Buy a car for Ron Gilbert is unique, and dedicated only to Ron Gilbert, which is the subject of this page. It's also a fan based website dedicated only to Ron Gilbert I thnk it has place in the Rob Gilbert wikipage.

Lots of game designers have fan sites. "Buy Ron a car" isn't part of Ron's career or his accomplishments. It says nothing about Ron other than that he has fans, and that he made a joke about wanting a car. I like the campaign (sort of) but I don't think it belongs in an encyclopedia entry.

I agree, in a few years nobody will probably even remember this, and although one could argue putting it in Wikipedia will prevent that, I just don't think we need to do that. :) Retodon8 15:59, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I tried wikifying his biography and added details on Cavedog, Good & Evil and his current project. The article still needs a lot of work so feel free to help out! Technitai 12:51, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I just added the note about Gilbert's WoW guild. I realize this may seem irrelevant at first, but I think it is significant to show both Gilbert's continued involvement in the computer gaming world as well as the number of current gamers who have in the past had some run in with Monkey Island.
