I wouldn't say Memory Alpha is bad. Their non-commercial license
allows them to use more materials copyrighted by Paramount, and
some articles that belong to a fan-wiki wouldnt' really belong to
Wikipedia. Same with other fan-wikis, like Battlestar Wiki or The
Vault (a [[Fallout (computer game)]] wiki). I don't think full
dialogue files from a computer game or articles about every minor
character in a game belong to Wikipedia. That's why I founded a
separate wiki for that, not because I was driven away.
