(And forgive the timing but nope, NOT an April Fool's Joke... 8)
A new Police project on the web is now live and open to all: the
PoliceWiki.
http://www.policefans.org/Police_wiki/
What is the PoliceWiki?
The PoliceWiki is a project created for all Police fans. The goal is
for fans of The Police, Andy Summers, Stewart Copeland and Sting to
document the band's history in a format that is open to everyone’s
contributions of knowledge, reference materials, and experiences.
Why a wiki?
There is a wealth of Police and Police-related information on the
internet that has been assembled and generated by a number of
dedicated and hardworking people throughout the years. But the
difficulty is that information on the band -- its history, its
members, its accomplishments -- is spread out all over the place: a
timeline of events over here; a discography over there; a list of
related solo efforts elsewhere. There is also useful information
scattered throughout decades of magazine articles and interviews
easily lost track of through time.
The goals of the PoliceWiki are to make it possible to locate such
information quickly and easily, to serve as a quick reference source
where various types of information relevant to the band have been
brought together into a single repository, and to make it so that
information can be easily expanded upon by anyone who has details to
add.
Can I help out?
Absolutely! That's what a wiki is all about. This is a project created
for fans, by fans, and won't succeed without them. In fact, right now
the wiki is mostly just a framework with a lot of placeholder (or
"stub") pages--we've only just begun to start to add real content. The
more people who become involved in adding their time and knowledge to
the project, the better it will become. If you're interested in
contributing to the project, please read through our Help pages (

) for more information, or contact sockii with your specific questions.
