Why is this Wiki being maintained?

There are at least two other Conan Wikis, namely the Age of Conan Wikis. I'm just curious, as, if the intent is to include all Conan the Cimmerian content eventually, then by implication this would mean including AoC content too. I acknowledge that those wikis have lost their focus on the original REH tales amid the wash of the MMOG material, but might it be better to edit that wiki and simply create some delineation in the articles that separates the REH canon from the other stuff?

 * well, the two AoC wikis are are pretty exclusively the game; this is intended to be the literature, really. There are well over 100 of the comics on here and I'm slowly but surely putting the stories together in a format I prefer. I appreciate your contributions and hope you do more! --YardIHS 04:49, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

You are awesome!

I see you've been on a tear adding Gods and Goddesses to the page...I think that's terrific. My focus (and, if you look at the history, ever since I took over two years ago, it's been pretty much only me) has been on getting the fiction down and branch off to the subtopics when I could...I figured this was a lifetime hobby...! I love that someone else with some knowledge is adding great pages and materials. Look forward to working with you! --YardIHS 00:19, January 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Um, thanks. But don't be too hasty is handing out the praises. I pilfered most of the Mitra entry from an abandoned Age of Conan wiki. Incidentally, I have been working pretty hard on the main Age of Conan wiki. I picked that one to focus my efforts on as there was simply already more entries there and thus more to work with. Feel free to trawl my edits over there (400+ in the last two weeks) and copy them across to this wiki if you want (as I will do from time to time with articles I feel I have finished to a good standard).


 * I just think that it is better to focus on the wiki which is already quite substantially completed. I am focussing more on the lore and background rather than the MMO aspect. I have quite a few of the books and most of the Dark Horse comics, but limited time due to work starting again soon. On the other hand, I always thought that any wiki dealing with Conan should be called the Book of Skelos, so if you change the name, I might be swayed to switch over ;-) Shiaic 06:30, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
