Cool reference to Cantr: http://www.heute.de/ZDFheute/inhalt/20/ ... 04,00.html (in German)

Indeed yes, hopefully it will bring more german players but how on earth did you manage to find that?

[marol]

I'd say it will bring more esperanto players

[Piscator]

Definitely cool. Let's just hope that many people read this article. I know I would never have found it without help.

Does anyone know if this Susett is on the forums, by the way?

[Jos Elkink]

I know about it because Judith (Junesun) pointed it out - but I have no idea how she knows ... She probably knows when Esperanto is in the German media, though ...

[Doug R.]

I can't read it, but could this be used as a "third party" article to justify getting the Cantr Wikipedia article back up? As I understand it, that used to be a major source of new players, and was axed because it was "irrelevant" since no third parties wrote about it.

That definitley sounds worth trying

[Jos Elkink]

I guess a lot will depend on how it is formulated. We would have to emphasize how Cantr is really still unique in its concept (it is, for as far as I know) and how other respectable sites link to it.

[Piscator]

I'm not sure about the Wikipedia policies, but this article seems not very suited as a third party article. After all, it's not about Cantr but about the 100th birthday of the Universal Esperanto Organisation. All what is said about Cantr is:

"(Susett says:) "I'm a fan of the online game Cantr II, where everyone can generate a character and is able to develop a common world." Besides an English and a German character, she has -of course- created an Esperanto character"

And that's it basically.

Well, if you want to mention link Cantr on Wikipedia, someone with a Wikipedia account could put it on this page:
