ExtremeWiki:Global knowledge center

From ExtremeWiki

If you know thing or two about adventure and extreme sports, let your knowledge be useful for others and share it here.
ExtremeWiki is a place where sports enthusiasts, event organizers, teams, companies, etc. can write articles like:

• Basics (Info about the sports)
• News
• Location info
• Company/Team/Club/Event info
• Person profiles (goal is to create worlds largest online database of extreme sports athletes in all levels)
• How-to info/tips

ExtremeWiki is not trying to compete with Wikipedia, we are more like an extension to it as people want to learn things more on detail. You probably know, Wikipedia is a encyclopedia and therefore every bit of information should be verifiable and Wikipedia is not a place for how-to articles, videos, news or very local stuff that is not interesting to broader audience.

We take all the good content from Wikipedia and extend it with Google Maps, Youtube videos and most imporantly with your knowledge. Copy-pasting from Wikipedia is completely legal as all the content in the Wikipedia, as well as in ExtremeWiki is written under the GNU Free Documentation License.
This GNU FDL means that anyone can copy, modify, redistribute (commercially and non-commercially) all the content that is created under this license.

[edit] Start writing

Writing to ExtremeWiki is very easy. Here is the quick guide:
1. Register in
2. Search for article by using search box on left hand column. You can also check if Sports categories have some similar articles
3. If no such article exists, you can create it by clicking "create this page". This link can be found on a page that your unsuccessful search took you
4. Write an new article with using following guidelines:

• Write proper English, get spelling right
• Dont use word "I" everything should be written on "third person"
• Try to be visual, add pictures, Youtube videos and Google Maps to articles
• Remember to Select categories so that your article is easier to find as it is linked to right sport
• Read your article once carefully, as you can still edit and improve it before others will do it ;-)
