A couple of requests:
The wikipedia entry for Comixpedia (which covers .com and .org flavor) is kind of weak - we should make an effort to keep an eye on improving it.
There was also a suggestion to make a mention of the Webcomic Encyclopedia at Wikipedia's WikiProject:Webcomics page - that would also be a good idea.
Last point - slightly related, does anyone have any good ideas on how to track webcomics up for deletion at wikipedia? That's kind of like an endangered species list and we might want to make an effort to save some of those entries before they dissappear off of Wikipedia.
It was voted to be merged into the main Comixpedia article
edit: The history is still available.
They thought lucastds' article was ranting and have a bias so they vote merged.
*sigh*. While I understand that the project was started in order to be more inclusive than Wikipedia, can our motto not be "we hate Wikipedia"?
Well I don't like dissing Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is not perfect but at least they acknowledge their weakness.
Remember that Wikipedia did have a strong influence on the webcomic encyclopedia project.
I really don't hate Wikipedia or want out moto to be "We hate Wikipedia!"

It look to me that the article on comixpedia in wikipedia need expansion. The only thing I needed is time to do it.
well
when i wrote a longer one about the encyclopedia, they considered it anti-wikipedia and deleted it.

Really? That seems kind of biased - I didn't realize that was one of their "criteria" for deletion...
