So I take it I can edit anything I find incorrect in there?

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).

And Im pretty sure you are correct, after Sheridan left, Ivanova took the title of Anla'shok'na instead of Entil'zha.
[B]Hehe. Then get to it.. ;)

Yeah! thats my title dammit!!! but Ivanova can borrow it for a bit, and anything else she'd like...
uhh, nevermind
[B]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". [/B][/QUOTE]
i'll drink to that.
"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.
