Volunteers Needed!


Hey Sharks! We need one or more volunteers to keep the Deutsch Wikipedia entry for the Erlangen Sharks up to date. I've got the English one covered but anyone can edit that one too!

Jens Goedel created the original entry in the Deutsch Wikipedia, but now we need people to edit the page as new events happen. Also if there is anything you want to add about the history of the Sharks or previous seasons then don't be shy to make that edit in either language!

Editing in Wikipedia is easy and does not require registration. Just click on the edit this page tab on the top of the topic. The links to both versions of the Sharks in Wikipedia are found on the right of this page under "JA MANN, FOOTBALL!".

Also, under "See also" in the Wikipedia entry is a link to a List of American football teams in Germany (and Liste von deutschen Footballmannschaften respectively). This "ultimate" league structure is not up to date or all-inclusive. Anyone can update it! And as you can see from that page, all the team names are hyperlinks to their own Wikipedia entry -- but 95% of the links go nowhere since there is not an entry for them!

Maybe we can encourage the other teams in our league to start their own Wikipedia page so that those links work and our league is better represented. Can some of you explain this idea to them by commenting in the other teams guestbooks? They can first copy our template in Wikipedia (click "edit this page" then copy the source code) so that the style is uniform.....

Sound like a plan? Ok then,
Bir, iki, üç, La Familia!
