Assistance Required For This Large Project
This is a big project and I'm going to need help. To contribute, see below (at the end of the page). The object of this project is a Star Trek page written by fans. It is in the same theme as The Cathedral of Terry Pratchett. It's a community project that anyone can contribute to. You can even make suggestions for changing or adding to this main page.
Star Trek is a huge global phenomonon. Spanning six TV series and ten feature films, it is recognised almost everywhere on the planet. No other form of fiction has had this big an appeal. Here are just a few Things About Star Trek You May Not Have Realised.

If You Want To Help
If you want to make a contribution, any help is appreciated. Here's the proceedure;
- Start a new conversation on this entry. Make the title the subject you are going to work on, and in the conversation state what you are going to cover. This way, it should prevent two people working on the same subject at the same time (which is annoying for you and can lead to complications).
- Write your entry, making sure to tick the "Not For Review" check box.
- Post a message to my personal space: U196159 when your entry is complete and ready to be linked to.
- If you want help with editing, add me as a researcher on your entry.
That's about it.
Resources
