Wikicartoon, the free cartoon encyclopedia

In celebration of Daffy Duck's first appearance on this date in 1937, I started my search for a wiki related to cartoons. I first found Wikicartoon. It is hosted on Wikia. It was started on February 3, 2006. The home page notes that they are currently working on 107 articles. It appears to have been idle for awhile recently, but there's been some activity lately. Five new pages have been created in 2008, but there have only been 8 changes during the last 30 days and none of those within the last two weeks. The wiki could definitely use some help. It currently has at least 1,000 items on its wanted pages list. There's no page devoted to Daffy Duck yet on the wiki, but Daffy is mentioned on the Warner Brothers Cartoons and Looney Tunes wiki pages.

If you've spent a lot time on the cartoon networks, have fond memories of the cartoons of your childhood, or enjoy watching them even today, stop by Wikicartoon, join its community and lend a hand. Hey, why not surprise your kids and spend some quality time with them watching cartoons this week, for research to help on Wikicartoon?
