Mancala World → German, Italian, Portuguese.


Mancala World is a wiki on mancala games. It was created by Ralf Gering on July 27, 2008. The wiki was first hosted by scribblewiki, a Canadian wiki farm, which was shut down two month later due to a server crash. Following an invitation extended by Angela Beesley, Mancala World was moved to Wikia from September 26, 2008 to October 1, 2008.

Wikia is a selective free web hosting service for wikis (or wiki farm) operated by Wikia, Inc., a for-profit Delaware company founded in late 2004. It hosts Mancala World free of charge for readers and editors, but uses the wiki for advertising in return. If you find the advertising obstrusive you can either switch to Firefox and install one of its ad-blocking extensions or (preferably) you can become a member of the community (then you get advertising only on the Main Page).

Mancala World is written from a "sympathetic point of view (SPOV)", which differs considerably from Wikipedia's "neutral point of view" (NPOV). Generally, the main article on a subject should present the subject in a positive light. Critical perspectives should be placed in linked articles.

Original research and original ideas are welcome.
