Showcase

  • Stories - The folk stories of the internet, some stretching into long, sprawling epics.
  • Art - The Internet allows even the most obscure artist to reach dedicated fans anywhere, and utilize their skills in unique ways.
  • History - Internet History from our perspective.
  • Books - Freely editable books and guides with lots of useful information.
  • Collections - Assorted data archives.
  • Website Archives - Archived Websites under our care.

Uploading Images

Images that are an integral part of an article are allowed to be . This includes photos, tables, diagrams, figures, and charts. Since this utilizes Amazon S3 for file hosting, we advise that you use this option sparingly.

There is a unique exception to allow images from imgur.com to be embedded. However, whenever possible, either Eikonos or this wiki's own image hosting instead.
