User:WestonWyse

Going by WestonWyse on Wikipedia and Shiba_Ryu on various L5R forums, the user known as WestonWyseShibaRyu is undergoing an identity crisis. He is the founder and admin of the L5R Wiki, and is currently going crazy while trying to move to Virginia.

About Me
I'm really not that interesting. I promise. I just wanted the links to my name to be blue, not red. Blue is a much better color. I like making links. It's easy.

There's a lot more blue in that over on Wikipedia.

I joined Wikipedia because I couldn't find a wiki specifically for Legend of the Five Rings, and because the information there was pretty nonexistant, with the exception of the rules for the card game. I pretty much decided to adopt the rest, since no one seemed to have made an effort to update it since August 2004, and went crazy updating and adding.

Unfortunately, I realized a bit into things that the information I wanted to add was too "unencyclopedic" for Wikipedia, being more in the realm of fandom than useful information. So, having found a link to Wikicities in the same page that made me think I shouldn't be adding all of the information I wanted to Wikipedia, I applied for the L5R Wikicity. Now I'm doing what I can to get it running well.

The Idea
The idea I'm going with is to add whatever seems interesting or important at the time, and when I'm not, to go through every RPG book page by page and add whatever seems of import from there. Which accounts for some of thee seeming randomness of how this is all going up.

So, I got the Phoenix leaders, but that file's been on my hard drive for some time now. The Hantei have come up in conversation, so I've got WC:KS on my desk. The historic battles and wars are becoming of import, so the GMG is sitting there too.

And when I'm not doing those, I'm going through Way of the Phoenix page by page (which explains that random Jade Champion article that isn't linked from anywhere (which I now see isn't marked as orphaned because I linked it here. Better fix that)). I'm on page 25 or so right now, and it's getting more and more boring to go page by page. ;^]

I've codified what I'm doing in Phoenix, and I'm asking anyone that wants to help. The details are in L5R:Books Project.

But, anyway, any help is appreciated.
