showing interest I am not going to devote all my time to the wiki just yet.
