Introduction

Welcome to the Fantasy Wikipedia blog for 2015!

Fantasy Wikipedia is a game for the first three months of 2015. It's designed like Fantasy Football... but instead of drafting football players, participants draft Wikipedia articles. Participants gets points based on how many more pageviews their articles had in 2015 vs 2014. For example, if you have the Wikipedia article "Pottery," and it has 15% more pageviews in January 2015 than in January 2014, you get more points than someone who had the article Norway, if Norway had only 1% more pageviews in this time period.

2015 is the first time anyone has tried this, as far as I know. I've pulled together 7 of my friends to volunteer to be guinea pigs for it. I'll put a few updates on this blog to let everyone know how it's going.
