[edit] Barcodes

If you're doing what I think you're doing I strongly advise against it, wikipedia is not the right place for a comprehensive database of barcodes, for more information about what wikipedia is not, see WP:NOT. I'm however not ruling out the existence of a barcode wiki somewhere, you just need to find it :)

Alternatively, you could set one up at Wikicities -Obli (Talk)^? 21:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for spotting my mistake, usually I make the mistake of letting a spellchecker proofread my texts :) Anyway, WP:NOT remains, compare it with the undertaking of creating an article for every phone number there is. Sure, it *is* information, but you wouldn't want it to bog up an encyclopedia. I've pasted a link to this talk page on the IRC channel, an admin or two should chime by to give you their opinions any moment now.

Still, I think it's a cool idea and a wiki would certainly fit that purpose, it'd have to be a wiki dedicated to barcodes in that case... -Obli (Talk)^? 22:07, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

NOBODY is interested. So much for saving the planet today.

So, today ... I requested it in WIKIA visit me there
