<span class="SFPTagline"> From SCIFIPEDIA </span>

SCIFIPEDIA is a wiki dedicated to all genres of the fantastic. If you're not sure what a wiki is, please check the FAQ for general information.

If you're not sure what a Wiki is, please check the FAQ for general information.

Probably the best-known wiki is Wikipedia, which started in 2001 and which has over 1,000,000 articles on a truly comprehensive range of topics with over a half million contributors. They are our inspiration and, in many ways, our model. We know that the wide and committed audience for all branches of SF in all various forms from movies and television to books and magazines to games to UFO and ET followers contains many people with a highly-developed knowledge and strong opinions relating to that knowledge. We invite all of you to participate in creating an extensive and authoritative database of articles on all of the amazingly wide range of subjects of interest to dedicated devotees and casual consumers.

A wiki is highly collaborative, with no single author solely responsible for the creation of any one entry. We will be compiling those collaborative entries with the help of as many volunteers as we can attract to the site.

However, we've also decided to seek out individual contributions direct from all sorts of creators: executive producers of television shows, directors of films, screenwriters, novelists, artists and anyone else who has exerted direct control over an independent creation. These entries will appear linked with the collaborative entries but the material supplied by these creators will be "locked" so that it remains the creator's own words, not subject to change by other contributors. If you are a creator and wish to have a statement about your work posted in this fashion, please contact the editor at Editor.Scifipedia@scifi.com.

We only ask a few things and set some ground rules. No statements that are legally actionable will be permitted. If there are entries that become the subject of strong disagreements in which the process of creating consensus is repeatedly violated, the site runners reserve the right to make decisions "locking" entries in the same way that entries contributed by creators will be "locked" and also reserve the right to bar further contributions from individuals who deliberately and repeatedly disrupt the process of creating consensus entries. These requirements are summarized and detailed in our SCIFIPEDIA:Terms of Service and in our SCIFIPEDIA:Submission Guidelines.

The policy for SCIFIPEDIA is that only registered members will be allowed to contribute entries. The registration will be handled though the SCIFI.COM main website and registered SCIFI.COM members need only log in. A name and email address will be required and you'll need to follow an authentication procedure to become a registered member.

We hope you'll be as excited by the idea of SCIFIPEDIA as we are and that you'll bookmark it, visit regularly, use it as a regular resource, and feel motivated to contribute your thoughts and ideas to its growth.

We welcome input on what we're doing and how we do it. We hope you'll all have fun with what we're doing and we want you all to feel that you have a voice at SCIFIPEDIA. Contact us at Contact.
