Compilations of various information, oftentimes informal and overly pedantic. They should be put into the category "Guides".

Some things that need tackling:

The Geektionary

The Geektionary is one of the absurd wonders of the Old Site. It will, however, need to take on a slightly more specialized and refined form for its new life here. Further details at the forum.

References

An examination of references/homages/"ripoffs". One page will be devoted to the ones NGE makes to other things. One will be devoted to the ones other things make to NGE. One will serve as a "hub" to link the two. The matter needs to be discussed further; check out the forum thread.

Pages that compare different versions of NGE

Compare and contrast, basically. In the end, these would aim to have screenshots for EVERYthing (or sound clips, as the case may be), cut numbers, the whole 9000 meters. The format Reichu experimented with way back looked like this, so maybe we can keep that. Maybe we can find something even better.

Since comparing different versions of various things is intrinsically straightforward, the writeups describing the differences might be equally straightforward -- i.e., no smart-ass commentary, as we might have in some of the other guides. As least, no "commentary" for the time being. Just get these pages into their Final Form (or the next best thing) first.

Some of the things we need:

Since most of you will not know the cut numbers, or necessarily be able to provide even provisional screenies, doing everything through time references (e.g., referencing a cut by 02:25 instead of C012) and textual descriptions to start with is fine too.
