Not every game can get a long, in-depth entry on Wikipedia. One blogger is set to change that., one game at a time.
I really like Wikipedia. Any site that can educate me on the Holocaust, Eric Roberts, and Kano from Mortal Kombat within a few searches definitely has the makings of a permanent fixture in my daily web searching. Wikipedia's also become a pretty good gaming site--heck, I actually ranked it my second favorite in 2006! For a top game like Final Fantasy VII, it's a compendium of information packed into one page. Not every game can get that kind of treatment, however. That's where I come in. I'm going to make it my mission to update Wikipedia entries for the underloved games. Thankfully, I'm a big fan of undiscovered games with barebones entries. The first entry I'm working on sprucing up? Back to the Future II & III for the NES, which stands at four paltry paragraphs. I haven't much experience in the realm of Wikipedia updating, but I do have an unexplainable obsession with the crappy games begat by one of my favorite film series.
I intend to.
Can I conjure up enough info to make it an entry worth reading? Will the world be better for knowing more about an awful, ancient NES game? We'll find out same time next week. In the meantime, what games do you think need more Wiki love?

How did you end up looking up Eric Roberts?

I made mention to him in the first sentence. Though anyone who doesn't make Eric Roberts' Wiki page a regular web destination isn't really getting all they can out of the internet.
