I recreated the DDRFreak article, after the old one was deleted about a year ago. Apparantly DDRUK can have an article, but we can't?

So please make the article better, it sucks and is in need of improvement. I don't have the time to add in everything that probably should be there, I only covered the basics.

I suspect that Poiuytman either deleted it or caused it to be deleted. He had an axe to grind over something, I just couldn't figure out what it was.

Well the article was also very small and didn't have any info on it at all. I'd like to actually make it notable by adding in stuff that DDRFreak has done, and linkin articles in the news that have talked about the site, or at least mentioned it.

I might revise some things or add other things. I fixed some grammar problems that I encountered when I was reading it.

I added stuff about Stepcharts and Machine locations. I know they suck, so would someone please go make them not suck?

Oh, I took your statement to mean that you thought there was something wrong with our songlists or machine locations information or system.

I know the songlists are out-of-date, but I wasn't aware that there were any significant lackings in machine locations, other than the Other Bemani indicator which I might work on next week (but probably won't have time).

I could try to help with Songlists, tell me some simple stuff you want done and I'll try to help. Just don't ask me to make stepcharts, I could never do that.

The dongle has become disconnected from the boxor. Replace this with {{deleted}} to fix it.

ps DDRFreak is the largest Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) and music gaming community on the internet. Its main components are the website and forums, also collectively known as "DDR:UK".

Can anyone post the DDR Freak logo, a screenshot of our website, and a screenshot of the main page for Wikipedia?

I would but I don't know how. :/

Heh, more like "40,000 members and 25,000 spambots from all around the globe."

Three images is really pushing it. Zero is probably a good number.

I think a logo would be enough, and I'll see if I can find out how to post one.

EDIT: I can't. I can't post a picture on Wikipedia without uploading it to Wikipedia, and when I try to, the button that makes the upload happen does nothing.

If this is ok with sherl0k, I have some images of DDR Freak I could upload on to Wikipedia. The problem is that if I do upload them, I would not know what type of licensing I should use.

Yeah that's fine, I'm not in charge of the article - that's the joy of Wikipedia, anyone can edit it E1.gif

As for a license, check out the DDRUK article and see what license they used, ours should resemble the same type.
