MicrasWiki Purge
MicrasWiki http://micronations.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page is purging a number of articles, including my big Cyberia article.
http://micronations.wikia.com/wiki/Cate ... r_deletion
Now, I'm not worried about that (I've copies of it here and there), but some of this stuff is irreplaceable. Any help is welcome.
It's most of it isn't Micras, but I'll plan on saving as much of it here as I can, unless someone yells really loud at me.
Thanks!

Re: MicrasWiki Purge
So, Good Doctor, should I keep copying graphics and all, or?
Harvey, instead of hating them, mayhaps we can recruit them, especially the ones that get their stuff erased?
I mean, somebody draws a map of France or Antarctica, and says "This is mine!" We have a map, and we say "This ismine". The dreamlike quality is the same, the results are the same, except we don't get arrested.
Our states are Real, in the sense that we all agree that they are. 99.975% of the people living on the lands they claim doin't agree with them.
My point is, I think a lot of them can be converted!

There isn't a lot of common ground, apparently. They seem to be true secessionists in the worst possible terms. I read a topic about "where do you see your nation in 10/20/50/100 years" and a lot of the responses believe that all of their citizens will stay active and they'll get nothing but stronger and have taken control of England or some such country by then. This sort of thing coming from what appears to be a one-man state.
I just haven't the patience.

Re: MicrasWiki Purge
The MicroWiki staff aren't idiotic enough to delete articles about micronations which actually matter- I'm not surprised that they're doing this purge, the number of seccessionist micronations which are declared and then just die when their owners realise the amount of work they'll need to put in must be in the thousands.
Information on MicrasWiki must be relevant to the Micran- or at least the Anglophone simulationist- Sector. Frankly I couldn't give a damn whether articles on some seccessionist nations get deleted- and their long-gone articles couldn't care much either I dare say. Our priority must be to salvage articles on MicroWiki about our Sector, many of which were copied from the MNN wiki and other Wikis which are no longer in existence. We just don't have the time to save every page so let's save stuff of relevance to our sector.
