Wiki News
October 21 I'm currently working on a calendar system so the main page can display selected historical events for each day of the year. Please be patient as I work on getting the "kinks" out!--Sockii 12:58, 21 October 2008 (PDT)
May 31 We want your photos! We are hoping to have at least 1-2 images from every Police concert from the 2007-2008 Reunion Tour to help document the tour. Also scans/photos of tickets (once used, of course), local flyers or advertisements for shows, etc. If you have anything you can contribute, you can send images or links to Sockii, and full credit will be givne for any images we use.--Sockii 05:27, 31 May 2008 (PDT)
April 25 We've been working hard to add templates to lots of pages for people, tour dates, songs, etc, to hopefully make it easier for visitors to jump in and start editing. So please feel free to do so! It's not necessary to build an entire article in one shot, just to add information wherever you might have it.--Sockii 04:52, 25 April 2008 (PDT)
April 3 New to working in Wiki code? Not sure how to use a template or how to format things properly? Test things out in the sandbox without being afraid of "messing up" an actual article page.--Sockii 03:47, 3 April 2008 (PDT)
