Forum:CT Archive/Wookieepedia - Reference Desk

Forums &gt; Consensus track &gt; 

The idea of creating something similar to the Wikipedia Reference Desk has come up before, but nothing has ever come of it. And yet we persist in trying to stifle what we perceive as "irrelevant" topics on the Senate Hall and article talk pages. I think it may be time to create a reference desk of our own.

Obviously, it would need rules, and it would need a Star-Warsy name.

I'm opening this Consensus Track thread to determine if there is support for this idea. If there is, this thread will serve as a brainstorming topic for the format, rules, and name for this area.

So first, let's see if we all feel like we need this. -- Darth Culator  (Talk)(Kills) 14:26, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Darth Culator  (Talk)(Kills) 14:26, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I heartily endorse this service or product. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 14:33, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * Let's avoid names already used by other SW sites or publications. For example, LFL themselves have already used "Ask the Jedi Council."

Proposed rules

 * These are all I can think of at the moment:
 * No versus threads. Meaning no "Palpatine vs Nihilus" or "Executor vs Viscount" or anything like that.
 * No questions about other universes. In some ways an extension of the previous rule. No "Death Star vs Borg."
 * Answers must be independently verifiable. With page numbers, if possible.
 * No wild fan theories. I'm not naming names, but you all know what I'm talking about. -- Darth Culator  (Talk)(Kills) 14:26, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * So, anybody else want to throw in their two credits? -- Darth Culator  (Talk)(Kills) 14:26, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
