Description: “
The Three Kingdoms Wiki is an online encyclopedia focussing on the historical aspect of the Three Kingdoms, featuring biographies and battles as primary categories, as well as terminology, items, media and more. Currently still in the early stages, with the goal of becoming a reliable source for everything concerning the Three Kingdoms.”
As is often the case with a website before I link to it, it has been around for a little while, and is now starting to become a good Three Kingdoms resource for various topics. Why not Wikipedia? Wikipedia is a great source for information on the most popular Three Kingdoms characters, events, topics and historic figures (and should be a part of a researcher’s toolbox for these things), but a terrible source to rely on for nearly everything else due to regular inclusion of fictional events without distinguishing from history. The Three Kingdoms Wiki is still young and still needs to be adequately sourced, but a smaller centralized group has the potential to address these problems. Such could be the case for any independent well-managed Three Kingdoms Wiki.
This is also the reason why our
Three Kingdoms Encyclopedia isn’t open to public editing. We wish to preserve accuracy between historic and novel-based events. If you would like to participate in that, please
contact me! We’d love to hear from you.
