attention all webcomix creators!

By any chance have you been given the shiv by the powers that be up yonder at Wikipedia?
As some of my readers may know, I am not the biggest fan of digital comics, HOWEVER- I do see potential in such presentations. ANY form of creativity is valid in the perfected world.
It has come to my attention that the mods of Wiki still seem to be stuck in more prehistoric times with regards to what garners entries and what does not. Actually, I think some of those people are as biased as the geekiest of fanboys, and are readily abusing their stated power. And sadly- apparently are preventing many credible and high volume webcomix from attaining entries.
Based on guidelines and definitions which could easily be reconfigured, your webcomix should have every damn right in the world for a reasonable shot at entry, and I want to help.
If any of this applies to you, specifically- if you have been harassed to any degree by that online encyclopedia then I invite you to share your story with me for a future potential article.
Fight the system!

Who's being shut out?
Wikipedia does have a substantial Achewood page. Then again, Achewood's even been reviewed in Time Magazine.
A proper study should be made of who's included -- and compared with who's included from print comics. Then we'll have a good view of how snobby (or not) Wikipedia is about webcomics.
