I think Fred at Wikinfo may be able to help... at least this would be a
good
place to perhaps im****t the data to. Wikinfo differs from Wikipedia in
several im****tant ways -
http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/Wikinfo:Editorial_policy
''...Wikinfo differs in editorial policy from Wikipedia. Generally, the
main
article on a subject should present the subject in a positive light or as
a
concept which makes sense. Alternative or critical perspectives should be
placed in linked articles, Wikinfo welcomes editors from Wikipedia and
offers much more op****tunity to edit freely. Original research and
Original
ideas are welcome.''
''...Wikinfo's editorial policy differs significantly from that of
Wikipedia. Wikinfo is many things "Wikipedia is not":
In the case of controversial subjects, especially living people, the main
article should take a sympathetic point of view. (Don't go overboard with
this, Hitler was still a monster).
Original research is welcomed. If you know something, cite yourself, and
in
the case of actual research, tell us how you proceeded.
You may write about yourself or your organization or company, and paint
them
in glowing colors...''
Already, zine-related entries exist at Wikinfo, including an entry on
ZineWiki itself -

''...Will Dockery 02:36, 14 May 2008 (EDT)Hi, welcome to Wikinfo. Should
there be any doubt, here, there is no comic or creator of a comic which
would be considered not notable. You may, if you wish, write an article
about yourself. Fred Talk 07:18, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
