=Welcome to the Cybis Wiki on dendrochronology!=


This Wiki now contains at least {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles. The idea of Cybis Wiki is to gather any kind of useful information related to dendrochronology and to help us develop as dendrochronologists! Therefore this Wiki will also include material which would not fit in for instance Wikipedia because of the Wikipedia principles of '[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability Notability] and of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research No original research]. I.e Cybis Wiki is a place where you may publish also measurement data as well as articles about methods invented by yourself and results of dendrochronological investigations. Though still it has to be possible to verify statements, but necessarily not only by referring to reliable published texts, but also by reference to common practice and experience developed among dendrochronologists.


The scope of the Cybis Wiki is [[Dendrochronology]] and things related to the science of tree rings. E.g. methods, programming, equipment, measurement data and sites related to dendrochronological studies.
Some of the categories currently containing some of the most useful information, are probably:


The Cybis Wiki is hosted by [http://www.cybis.se/ Cybis Elektronik & Data AB] owned by [[Lars-Åke Larsson]] who is the author of the [[CDendro]] and [[CooRecorder]] programs. Despite the bias towards these Cybis programs, the Cybis Wiki welcomes contributions related to other software and methods as well.  
* "[[:Category:Tree ring data]]" contains descriptions of commonly available reference data, mainly such with relevance for Scandinavia. Also many pieces of original measurement data are found.
 
* In "[[:Category:Methods]]", some of the most basic things in dendrochronological practice are described.
==Why is not Wikipedia enough? Why do we need a Cybis Wiki too?==
* "[[:Category:Software]]" and "[[:Category:Dendro data format|Dendro data format]]" is also informative.
 
Wikipedia is really great and for many general issues it may be best to make your contributions to articles within Wikipedia, rather than to articles here.
 
Besides articles which may as well be published in Wikipedia, Cybis Wiki will '''also''' include material which does not fit in Wikipedia because of the Wikipedia principles of '[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability Notability] and of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research No original research]. I.e Cybis Wiki is a place where you may publish also measurement data as well as methods invented by yourself and results of dendrochronological investigations of any kind. Though still it has to be possible to verify statements, but necessarily not only by referring to reliable published texts as within Wikipedia, but also by reference to common practice and experience developed among dendrochronologists. - We will certainly link to Wikipedia articles quite often, and also reuse material from Wikipedia in articles here. Hopefully, some articles developed here may end up as candidates for publishing in Wikipedia. The idea of Cybis Wiki is to gather useful information related to dendrochronology and to help us develop as dendrochronologists!

This is the same basic conditions as for Wikipedia and related projects. Also, to enable a later transfer of articles from Cybis Wiki to other Wikimedia projects, or [[ITRDB]], the licensing terms of the projects have to be compatible.
 
'''Language to use:''' The main language of the Cybis Wiki is English, though contributions in (some) other languages (such ones any of the administrators know: Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and to some extent also German) are also welcome. Such non-English contributions should be kept in separate articles and the article names should then end with the language code enclosed between brackets. Contributions to discussion pages may be in any language understandable for those involved!
 
'''Content is number one!''' Substantial contribution of relevant material is always number one. Wikifying and fixing proper article names and things like that can always be done afterwards, by anyone. This is a Wiki!

What is to be found in this Wiki?

This Wiki now contains at least 157 articles. The idea of Cybis Wiki is to gather any kind of useful information related to dendrochronology and to help us develop as dendrochronologists! Therefore this Wiki will also include material which would not fit in for instance Wikipedia because of the Wikipedia principles of 'Notability and of No original research. I.e Cybis Wiki is a place where you may publish also measurement data as well as articles about methods invented by yourself and results of dendrochronological investigations. Though still it has to be possible to verify statements, but necessarily not only by referring to reliable published texts, but also by reference to common practice and experience developed among dendrochronologists.

Some of the categories currently containing some of the most useful information, are probably:
