Hi Brandon. Since you are responsible for running Wikia Stars, Wikia Live, involved in Wikia Fan Studio and help run a star wars instant expert program I thought you would have some expertise and advice for wikis and connecting them to real life.

The sort of wiki we are dealing with here has to be ran and treated quite a bit different than most wikis. This wiki presents the Bible as a source of truth, and suggests history through the lense of the Bible. Most wiki's will set that aside;however, since we cannot this makes a wiki a much more harder thing to keep stitched together than most. Because of this, I personally (and you sort of have to) have been working with my church with a lot of the spiritual ideas and philisophies on the wiki in order to be careful and wise on the content. There are many out there who will twist the truth, or intrepret the Bible differently than what it is meant to be.

Nevertheless, a great deal of the wiki has a lot of references to things admins are doing "in real-life". I was wondering what your advice would be on that distinction between it being something in the real-world, and it being something online. What are your reccomendations on bridiging the gap between digital and in-person communties and collaboration and when its important to have that gap. I know your answer will probably not be the most superb answer, as I don't think you will be able to answer with keeping the preservation of sound doctrine in mind. Still, since you are experienced with going to live events with wikis of your advice on connecting and seperating the two.

Thanks,
