Bahaikipedia - new Baha’i resource
One of the great discoveries of our blogging weekend has been Bahaikipedia (hat-tip: Wendi Momen).
Bahaikipedia is a developing resource - there aren’t all that many articles on the wiki yet, but the potential is huge. Can you add anything? What topics do you think Bahaikipedia should cover? As with any wiki, you can create an account and edit or add to the wiki.

Barney, it looks like a great project. Have you come across http://www.bahai9.com/ yet? I think it is a similar initiative. maybe it would be wise to combine forces! I don’t know who runs it.
I’m not sure that Bahaikipedia is trying to do the same kind of thing as Bahai9 (my blog is registered with Bahai9). Anyhow, they both deserve to develop and succeed.
My brother David started Bahaikipedia and he is having a lot of fun with it. He loves any contribution you might make and would enjoy collaborating, I am sure. Love to all.
Hi, Michael, many thanks for letting us know. Bahaikipedia looks great and will be very useful as it grows. I’ve ideas for articles, but the challenge is to find time to write them!
I hope Baha’i scholars will set fingers to keyboards and add articles to the wiki.
This looks like a great initiative and like Majnun.com it will offer a space where people can find high quality Baha’i related content on the internet and avoid the rubbish that is scattered all about with all kinds of inaccurate statements etc. I don’t know that I qualify to write any articles for Bahaikipedia, but am sure Baha’i scholars all over will take on this challenge, especially some of the younger ones.
I’ll be including it as a link on my blog. Thanks for the info Barney.
The more we can publicize these initiatives the better.
Dear Sir Barnabas,
Call me slow (well, don’t I know you are dying to…), but this is the only spot I can see to ask a question: why the weather?
I am honoured to have made it into one of the most visible Bah
Oops! Fine, you can call me slow. I deserve no less. I just saw I’m no longer under weather but under baha’i blogs. You can ignore most of the words above, delete the question mark, and keep the hello and thanks - and the very genuine fandom. Still awaiting the photo we always spoke about with the funny toga you so wanted to wear for official functions…
My dear Sir! Slow, you? Never would such a thought enter my mind or such a word pass my lips or flow from my fingers, through the keyboard, and onto my blog. Except, of course, I have thought and typed “slow” in order to deny your slowness.
When I first met you at a new believers conference at the Liverpool Baha’i Centre, you were about 2 years old and outpaced all of us in knowledge and creativity - not to say charm. No, not to say charm!
Your suggestion that I had categorized your blog under “weather” had me searching rapidly through my categories, only to discover that you are correctly boxed and bound.
I hope your blog is attracting readers and I want to know why you have not yet contributed to Bahaikipedia…
As to the toga, time moves on and I no longer require it, but nine-pointed hat wouldn’t go amiss.
Keep well, dear Ismael. It’s wonderful to hear (read?) from you.
Warmest love
–Barney
Dearest Honorable,
From your mellifluent tongue and honeyed compliments no one would guess the things you have called me in the past, always with the prefix “you Mexican [insert blush here]“. But fear not, no one will find such things out from me till my explosive memoirs come out 50 years after I die. No whispered rumours of mine will obstruct your steady and remarkable ascent toward the nine-pointed hat.
As to my blog, it really was, as of last week, from the day you first linked to it, in the weather section. Incidentally, I just found a wonderful depiction of London weather by ‘Abdu’l-Bah
Nice site, but a word I would use is: Dangerous! If only bah
