Talk:Encyclopedia Daemonica

Interesting. Was this a long-term community collaboration or a widely acknowledged "notable" fanfic (of which there are surely many, some more solidly built than the licensed novels)? If not, I think it runs afoul of our original research policy: see the bibliography on page 64, which seems to consist mostly of forum postings.

The actual PDF should probably be deleted as a copyvio. Although it uses id's material no more often than our articles do, I don't believe fair use can be claimed because it is being used to illustrate a derivative work rather than to illustrate an explication of the published games.

 * Hello there,

Actually, forum postings were not used, but rather the information from the websites (that host the forums).

At least within the whole PlanetDoom community (and a few other websites) it is considered to be a "notable" fan fic. It was in the PD news when it first came out, and more than 600 people downloaded and read it.

The forums are mentioned as the "support group" that helped in the project's development.

I was advised to license the thing under GFDL - would that be fine? If necessary - I WILL do it. No problem.

If there is anything else to make the thing better compliant - tell me.
