Princepedia (sneak preview)

I'll post more info in the blog soon, but in the meantime, try surfing around the "Princepedia"... it's a wiki like wikipedia, for Prince info. You (registered prince.org users, logged in) can edit it! Improve it! Let's make it awesome!

Yes, it might be REALLY slow right now. I'm working on it.
Yes, it's a little confusing to use. Sorry!

Let me know what other issues you see!

You can also link to topics from forum posts with "[ wiki]article name[/wiki]" (but no space in the first "wiki" tag).

For example... There's a short article (someone go expand it!) about Mayte Garcia, his first wife...

Very nice. I wonder how long it'll be before someone complains about this. lol Just kidding. I look forward to seeing what the final result will be.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Good idea!

Will there be some sort of supervisor or editor in chief who keeps an eye on things?

My thoughts too, there is the potential for this to get filled up with all kinds of shit.

Oh cool, maybe we could put a link to this...
unless it already is linked.

The last article update was in 2006 so it may need to be updated.

I think they partially rely on folks to send them articles.

Maybe a HQ mod could help contribute to it? smile

I was just in there and found it a bit confusing,
but then I didn't spend a lot of time....I don't
mean to sound negative, but doesn't some of the
content just repeat what's already out on the forums?

and I rely on Wickipedia a lot, but it's always
befuddled me to think that another person coming along
and changing content, makes that content any more right
than what's already there...although I know Wicki is
monitored....at least somewhat.

So my question too is "would someone be monitoring to
make certain the content is correct or not"?

I know....I'm always full of questions, and I have more,
but I'll just go with this....lol
