I actually think we run BattlestarWiki better than or equal to any of these, in terms of quality, but admittedly we don't have as much material as they do, what with only 2 seasons so far...--[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 00:37, 15 August 2006 (CDT)

:That was the goal of this second comparison. The results bear out your opinion: given the balance of quality and quantity, this wiki stands out. However, whether my methods in determining this is merely out of whack or REALLY out of whack is the problem, which is why I ask for some commentary to correct. If we should compare other wikis other than what I've listed, I'll be happy to amend this. As far as the "extended universe" stuff: Each SF universe handles this differently, as does each wiki. Memory Alpha realizes (I believe) that the vast amount of literature and its ensuing contradictions require it to limit what is canon, thus, like BS Wiki, it mentions novels and the like, but doesn't enter it canonically, usually noting it under the subheading, "Apocrypha." We mark anything here with "separate continuity." Babylon 5 novel content is considered canon, and Star Wars, well, I know its generally canonical as LFL watches for certain points and limits what events, locales and characters can be handled. To draw a line in the sand, I had to restrict items to make a good comparison of quality and quantity. Even with the arbitrary penalties I gave Wookiepedia, it still shone well. If there is a way to make EU/noncanonical benefits work that don't affect quality and authenticity of a site in terms of this comparison, I'm all ears. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:45, 15 August 2006 (CDT)


:Perhaps some comparisons can be made to the [http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page Lostpedia]? Its of a similar size to the BSwiki just with like a 20 times more page views lol. And while not strictly a sci-fi wiki, it is based on a tv series... --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 04:56, 15 August 2006 (CDT)
