And why is that? Memory Alpha is a project for creating a Star Trek
encyclopedia that just happens to use the MediaWiki software. As seen
in the history page, if it hadn't, it would just be another Star Trek
database, not editable by everyone - and it allows for a level of
details that would be just silly at Wikipedia. Same with other
fan-wikis. For example, I wrote this article at The Vault:
http://vault.duckandcover.cx/index.php?title=Two-headed_bear
and I would definitely vote for the deletion of such article if it
were created at Wikipedia.
Although I am sure there are articles in Memory Alpha that would not
be suitable for Wikipedia, I have not yet found one.
