The goal of the PoliceWiki is for fans of The Police, Andy Summers, Stewart Copeland and Sting (and Henry Padovani too!) to have a place to document the band's history in a format that is open to everyone's contributions of knowledge, reference materials and experiences.
There is a wealth of Police and Police-related information on the internet that has been assembled and generated by dedicated and hardworking fans throughout the years. But the difficulty is that information on the band -- its history, its members, its accomplishments -- is spread out all over the place: a timeline of events over here; a discography over there; a list of related solo efforts elsewhere. There is also useful information scattered throughout decades of magazine articles and interviews easily lost track of through time and websites disappearing.
With the PoliceWiki we wish to make it possible to locate such information quickly and easily, to serve as a quick reference source where various types of information relevant to the band have been brought together into a single repository, and to make it so that information can be easily expanded upon, corrected or added by anyone who has details to share.
Please see PoliceWiki:About for more information on the history, goals, and approach of the project, and our Help pages for specific details on getting started.
