This is DetroitWiki, a publicly editable website about Detroit-related information. The site is a collection of information, memories, facts, figures, and visions of anything local.

To get involved, just start making some changes. Add some information, create a page, edit in corrections.

The details

DetroitWiki is a collaboration between people like you -- any visitor can add information to any page. You can learn more about editing this wiki in Help:Editing. You can also re-use any of the information you find here. All the content is available under a Creative Commons Attribution License. ​

DetroitWiki is not a non-profit, nor is it a structured organization. It's an ad-hoc group of folks who have developed a place to record information.

This project will never require you to create an account, but you help add credibility when you log in. We will never charge a fee to post here, nor do we have any advertisements. We attempt to avoid suspiciously upbeat articles.

The progress & the plan

Our goal is to grow organically. We're starting a push to have 1,000 articles (we had about 500 in April 2012) -- with a significant number of them being fairly thorough, with photos, maps, and good writing. Check out our progress on the dashboard.
