KorGE Wikipedia entry

KorGE wikipedia entry was initially rejected in July 2010:

For several reasons:

• I wrote it myself and that was a conflict of interests (should it be written by someone else)
• There was no Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified and hey do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
• The KorGE icon was using the spaceinvaders icon and that was not allowed

I still cannot write it myself and that should be done by other person without being forced or anything, so I'm not going to assign this to anyone.

Since then:

KorGE was referenced by a separate popular channel in the Kotlin 2021 Premier Online Event Keynote : https://www.youtube.com/live/3uVUDsoE_5U?feature=share&t=1470

Probably there are more independant sources talking about KorGE.

KorGE logo is now different (the Jitto Icon) that was created from scratch. I have also published the KorGE Jitto icon in several formats (including SVG, PNG, with/without shadows, icon and large formats and its animatable programmatic version) here in the case anyone wants to put it somewhere:

Do you have the original content for the article?

This is all that remains:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:KorGE_(Game_Engine)&action=edit&redlink=1
• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_game_engines&oldid=prev&diff=966703485

I'll look to take something from your main website.

I have seen that this is still a Draft. Need help?

@lmvortex4k if you have the time that would be great, life has just gotten in the way recently.

There’s some more info on discord but I think extra links to other sources would be useful.

I have drafted a new page, with several independant sources including JetBrains, Coding Blocks, Gamefromscratch and NoSpoon I grab from the investigations I did:

Couldn't find a link in the blog for the 4.0 release.

Let's hope it works this time🤞

Unfortunately the Submission was declined:

Ohh, that didn't work, but thank you very much for the effort 💪

I guess we could try to see what was the first approved page for other engines? There is a Game Engine listing here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_game_engines we might want to check some of the ones that are not really popular and see which references they started with?
