    Yep.

    It's a wiki. Entirely user contributions :)

    Just make sure you source your stuff and don't steal copywrited writing from other people (for instance, don't copy the Lurkers guide in without the writer's permission; you can certainly use it as a source, just not verbattim).

    OK, I guess I'll get to it soon enough. Little things like it saying that Ivanova was Entil'zha while I'm pretty sure that only Valen, Sinclair, Delenn, and Sheridan were Entil'zha, and Ivanova would have been Anla'shok'na, and the entire Drakh entry is going to have to be redone. Then I'll look around for more stuff. BABYLON 5 IS MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!

    Hehe. Then get to it.. ;)

    And Im pretty sure you are correct, after Sheridan left, Ivanova took the title of Anla'shok'na instead of Entil'zha.

    I'm starting to get reminded of what Harlan Ellison was saying about Wikipedia. Maybe I'll go and replace Ivanova's entire entry with "She's a space kitty cat".

    i'll drink to that.
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    The irony is, we have an open letter to Ellison up on the site as a project, but nobody has ever written antyhing. ;) I mean, hell, I'd accept vandalsm at this point...just to give us something to send to the man who stands so strongly against the medium. (Of course, he has good reason to, but still).

    Well, now that I know, I'll try to remember next time Ellison honks me off.

    "Ooh, Mr. Big Author Man who makes children cry can't take it when someone else says whatever they damned well please. At least on a wiki, you're [i]supposed[/i] to fix it when its wrong. When was the last time someone called him out for getting someone wrong?"

    Speaking of, is there any kind of annotated history of the Ellison wikipedia debacle? Because I once looked through the change archives for that page, and as near as I can tell, everything was perfectly reasonable.

    People write an article on Ellison, Ellison (anonymously) replaces it with copy-and-pasted content from his own site, established wikipedia member rolls it back, assuming Mr. Anonymous is just some jerk who doesn't know stealing content wholesale and putting it on wikipedia is a no-no, and Ellison goes batshit, assuming that people are just able to tell that he's Harlan Goddamn Ellison* from his IP address and the fact that Chuck Norris, Jack Bauer, and Stephen Colbert put together wouldn't have enough balls to steal from his website, so it must have been him. Thus, wikipedia is worthless.

    (Has anyone noticed that this and the other big Wiki scandel came about because people didn't respect the honor system? "I thought no one would take it seriously if anyone could put anything on it" sounds to my ears a lot like, "Well, Your Honor, when I saw that no one obeyed the laws about going the speed limit, I assumed that no one obeyed the laws about murder, either.")

    Jeeze, that man honks me off sometimes.
