User blog comment:JetCell/Wiki news: merge and overhaul/@comment-70.129.191.126-20120725202326

First of all, I like the idea of bringing all dart blasters into this wiki, but I have some questions to ask and suggestions to make about this merge. First, in which wiki will the merge take place? Will the new page URLs begin with nerf.wikia.com or nerfipedia.wikia.com, or is there some method of seamlessly connecting the websites? (Sorry I'm kind of new to this wikia stuff.) Also, how about standardizing the spelling to only American spellings (since most of the users of these two wikis are American, not Canadian or British), such as or instead of our when ending words such as color.

Another thing is, Both of these wikis are very childish. This is shown in their constant reference to "Famous Nerfers" who mostly are just a bunch of rambling people who are doing simple, childish, and often destructive modifications in low quality, low light, unedited video. (And don't forget their dreadful reviews where they give inaccurate range tests and beg for subscribers.) These wikis also seem to rely on blogs for most of their information, and these blogs are mostly geared for little kids, and not serious nerfers (and by serious nerfers, I mean people who attend organized Nerf wars, make homemade etc.). My suggestion is appeal to the serious crowd more by having instead of lists of "Famous Nerfers" and List of Lazer Tag Jargon you have articles on things such as barrel materials for modifications, and homemades that actually matter (such as the +bow, Pump SNAP and Snapbow). I know you want to make a difference in the Nerf community, but you're not going to unless you start appealing to the serious crowd more.
