Yes, it's like our very own little '''[http://Wikipedia.org Wikipedia],''' and it even runs on the same '''[http://MediaWiki.org MediaWiki] open-source''' software. Here, you and everyone else can share your stories and discover together what a fascinating place '''Baltimore''' really is — written, produced, photographed &amp; lived by '''real Baltimoreans!''' The best way to get started is to visit our '''[[SITE MAP|Site_Map Page ...]]''' And just go on from there! See also our '''[[Baltimore Basilica|Baltimore_Basilica]]''' &amp; '''[[Peter Zahorecz|Peter_Zahorecz]]''' pages. ---- When you&nbsp;'''[[Special:Userlogin|Join The Baltimore Collective]],&nbsp;'''you and your friends can&nbsp;help to make this project really come together in 2010 (aw, go ahead — it's free)! You can also join the [http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Baltimore-Collective/26871949824 '''Baltimore Collective Facebook page.'''] We know this all looks pretty complicated the first time you try it, but after getting started it becomes much easier and fun. You can correct or insert some facts on a page, leave a comment on a page's discussion tab or even fire up a brand new page. Anyone can hit a page's edit tab at anytime &amp; start typing away! Please don't worry about making a mistake — you won't break anything. {{site_map}} <br>If '''Sean''' is out there, we would like to credit you for the picture that you shot in the flood.&nbsp; We are also seeking pictures from all '''Baltimore photographers &amp; historians''' to become a permanent part of the collective. Leave a message for '''Richard''' on his '''[[User talk:Richard|talk page]].''' <br>{{Rotable3}} <br> == Like what you're seeing here? == You can post a friendly message for everyone on our '''[[BaltoCo:Friends|BaltoCo:Friends]]''' page. <br>And if not, you can post an unfriendly message on our '''[[BaltoCo:Complaints|BaltoCo:Complaints]]''' page. {{city_paper}} '''Volunteering:''' What we most need are editor-curators '''( Baltipedians ™ )''' who can take on a category, like '''[[:Category:Sacred Buildings|Category:Sacred_Buildings]], [[:Category:Performance Art|Category:Performance_Art]] or [[:Category:Books|Category:Books]].''' Watch these pages and provide friendly, critical input as needed, coordinate with other curators, and help in your own way to evolve the project. In wiki-speak you are called '''gardeners.''' We would also like poems from local poets, photographs from local photographers &amp; local historical collections, songs, tattoos, videos, etc — each piece on the author's own wiki page. We could also use a couple of good Javascriptors (you know who you are). But most of all we want for Baltimore folks of all sensibilities to share their visual &amp; textual content &amp; memories with one another on these pages. This is what you call community building on the Internet. There is somebody out there whose life will be changed by the work that is unfolding here. <br> {{create_box|box_float=right}} <br> == Where does all this information come from? == {{pg_img|pg_img=i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd89/baltoco/film_video/microcinefest_man180.gif}} *'''You''' *'''Search on [http://citypaper.com/archives Baltimore City Paper Archives]''' *http://citypaper.com/archives *'''Search on [http://www.baltimoresun.com/search BaltimoreSun.com]''' **http://www.baltimoresun.com/search *'''Search on [http://www.baltimorecity.gov/search BaltimoreCity.gov]''' **http://www.baltimorecity.gov/search *'''Search on [http://www.baltoco.org/wiki/Special:Search BaltoCo.org]''' **http://www.baltoco.org/wiki/Special:Search *'''Search on [http://www.afro.com/balt.aspx Afro.com]''' **http://www.afro.com/balt.aspx *'''Search on [http://www.atomicbooks.com AtomicBooks.com]''' **http://www.atomicbooks.com *'''Search on [http://www.google.com/cse?cx=001988826153262588968%3Ax5ltgmzkvwi UrbaniteBaltimore.com]''' **http://www.google.com/cse?cx=001988826153262588968%3Ax5ltgmzkvwi {{pg_img|pg_img=i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd89/baltoco/architecture/mr_boh_c2005_triangle_sign.jpg}} *'''Search on [http://wiki.jhu.edu/Special:Search wiki.JHU.edu]''' **http://wiki.jhu.edu/Special:Search *'''Search on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search Wikipedia.org]''' **http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search *'''See also: &nbsp; [http://www.baltimorecity.gov/residents News Sources on BaltimoreCity.gov]&nbsp; &amp; our [[Press|Press]] page''' <br> {{#ev:youtube|YnpofBtijF8|220}} &nbsp; {{#ev:youtube|HrvSuq1NWrI|220}} &nbsp; {{#ev:youtube|z-D0PVdqcOs|220}} <br> *'''DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION!''' **http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights **http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Copyrights {{pg_img|pg_img=i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd89/baltoco/artists/grace_hartigan_self_165x200_syr_edu.jpg}} <br> *The '''Baltimore Collective''' page on '''[http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Baltimore-Collective/26871949824 Facebook]''' *http://baltimorecollective.com/wiki/Main_Page *'''Friendly permalink to this page: [http://baltoco.org baltoco.org]''' <br> {| align="left" class="FCK__ShowTableBorders" style="border: 1px solid rgb(170, 170, 170);" |- | http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd89/baltoco/art_spaces/north_ave_c2007_load_of_fun.jpg |} <br><br> {{ #html:Template:StatCounterCode }} [[Category:SITE_MAP]]
