I think that Barrys World does deserve a place in the Wikipedia. If someone could write an unbiased, non promotional piece about it's original concept, it's birth, troubles, successes and finally it's end. I think this would make an interesting piece. Promotion of web sites and companies is not tolerated but you cannot promote what doesn't exist, although the mention of FH is a legitimate part of the story.
The small print reads thus :

Some may think why bother? That is a fair comment but if anyone can be bothered (looks at Rob as the man for the job) then I think it should be a feature in the Winipedia, from a Uk online gaming history point of view. History may well live on through the tried and tested word of mouth amongst the natives but if it is officially logged in the WikipediA it is there for all to remember as an official piece on a credible data base for as long as the WikipediA exists. The story might as well be repeated here as well, I see no reason why not myself.
This is not a light hearted task if taken seriously, my vote for content management would be Rob SAS but whoever does it should liase closely with the BW founders. I would do it myself but being ducksluxik I have to read everything 5 times for mistakes and break everything down into small paragraphs, it would take forever and I am likely to fuck it up.

Articles about companies and products are fine if they are written in an objective and unbiased style.
