Creation Wiki

[MatthewDiscipleofGod]

A Creation Wiki is in the works. There is already a lot of information in it but I'm sure if you can help the people in charge would be more then happy for anyone's assistance! By the way, I'm glad to see this new forum on this site, I may actually start posting again now!

I think Wikipedia will sue if they are linked with that site.

Wikepedia is one Wiki. Just like a certain Blog site is just one Blog. I bet we see Wiki's start to become popular just like Blog's have recently. In other words, no, they wouldn't sue or have the basis to do so.

On what grounds would Wikipedia sue us? The term 'wiki' existed before wikipedia was around. The wikipedia code is GPL'd, and so is all the content on the wikipedia.

I know that, it was a joke. Speaking of which...

From Wikipedia:

A Wiki (pronounced "wicky" or "weeky") is a website (or other hypertext document collection) that allows any user to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows that content to be edited by others.

A weblog, or simply a blog, is a web application which contains periodic, reverse chronologically ordered posts on a common webpage. Such a web site would typically be accessible to any Internet user. Part of the reason "blog" was coined and commonly accepted into use is the fact that in saying "blog", confusion with server log is avoided.

Simply put, anyone can edit any of the pages except those explicitly protected (such as the front page). You can fix small things like spelling and grammar, or add entirely new articles, or modify a small or great portion of existing articles.

Changes can be reversed to help prevent vandalism. On CreationWiki we require you register a user, but registering is very simple and doesn't require email or anything. Just an extra step to help build up identities and (more importantly) inhibit vandalism.
