Mission Statement
- The goals of the "Lost Highway" wiki are to enable the collaborative interpretation of David Lynch's Lost Highway, and to allow contributors to develop multiple interpretations of Lost Highway from multiple points of view.
- The goal of the "Lost Highway" wiki not to produce battles over "the one correct interpretation" of Lost Highway.
- Anyone can contribute to and help edit the pages at the "Lost Highway" wiki.
How the "Lost Highway" wiki differs from Wikipedia
As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia's three central content policies are Neutral point of view, Verifiability, and No Original Research.
Wikipedia's three policies are interrelated: content should consist of the unbiased presentation (neutral point of view) of content published by reliable sources (verifiability) and should not contain the presentation of original ideas developed by wiki contributors (no original research).
The "Lost Highway" wiki rejects the prohibition against original research and modifies the other two policies accordingly.
As a work of collaborative interpretation, the policies of the "Lost Highway" wiki are to encourage original research that interprets Lost Highway (a verifiable source) and to remain neutral toward the multiple interpretations developed by contributors (no one correct interpretation).
Wiki successfully set up.
