Perhaps if we saw what was ahead of us, and glimpsed the crimes, follies, and misfortunes that would befall us later on, we would all stay in our mother's wombs, and there would be nobody in the world but a great number of very fat, very irritated women. -Lemony Snicket Important: If you are unable to reach me via Wetpaint email, please use my email address; see above. Welcome, fellow Dunepedian, to Edgelover's User Page. I am Alex Stein, creator of Dunepedia, and its head administrator. I have created the Info boxes we use on Dunepedia, as well as the templates, including the "The Guild is Unhappy with this Article", the "This Article is featured on Dunepedia", and my personal favourite "This Page in Brief" banners. The this page in brief banner is my favourite because I had a lot of fun putting an article into a pair of briefs. I have been with Dunepedia since day one, and started the wiki due to my passion for all things Dune (yes, even the terrible film and television series). I hope you enjoy Dunepedia, as I have invested much of my time into it (as you can tell from my edit count). Please, feel free to contribute or browse for information. The History of Dunepedia(and a bit about me too)I was born in London, England, in the year of our Lord (Frank Herbert), 1992, making me fourteen years of age by the time I created Dunepedia, to a reasonably well off family. My mother, Charlotte, though she preferred the name "Carli", was a slightly radical human being, a product of the nineteen sixties, and my father, from sources I have gathered during his rare visits, was a musician/surfer, named Dewi Richards, who lives now in Wales, and is a reasonably negligent father to his other family.Enough said. At the age of ten, my mother and I moved to Southern Britain, into the area known as Brighton, though, in truth, it was in the suburban area called Saltdean. Here I acquired a dog, a lifelong wish of mine, and, naming him Chi (Tibetan term for life-force), continued my education in a very unusual schooling establishement, the Brighton Steiner School. I enjoyed my time at this school, with its unorthodox teaching methods, which, as far as I can gather, where designed to educate the children of the workers of the Waldorf Cigarette factory. It was in the following years, that I began to use the Internet more often, not just as a way of watching television shows for free (which I did fervently), but to put out my ideas into the world. In between playing the video game, Black and White (one of my favorites), I endeavoured to create a website concerning the Dune Universe, a vast and expansive universe that, I believed, had not been done justice in the form of a Wiki. According to my sources, that an early website had been created, and was almost considering boycotting the site that was in progress, when I took a look at the old Dunepedia, and found that it had either been destroyed, or never made. I was abound with joy, and continued the website's construction, creating categories, a featured article system, and templates. Finally the day came when Dunepedia was complete, and I set out into cyberspace to advertise it... the story continues...
