So based on Jet and GG's proposed wiki name that apparently is supposed to make logical sense, why does this only include non-nerf brand rather than all dart launching brands? if we were to have 1 wiki, wouldn't it make more logical sense to have all dart launching brands under the proposed "Dart Blaster Wiki" wiki name? by keeping a wiki focused on Nerf, it still shows that rather than being unbiased Nerf just has to get special treatment. criticism is not only aimed towards non-nerf brands but also aimed at nerf/hasbro. in order for one wiki to work, it would be the best if it was unbiased and that all brands were given equal treatment/status.

Also keep in mind that the most active blogs with connections to Hasbro still support the other brands as well as new start ups. rather than current nerf wiki local staff try to dominant what content will be on the potential new off brand wiki, the community should choose and a process be put in place to allow new brands be suggested through which community consensus will decide whether or not it will be included. this removes all possible bias and makes the wiki more neutral.


 * all successful wikis that have a large community already understand the "neutral" point. i have not seen one wiki so far that has gotten successful/trusted and large with the bias displayed by nerf wiki. you are free to prove me wrong.

points against merging to Nerf Wiki one thing that seems to be stopping discussion from continuing is that local staff doesn't want to lose control - this applies to both nerf and NBW.
 * biased and focused on nerf
 * see wiki name
 * the suggested "off-brand: " in front of articles is clear indication of this bias
 * multiple users have displayed dislike of JetCell being in full control of the wiki - promotion/demotion wise
