This week, we explored the great unknown with WikiProject Science Fiction. The project was started in December 2006 by former Signpost editor-in-chief Ragesoss "so there would be something broader to tie together editors and articles interested in science fiction, rather than specific franchises or media, and especially sf literature." WikiProject Science Fiction is home to 59 Featured Articles, 3 A-Class Articles, and 219 Good Articles. The project is the parent of a variety of franchise-specific WikiProjects ranging from Star Wars to Heroes to Transformers. We interviewed long-time members Orangemike and Nihonjoe along with new member Someone another.
What motivated you to join WikiProject Science Fiction? What is your favorite science fiction novel/comic/film/series?
Are some science fiction authors, eras, or sub-genres better covered than others on Wikipedia? What can be done to improve the breadth of Wikipedia's coverage of science fiction?
Have you worked with any of WikiProject Science Fiction's franchise-specific child projects? How successful have these child projects been in comparison to WikiProject Science Fiction? How do talk page discussions at WikiProject Science Fiction differ from the child projects?
Has WikiProject Science Fiction had to deal with reining in fancruft for large franchises like Star Trek and Star Wars? Who determines when there is too much trivial information included in a science fiction article? What other avenues are open for editors who want to share their overly-detailed knowledge of a franchise?
How often do you encounter articles written from an in-universe perspective? Are these in-universe articles salvageable or is it typically easier to start from scratch?
The project shares the Speculative fiction Portal with three other projects. What benefits have come from sharing this responsibility? Are there any other ways WikiProject Science Fiction has collaborated with other WikiProjects?
What are the project's most urgent needs? How can a new member help today?
Anything else you'd like to add?
Next week, we'll check out a
cold-blooded project with a warm heart. Until then, brush up on biology in the
archive.

That would be "reining in" ( rein, as in horse tack--has to do with control) not "reigning in". Since the question is already answered, this might be a place to use "[sic]". Valfontis ( talk) 02:43, 28 February 2012 (UTC) reply
