Main page

Gobblerpedia is a community-made repository of free information about Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, and the surrounding area. While this wiki isn't necessarily restricted to Virginia Tech, it can be expected that much of the content will focus specifically on the university.

Status

Gobblerpedia has been online since Friday, February 11th, 2011. Please add (or import from an appropriately licensed source) any information you think might be worth sharing. Work is ongoing on templates that will ease the documentation of common classes of articles, such as courses, textbooks, and departments, but the templates can easily be added to existing material so don't wait on them to add material.

Editing

Be bold. During the initial growth phase, write first and ask questions later. Leaving off "at Virginia Tech" is an easy way to keep article names short(er). See the the list of categories for an overview of what's currently available. If you are looking for guidelines, Wikipedia's conventions and the University Style Guide are the best starting points.
