in a game of charades, i would indicate this almeopedia entry as
"sounds like" (cupping my ear)
and then open up wikipedia on my computer.
is it intentionally symbolic? if so then i really like that.

I'd say so. For one thing, it was founded by the cult of the W(h)ales.

Did you even read the article? Of course it's not a coincidence.

Can you imagine the hell any of us would catch for doing something this obtuse? I'm sure there's some complicated justification someone could give for implementing something from contemporary pop culture in a conworld, but somewhere this tears the fourth wall down too far. Next thing you know he's going to try to pass off Russian as a conlang called German which is spoken in England.

Almea is already a conworld with rock bands, dyke bars, gods named after rock stars and various other jokey references to our world. The Wekipaujia thing is firmly in that tradition.

And it's awesome.
When I finish up my Caloteon sleeve, I'm not sure which rock star to model the god after, though.

Rock stars? Pff, I'm gonna make a god called Pehtowen.
