Introduction

The **QME Wiki** is expertly administered and curated by **The Quincy Examiner webmaster**, serving as both steward and storyteller of the beloved *Quincy, M.E.* series. Drawing on the authority of *The Quincy Examiner* website (which launched on October 3, 1996, and resurfaced online around October 3, 2020) :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}, the webmaster ensures that the spirit, nuance, and legacy of Jack Klugman’s iconic coroner live on.

A Passionate Steward

From the outset, the webmaster’s vision has been clear: treat Quincy not merely as entertainment, but as an enduring social commentary. As stated on the "About" page:

> “Quincy represents a style of good television drama writing … this site has been designed as something of a haven for the Quincy fanatic.” :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

This sense of mission—coupled with the revival of the site decades apart—demonstrates a deep, ongoing love for the show.

Fan‑Driven Ecosystem

The webmaster fosters a vibrant fan community through multiple platforms:

• **Linktree** acts as a central hub, connecting fans to *The Quincy Examiner* website, social media (Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Bluesky, X, Threads, YouTube), and the **Buy Me a Coffee** funding page :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.
• The **Buy Me a Coffee** page invites fans to support site upkeep with a friendly “coffee” donation (approximately $3 each), directly fueling fresh episodes reviews, archival exploration, and technical enhancements :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.

Editorial & Community Highlights

Over decades, the webmaster has built something more than just a wiki:

• A **rich episode archive**, spanning full-season guides from 1976–1983, with expert analysis under headers like *“Murder on Ice”* and thematic deep dives :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.
• A **For the Fans by Fans** section showcasing heartfelt community stories—like a crew member’s visit to the LA coroner’s office (Robert Crais) and an emotional set visit with Jack Klugman in 1979 (Steve Vertlieb) :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.
• Exclusive **trivia**, such as Quincy’s sailboat, “Fiji,” from the episode *“Hit and Run at Danny’s”* :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}.

Governance & Stewardship

Under the webmaster’s guidance, the QME Wiki and broader site maintain strong standards:

• **Curation by invitation**—editing remains restricted to admins, preserving page integrity and scholarly tone.
• **Content protection**—copyrighted materials are used under fair‑use for educational critique, with a clear disclaimer citing NBCUniversal ownership :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}.
• **Fan engagement**—contributors connect via contact forms and are encouraged to share memories or questions, ensuring the community stays alive and engaged :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}.

Support & Patronage

The webmaster's open invitation for support reflects how small contributions fuel big creativity:

> “If you find it possible to support my small screen critiquing … via a small donation at my Buy Me a Coffee page … I’ll be eternally thankful.” :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

Even a few “coffees” can help maintain server costs, upgrade interactive features, and enable dedicated Quincy research.
