Well, if it does get deleted, someone should keep the info on hand for later. I was interviewed for an article with a major daily paper that may appear next week. Also, there is slated to be an article in the next issue of the Buffy magazine, as well as a mention of us in volume 2 of the Firefly Visual Companion. That ought to be notable, I'd think.

That would be awesome to be in the Visual companion.

We made Wikipedia, guys...

Entry by D-Day

Because my boss insists upon me working for my salary (shhh... don't tell that I'm posting this at work!), I don't have time to read these message boards and just discovered this thread this morning.

Personally, I dislike Wikipedia. Long story. However, I figured that most people go there for information no matter what I think, so I created the Flanvention 2 entry and wrote a long post. Somebody else created the B3 post and cut and pasted from my original.

Creating a Wikipedia entry is nothing special. Anybody can do it. Doesn't mean we're famous.

Please feel free to add and to update it.

Oh, good. That was what I voted for in lieu of outright deletion.

They are. I'm glad it can't be deleted now, though.
