What do you think? If something needs some reworking,
please let me know your suggestions.

How's the rest of the project going, anyway?

-Scott

>>What else can Wikipedia be used for Shadowrun
besides world building?

Could "Corporate", "Vehicle", "Weapon", etc sections
be added?

-Graht

>Wikipedia, from what I have heard discussed on this
board and from what I've seen of the website myself,
could be used for all the above and more.

Wikipedia could be used to post new Spells, new
Spirits, new Vehicles, new location archetypes (like
Airports, Churches (incl. Synagogues, Mosques, etc.),
Sports Stadiums, Museums, Movie (Simsense or Trid)
Theater, Schools (Universities & Colleges, High
Schools, Middle Schools, Elementary Schools,
Pre-Schools, Nursery Schools), Prisons, Government
Buildings, etc.). It can also be used for Game Masters
to access confidential GM material.

It could also be used to post stuff that would help
flesh out the Shadowrun world, like data on what trid
programs are playing where and when (and if someone's
in a place like the CZ, what they might have to do in
order to simply watch their fav sitcom), and there's a
whole host of Contact Archetypes out there but I would
suggest that all Metatype elements be removed from the
Archetype name and the basic Human Stats be given (or
a simple reference could be made to a similar Contact
Archetype already published (SR 1, 2, and Sprawl
Sites) with some modifications to the Attributes,
Skills, gear, etc. noted, that way people will be free
to modify that Archetype according to whatever
Metatype they choose by just applying that Metatype's
Attribute modifiers without having to take off the
modifiers from the metatype they did not want. anyway,
here's the contacts I am suggesting should be posted
on the Wiki Shadowpedia site in PDF format in the
above manner. I have not taken off the Metatype
designations. Straight Copy/Paste (from
