I use Wikipedia a lot.
But I have never (yet) written, edited, or assisted in any way with the content any Wikipedia page.
So I am absolutely NOT responsible for the selection of myself as a Wikipedia reference for the Rule of Rose page.
Heh…heh… but I AM a bit tickled over it.
I am the linked reference #11.
Reference #11 is used to support the following:
Afficionados of the game have noticed that Spanish film ‘The Orphanage’ (2007) directed by Juan Antonio Bayona, has strong visual and plot elements to the earlier Rule of Rose. The protagonist in the film is a woman who revisits her childhood experiences in an old orphanage which resembles the establishment in the game. The movie also features ghostly children, the wearing of strange masks with eye-holes cut out, and treasure hunts where a found object is a clue which leads to the next object, until the treasure is found to advance the plot of the film/game. These similarities are generally thought by fans to be more than coincidental.[11]
Reference #11 links to my Comparing Endings: “El Orfanato” (”The Orphanage”) and “Rule of Rose” (warning, movie spoilers!)
~
That isn’t actually the most appropriate link that could have been chosen to support that paragraph, however.
I think a better choice would have been: “El Orfanato” (”The Orphanage”) and “Rule of Rose” Similarities (movie spoilers!)
That second link is the one that actually deals with the issues raised in the Wikipedia paragraph.
Even so, it is making me smile to find myself used as a Wikipedia reference.

Addition (a few minutes later):
I just now put a link, at the bottom of my “Comparing Endings” blog-post, leading to my “Similarities” blog-post.
That solves the problem of the appropriateness of the link used by Wikipedia.
I should have had a link connecting those two blog-posts anyway.

Congratulations! Glad to see that we aren’t the only ones that appreciate all your hard work.
The correct phrase is “tickled pink”, but I said red (which is close to pink). As in roses? Rule of Rose? Get it now? See the horrible, horrible pun? ^^;
coolness!
“And so, Poker Nemesis has become a reference from the Wiki.

Prince of the Wiki-Rose lol xd
Masq is gonna play too!!! Woo-hoo!
Who are you going to be Masq?
congrats!
Olivia for starters. ^_^- I want to wait a bit before taking on any more cannons because I’m curious to see if anyone else wants to be Amanda or Susan.
That’s really cool! I saw your post in there yesterday. I am posting my own orphan. I got the avatar finished yesterday too. I haven’t seen anyone take Amanda of Susan yet either. I think they are up in the air about who’s going to play Meg too.
I would totally adore playing Meg if no one else does want her ^_^” She’s my favourite
SOmeone has her but she’s MIA. You’d have to get on the site and look up the owners to find out what her status is.
Yeah I think she still is MIA there are still a few spots for characters. You could always create and orphan too.
hone onna who plays meg isnt here at the mo cause she isnt with her laptop and she will post when she can in the meantime please wait thanks you
It’s worth waiting for.
Pokey~, you’re also referenced on tvtropes.org.
I love that site so much, I squee’d when I saw the link to here. >w<
I am no longer a Wikipedia reference, I see.
I expected that. I think they have a Wikipedia rule against linking to fan-sites. So I knew that someone would eventually figure out that they shouldn’t allow a link to my site.
Aww, that’s too bad. You’re so thorough and concise too, it’s a shame. V_V
…damn…
I’m sure the fact that you’re the first thing that pops up if you look up Rule of Rose on Google and Yahoo wouldn’t be a consolation would it?

Heh, heh…
That cushions the blow…
XD Typical male ego issue.
Well those are the only two search engines I use so there may be more. But you’re like the first four articles when I look up “Rule of Rose” on Google and I didn’t count how many were just you on Yahoo.

I don’t think it is an ego issue.
If people don’t find one’s blog, they won’t read what is written in it.
And I don’t write just to have a conversation with myself. I don’t want a diary-blog. I write in order to be read by other people.
So I want to be easily find-able in the vastness of the internet universe.
Isn’t that a major reason why you write much more on my blog than on your own blog, Masq? My blog is the blog with the traffic. The blog people find.
And I worked hard to gain the traffic.
If I ever would lose the traffic, even I would stop writing here.
I was playing but sorry anyway.
Dude, you’re also thr 7th thing that came up when I typed ‘Rule of Rose’. That’s how I found you. <3
