Ludum Dare on Wikipedia

I created a Wikipedia article for Ludum Dare: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludum_dare Please feel free to expand on what we have there so far.  I had trouble digging up results of competitions before LD15 and was unable to find the winners pre LD10.

Cool, I updated the page. Still need results for LD3 and LD8.

Wow, nice! Good job collecting all that data 😀

By the way, I changed the page for a simpler, easier to comprehend and less redundant table format. 😉

I don’t want to be a spoilsport, but expect some opposition. Articles need to live up to the notability guidelines on Wikipedia. And in its current state, I don’t believe this one does that.

That may be true, but it’ll be fun while it lasts, even if they take it down.

Nice work with the table! I think this article will stick but we do need more non-ludum dare references. I added links to wired and pc gamer media coverage as well as the time laps video info. I like the idea of having a section for celebrity developers, especially those who already have their own wikipedia pages.

It looks pretty good so far. The page should be changed to Ludum_Dare instead of Ludum_dare. It is a proper name which is always capitalized in typical communications (see even the PC Gamer page as a similar example).

Speaking of the old contests, if anyone has the code for my two player isometric game from LD#3 “Hannibal’s Cannibals” let me know, I can’t find it any longer. It’s a terrible mess and not a good game at all but I’d like to have a complete collection of my past entries just for sentimental reasons.
