Memory Alpha, The Star Trek Encyclopedia, Reaches 25,000 Articles

Do you know how many lungs a Klingon has? Or the year in which Spock's parents got married? Do you know the difference between a warp matrix flux capacitor and a self-sealing stem bolt? "Memory Alpha" (www.memory-alpha.org), the free Star Trek encyclopedia, has the answer to all of these questions - and with the recent creation of its 25,000th article, it now even has information about Robert Iscove, director of the 1989 Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Icarus Factor".

Started in November 2003 with the goal to become "the most definitive, accurate, and accessible encyclopedia and reference for everything related to Star Trek", the online encyclopedia has grown in size and popularity ever since. Due to its structure as a "wiki", meaning that every reader can also become a contributor to the site quickly, Memory Alpha has attracted editors from all over the world and spawned editions in twelve other languages. The biggest of these, a German-language encyclopedia, just started its 9,000th article.

Since February 2005, Memory Alpha has been hosted by Wikia, WIKIA_DESCRIPTION.
