It seems that as far as information about Sports Cards and other collectibles go, Colnect and Wikipedia have a few similar goals. Making more accurate and complete information available to collectors and other readers around the world is one.
So why can't we use both to complete each other? We can use Colnect to complete Wikipedia and use Wikipedia to Complete Colnect.
On Wikipedia - We can help add information in Sports Cards related articles on Wikipedia using information from Colnect. Updating Wikipedia using and citing Colnect as a source could help both Colnect in reaching more collectors and help Wikipedia offer better information to the Sports Cards collectors community. You could add images from our catalog, complete articles, link to relevant list and more.
For example:
The article of Mike Dowdle, the American football player, lacks an image. That could be completed from the Colnect catalog.
Information submitted to Wikipedia MUST be relevant, valid and accurate information appropriate by Wikipedia standards.
On Colnect - the Sports Cards catalog is constantly striving to complete information of it's items. We can locate missing information on Wikipedia and add it to the catalog. You can submit new information using the comment box or by becoming an editor.
