Wikipedia - Farkle

Wikipedia has an entry on Farkle.

Would it be possible to get my own site listed there?

I would say so, as long so you do it right. In my case I developed some unique information that nobody else had. I had information on Farkle and Drinking, Farkle and large groups, and Farke History.

I noticed one incorrect entry at the beginning, attributing the first commercial Farkel to the guys at legendary games who created the successful Farkel game - changing the spelling and adding new rules, so they could have proprietary and legally protected version of the game.

Buy Farkle has been commercialized much longer than that. I have a boxed Farkle Game from the late 80’s. The US patent and Trademark office show numerous early trademarks for the game, which have expired over time. This information is listed in my history of the game.

So, correctly, I did update the wikipedia page with the corrected information, and gave proper attribution. It was only a few words, and done in the proper style and format as desired by the wikipedia folk. I know the footnote links are no-follow, and do not add to my search engine score, but it does lend extra credibility to the validity of the site, and might drive a few clicks my way.

On the other hand, my website had been on the first page of google for a day, and today it disappeared (long before the wikipedia thing). What made it go away? The 30DC guys say it’s common and will come back. I’m kind of nervous about that, however.
