<nit> Memory Alpha is a wiki (generic), not a Wikipedia (trademarked).

  Was going to post the same thing. Just glad it was said.

  the "Wikipedia" mistake came from Pegg himself. The article did (however poorly) cover your nit and mentioned it was part of the Wikia group of wikis.

  Wikipedia may well be going the route of Kleenex, Xerox, Coke, and Google. When a product is so strongly identified with a brand, people just don't care to distinguish between the two.

  should the title be changed to reflect this?
  • kevinnk 11y ago
    It should be - changing "wikipedia" to "fan wiki" would be far less misleading.

      Except the title is reporting what Pegg said, right? So, wouldn't it be better for the title to report Pegg exactly, and not corrected? Perhaps they should just have quotes to indicate.
      • kevinnk 11y ago
        No? The purpose of the title should be to describe the content of the article. If reporting what Pegg said exactly makes the title misleading there's no reason to quote him. Even if you wanted to use his words exactly I would have put "fan website 'Memory Alpha'".

    Maybe just add a "(sic)" after "Wikipedia"
