url: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Worlds

yeah.. not much has been done to this article since commit started it, just
a screenshot (which needs to be updated) and a bunch of minor edits... now
there is a ton of stuff that can be added to this.. so im asking for anyone
who is familiar with wikipedia (or not, you can always read the help files)
to help me expand this article. can someone add a screenshot that is more
current? I have been busy with wikipedia lately.. but whenever i visit this
article i always want to expand it.. but really dont know where to start,
lol

Just don't expand it too much. The wiki patrol are very harse on commerical
product entries, to prevent them from looking like free advertising.

everyone in the world can edit anything, it is a free encyclopedia

but there are hundreds of editors that fix any problems.

every single revision is kept in tack on the site, so anybody can easily
revert back to a previous version of a page, and if the page is having
conflicts, it can be locked. so there is no way that anything bad can
happen.

IMHO it should be a disambiguation page

There should be an article about the software and a separate article
about the universe. Right now they're kinda mushed together in the
article: they're separate things.

I would suggest that one article be called Active Worlds Browser.

ok, so.. how about this:

have a disambiguation page called "Active Worlds" that links to "Active
Worlds (Browser)" or "Active Worlds Browser" page as the browser, and an
"Active Worlds, Inc." page for the company? and if sombody wants to write an
"Active Worlds (Universe)" or "Active Worlds Universe" page they can.

i know that all that company history was only ment to be a short part of the
page, but it ended up being a main part, and even as a main portion of the
page it is still very crammed together in there.. it needs its own page.

That's how Wiki wants it. History is the most relevant part to their
dictionary. When I first made the article the wiki patrol cut off
everything except the history section.
The wiki crowd has a long history of attacking commercial products.
