My Name is Earl Wiki is a free source of information about the television series My Name is Earl. The site is a wiki, meaning that anyone can contribute, including you. We hope that we can build the best source for My Name is Earl information around.
Looking around[]
A better way to explain Earl Wiki is to call it an encyclopedia. There are several ways of reaching the articles on Earl Wiki and they are all designed to make it as easy as possible for you to see what you want to see.
- Surfing: The Main Page has a series of links to different categories of information: Episodes, Characters, DVDs, and so on. Each article also links to many others.
- Searching: Another way to look around is to use the Search Box on the left-hand side of each page. Type into the search box as you would on any search engine.
- Random: If you are not looking for a specific article, try Random Data.
WARNING: Earl Wiki contains spoilers on episodes of the show that have already aired. If you have not seen an episode and you do not want to know what happens, browse with caution. We will only allow articles about episodes to be made once that episode has been officially broadcast.
What is a wiki?[]
The idea of a Wiki is that everyone and anyone can contribute. Some people do not like this idea as they believe that it is too open and therefore unreliable. However, there are hundreds of Wikis including the Wiki Encyclopedia Wikipedia. We ourselves have 621 articles!
The founders of Earl Wiki decided to make this project a wiki because we wanted to get all My Name is Earl fans involved. We hope that you will join us and help us make this a database to be proud of. Don't hesitate to make a change if you see a need. Any kind of mistake can be easily corrected with the Wiki system. Be bold!
An important thing to remember about the Wiki system is that the genuine, good users far outnumber the disruptive users. However much vandals try to destroy the work of Earl Wiki, we can replace their damage with minimum effort. Note: We have a zero tolerance policy toward vandalism; however, honest mistakes are not vandalism.
