It's the middle of 2011, and the Fanlore wiki committee is feeling the need for some new energy and new enthusiasm. We're also short on members, so we're putting out a call: we are looking for more fans to join the Fanlore Wiki Committee!

What's the wiki committee, exactly? The wiki committee is a group of volunteers which works to keep Fanlore up and running.

Fanlore, the OTW's fan history wiki project, is looking for help organizing the anime and manga areas of the wiki in anticipation of trying to beef up the content. In particular, they want fans familiar with the material to weigh in on the underlying category structures: anime vs. manga vs. comics vs. cartoons vs. animation. As they sum up:

The Wiki Committee have revised Fanlore's policy on Fandom as a Category and have posted the revised version of the policy change to the Fanlore wiki. You can read it here: http://fanlore.org/wiki/Fanlore:Fandom_as_a_Category.

* Fanlore has hit 10,000 articles!!! We're not 100 percent sure, but we think the 10,000th article was on fan Virginia Lee Smith. For Valentine's Day, consider adding someone or something you love to Fanlore!
