Welcome to BiographyWiki
BiographyWiki, derived from the MediaWiki standard, was created to provide a place to publish, link and store Biographies for anyone that lived in or passed through Iowa and is now deceased. DO NOT add Biographies for living people as they will be deleted.
Access to this site is completely free; however, in order to prevent anonymous spamming, it is necessary for you to create a user account and log-in before adding or editing your Biographies. See the link above.
You will be able to not only add new biographies, but to edit existing data. After all, that is what a "wiki" is all about.
What is a "wiki"? Have you ever browsed online to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit? It is a great online resource center for everyone and every purpose. It is the biggest multilingual encyclopedia available online, containing well over 2 million articles and still growing. So what is a wiki?
A wiki is a browser-based collaborative writing environment, in which a community may gather and exchange information on particular topics, and to which anyone may contribute without having web programming skills. In other words, a wiki is a piece of software that is used for collaborative content creation.
In this case, the "community" is anyone wishing to post appropriate biographies and family history of those people who may have lived or passed through the State of Iowa.
Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.
