Thanks to @taskmaster4450 for his post today.
Why We Need Wikipedia On Hive: It Is Now Pro- Establishment Propaganda.
What a fracking awesome sauce idea. I jumped aboard the idea quicker than a gas fees going up.
I created a new account @nl-hive , feel free to follow it. And pumped out the first post. Newfoundland and Labrador.
Let me dive into what Task had to say in his post and why I am such a believer in this idea.
Wikipedia
"Obviously, Wikipedia is a mammoth site. This was started in 2001 and grown to almost 6.7 million pages in just the English version. The entire database is more than 60 million pages."
Now you know I am not going to do that, I don't believe it is humanly possible. My first post was basically a copy and paist from Wikipedia but I will change that a bit. But why let good information go to waste if you source it.
Decentralized Database
Paraphrasing from Task now.
But what if every person on Hive started doing this idea? It wouldn't do much good at first. But what if one of us or someone outside of Hive built a front end that could easily access all the Hive-o-pedia type content. Then we will have massive amounts of traffic. And most importantly we will have evergreen content.
One thing I will be adding is a glossary page for Newfoundland and Labrador also. So I can start linking, and people have easy to navigate information.
Below is completely from Task.
How To Start
Some question how to start. It is rather easy.
Simply set up an account to use to post content around a specific topic. The idea is to have consistency in the way the pages are aligned (meaning the URL). Keep it page aligned in this regard since it is easy to use in the future.
Once the account is set up, start writing content around what you know. If it is the history of Birmingham, then keep adding to the database. Link the different pages together as terms start to appear. This helps the search engines.
If the topic is niche, after a certain number of articles, it will start to rank in the search engine. This starts the process of Hive as a reference center.
Having dozens of people doing this can lay the foundation for something bigger over time. The question is will people start the process?
Back to me.
I think I followed most of this today.
His last line is the big one.
WILL YOU START THE PROCESS?
Do a page a week, every couple days.
One of thoE people with nothing to write about , got writers block? Here is your fix.
Get to it.
