 Make pages for all the things the other wikis deem not worthy enough. Who's going to stop you?  
 The God of Time. 
 That was the name of my first client ever: Cronos II

 They talked to me about Oldpedia which is a Wikipedia of old stuff. That one sparked my interest a lot. I think this is a good idea. 
 Maybe there is upside to scouring topical organic reddit posts for wikifree entry population 
 Wow, I didn't know about that. Sounds interesting. I'm about to waste time. 
 I don't know what I expected this to be, all encyclopedias are of old stuff!

I am somewhat disappointed and frustrated. 
 Please take a look of Larry Sanger (Co Founder of Wikipedia) work.

 Wikipedia is kinda shitcoiny! But I'm not an expert and just an assumption imo. Don't want to do the ass thing! 
 I want to read "pseudo science" and other articles that you know you can't find on Wikipedia.
