Is having your own wiki a sign that you made it, or can ANYONE have a wiki?

Hi. I'm just curious and I have wondered about this for a long time. Apparently there seems to be wikis for just about anything you can think of. Is having your own wiki a sign you made it, or can anyone have a wiki?

Please help. Thank you.

@JGoldman10,
I don't think I know what a 'wiki' is. Can you explain?

@JGoldman10,
If anyone deserves his own wikipedia page it would be you, J. Goldman. Very Happy

@glitterbag,
Wiki is the general name of a hypertext publication that is collaboratively edited and managed by its own audience.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki :

A wiki (/ˈwɪki/ ⓘ WICK-ee) is a form of hypertext publication on the internet which is collaboratively edited and managed by its audience directly through a web browser. A typical wiki contains multiple pages that can either be edited by the public or limited to use within an organization for maintaining its internal knowledge base.

@hightor,
Okay. Why? Famous people have Wikipedia pages.

@hightor,
Agreed, prior to joining A2K he had a checkered career on other forums and was banned from them.

There is still a trail, someone even wrote a play about him.

@JGoldman10,
It depends what you mean by 'made it.'

An individual wiki post means you've done something noteworthy or newsworthy.

That would include a lot of killers who see murdering people as some way of attaining celebrity status.

There's also influencers who are known for highly dubious reasons, including a woman who had sex with 1,000+ men in one session.

I would rather be forgotten than remembered for any of the above.

"Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie."

@izzythepush,
Yes, I was banned from certain sites. Sites I haven't been on in years. WHY are you bringing up the past?

@JGoldman10,
Your unique posting history is what could warrant your own wiki.

The fact that someone wrote a play about you shows you made an impression on them.

You're the only person who has ever called me an uncircumcised Philistine.

@JGoldman10,
We have a tradition of eccentrics, and even though you're not English, you'd defintely make the grade.

That's not meant in a nasty way.

@JGoldman10,
Your posts are instantly recognizable and, unlike Oralloy, you've never claimed to have a stratospheric IQ!

@izzythepush,
Again, why are you bringing up my past negativity? Why are you making that someone's else's business?

Dear Goldman10, in what earthly form do you imagine that's even possible. Do you read the Daily Horoscopes???? Don't do that anymore, it's a waste of time .

@JGoldman10,
Let me try to put it in terms you'll understand.

Hightor said if anyone deserved their own wiki page it would be you.

I have given examples of your behaviour that would warrant your own wiki page.

@JGoldman10,
Anyone can make a wiki, popularity just makes it more visited.
