What Ho!
Greetings, fellow Wodehousian! I'm Andrew Leal, an admin over at Muppet Wiki. Founder Danny Horn told me about this place (we're such Wodehouse fans we even found a legitimate means of including him in our Muppet database (as see here). Though I'm pretty busy with the other Wiki and my own scholarship (new semester starting), I look forward to pitching in.

A few questions and suggestions, though. I realize you're starting out, and the About page is a good start, but I think it might be worth making it more explicit whether the database would extend to inclusion of characters, literary references in the works, locations (someone already created a page on Wrykyn with no place to put it, and I'd love to start stubs for Blandings Castle or the Senior Conservative Club myself), and adaptations (TV, stage, radio, film). It might just be worth pointing those out, as areas for newcomers to work on just as much as book/story pages, unless you wish to exclude them.

Also, the "Wodehouse Sightings" box is enticing, but since currently blank, also ill-defined. Does it refer to TV showings, upcoming events, new biographies or reprints, or even references to Wodehouse in other works?

Anyway, I hope you don't mind my peppering you with questions, and I look forward to this becoming a truly informative database. -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 04:38, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Aha! I just noticed that a lot of that *is* covered, just at the community portal. I was thrown off mainly because so many Wikia wikis use their portals primarily as means of listing contributors and how to contact them, not for public announcements. You might consider reshuffling later on. Not that I mean to seem pushy, of course, or force you to change you brandspanking newborn Wiki while still in the gestation stages. Just the fact that a purely Wodehouse Wiki exists has me quite chuffed, so to speak. -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 04:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
