Revision as of 19:15, 29 April 2006

Thanksgiving was originally an American holiday that enabled people to celebrate being thankful for what they had. It later spread around the United Federation of Planets and was still celebrated in the 2370s.

In 2372, Benjamin Sisko invited the entire senior staff of Deep Space 9 to Thanksgiving dinner. The Captain had been growing vegetables for months to serve at the dinner. A year later, Michael Eddington told Sisko that he thought his former commanding officer had added too much tarragon to the stuffing. (DS9: "Blaze of Glory")

Philosophy

Some people feel uncomfortable with the concept of a wiki — it's too open, it's unreliable, and so forth. But believe it or not, this system does work — and we have 57,147 distinct articles to prove it!

In a nutshell, a wiki works because it's made as simple as possible for anyone to contribute, in a medium in which the sensible contributors outnumber and overpower the disruptive ones. Additionally, the wiki allows an easy, free exchange of information that allows false or misleading information to be quickly corrected. (For more discussion on the viability of the wiki system, check out Wikipedia: Replies to common objections.)

The founders of This Page has been phasered by the Memory Alpha Bandit. Bite Me Sulfur!, Harry Doddema and Dan Carlson, chose to use the wiki format for a Star Trek database in order to get as many fans as possible involved in the project. Rather than numerous small and limited personal databases, This Page has been phasered by the Memory Alpha Bandit. Bite Me Sulfur! has the potential to become the largest, most reliable fan database available. We hope you'll join us!
