Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Science Fiction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interesting start this project, but I am not sure I understand its aims. How does it intersect WP Novels and WP Films? It sounds like it offers a forum area for editors interested in SF. Being a Philip Dick enthusiast, I see very interesting scope here. Hoverfish 20:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Many of the participants in Novels and Films are mainly interested in science fiction, so it seemed like a good place to advertise. The aims are, first, to be a general meeting place for editors with similar science fiction interests, and second, to provide a WikiProject home for dealing with the various issues (like WP:WAF) that cut across a wide swath of content but don't get much attention except from policy wonks.--ragesoss 21:01, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] sub-projects
is the idea for the WP:TREK and WP:WHO and the like to become sub-projects of this, or does this just cover "other SciFi"? or what? Morwen - Talk 17:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Sub-projects (but of course, connections like that are rather meaningless on WP); this is meant to be a project for those with a general interest in sci fi, including members of existing franchise-specific projects.--ragesoss 17:20, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- The big hole I see this project filling is for textual science fiction; currently the only real project for those interested in science fiction novels is the sprawling WikiProject Novels. So in part, this is a subproject of novels... but it seems artificial and less useful to limit the project by excluding the other media, since editors are likely to be interested in sf across media.--ragesoss 17:37, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
