'''What's it for?'''  It's becoming readily evident by those already participating that the Wiki is not only a great place to archive our collective history, but in many ways a way to relive it.  Who knew it would be this much fun?
 
  
−
'''How will we use it?'''  So far we've started collecting biographies of family, friends, and friends & family of friends, not to mention an admirable beginning to the complete archival of the history of the [[USS Khai Tam]].  Who knows what other great things are to come.

''So far, this wiki features {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} unique articles.''

'''Will it be useful?''' If it stopped right now, it has already proven itself valuable.  But I am getting the great impression that it will continue to grow as more and more of our circle discover the joy of Wiki-ing.

Welcome to REDdimension Wiki. Today is Monday, May 4, 2026

Featured Articles

  • What's this whole "REDdimension" thing about, anyhow? See how it came about and why it became the home domain of our family.

  • What's in a name? Enough to fill a wiki page, apparently.

  • Since 2005, an ever-growing poker tournament has served as Jon's birthday party.

  • Jon's dream car acquired in the spring of 2012.

  • The property and house at Pete's Lane in Loughman, Florida where Jon grew up is one of love, triumph and loss.

  • The story of a beloved family pet.

  • Jon has visited a few television stations in his time; this is a comprehensive list of them all.


So far, this wiki features 273 unique articles.

HOW DO I EDIT?

Due to rampant wiki vandalism, I've locked down editing to only those with user accounts, and restricted account creation to manual rather than automated. Send Jon an email with your desired login/password and he will cheerfully set up an account for you!

Where to Start
  • Is valuable information floating around your head? Many articles have been flagged with a "tell me more" because another wiki visitor wanted to know more about a subject. Do you have that info and can add it to the wiki? Browse those articles >>
  • How are your proofreading & layout skills? Other articles have complete, or near-complete text but are lacking proper wiki-tized layout code. We'd love your help in getting those writings in shape. Browse those articles >>
