Hi Bob. This morning I got a note on my message wall from someone who wanted to start a wiki on Charlton, and since my Charlton wiki now redirects here, I wanted to get your input on the situation. Personally I would rather see this person contribute here, and I invited him to do so, but I would understand if he felt that his work would be unnoticed since we cover all publishers here but the wiki name only reflects CrossGen. I put much work into the Charlton wiki and when I agreed to merge it here I hoped more work could be done with those comics. I hate the idea of wiki comic fans splitting up and duplicating efforts that already exist, especially since imo wikia's search functionality is so abominably bad.

I was going to suggest that we move these pages to comicbook.wikia, which the last time I visited, was an abandoned wiki. But I realize: 1. this would involve a tremendous amount of work because sadly wikia apparently has no simple way to merely to rename a wiki, and 2. Since the last time I spoke with you, wikia has redirected comicbook.wikia to a comics hub.

So if we want a new name with a broader appeal I suppose that we would have to discuss the situation with wikia staff. Anyhow, if this Charlton fan does not get back to me I guess the point is moot since it's only the three of us here. I just wanted to solicit your input on this matter.
