This is very interesting. It also explains something. Until last week, my imaginary world was called Yarth. I'd checked it months ago (along with all my other made up names) on the UK trade marks site and googled it but found very little, only a couple of references that suggested it was part of some new age religion.
Last week I did a final sanity check with the google and trade marks thing before pushing the "print" and "upload" buttons... This time there was a wiki page which explained that Yarth was actually a part of dungeons and dragons. The world is now K'Barth.
I can appreciate that Wiki don't want their pages to become barely disguised advertising but I have to say that their page on Yarth saved me from making a howler of monster proportions... not to mention my arse if my itellectual property lawyer friend is to be believed "don't cross Americans, they will sue you about anything".
I have a website so I suspect the way to go is to add a section to that, as you guys have done but thanks for raising this!
Cheers
MTM
