@dzamie @aurynn Correct about Wikipedia.Wrong about https://www.mariowiki.com/ - #advertisement at the bottom of the very first page. "Nada"? So dzamie's credibility is suspect. Maybe do better for a specific GameFAQ?

However, if avoiding sites with advertisements, you can't read any family histories on #Familypedia or the lengthy guides to various video games on other #Fandom sites. Some people want to. Those who don't want to needn't.

I wonder if dzamie reads "free" newspapers. They must hurt.

@aurynn Over-generalising? Venture capital created #Fandom (originally known as Wikicities), which is a great group of cooperative communities. Examples: #Familypedia.fandom.com and he lists on https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Hub:Big_wikis

@noblevirtue About half a sentence of that diatribe about #Fandom.com is factual; the rest looks like just rude and/or ignorant abuse. Scroll down the home pages of #Familypedia.fandom.com, #lotr.fandom.com (#Tolkien), #civilization.fandom.com, #newzealand.fandom.com, #freeciv.fandom.com, #military-history.fandom.com then look at their recent changes, and see thriving communities well supported by Fandom staff - and if you are registered (which is #FREE) and logged in you will see very few ads!

@nomdeb You would be most welcome to add your #family #history (including any number of #Photos) to #Familypedia.fandom.com, a #free #genealogy #wiki supported by #Fandom staff. Registering and logging in will remove most of the #ads!

@munchkinstein Hello, Brian! Lots of my #ancestors were allegedly born near your district. I will never get there to look up records in churches. Thank goodness for #Findmypast and #FamilySearch and FreeBMD and #Findagrave
Much of my ancestry is on #Familypedia.fandom.com.
#Forlong and #Forlonge are among my somewhat elusive surnames of interest - #Glasgow wine merchants around 1800.

#NewZealand supporter of #Fandom - notably #Familypedia the #semantic #genealogy site - and #UNICEF
