Etiquette

I hope I didn't violate CZ ettiquete there. I came over from WP not so long ago, where if I write anything, it ends up being modified faster than I can blink! (Well, okay, that's an exaggeration.) Greg Woodhouse 09:11, 3 April 2007 (CDT)

Hi, do not worry about breaking etiquette here by editing pages, I think being bold is aslo a principle on the Citizendium. If two people disagree, they should of course use the talk page, but about your changes on the divisor page, I finally agree with them, as I told to Richard L. Peterson, so there is not any problem. --Sébastien Moulin (talk me) 09:35, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

another welcome, as editor

Welcome, new editor! We're very glad you've joined us. Here are pointers for a quick start. Also, when you get a chance, please read The Editor Role. You can look at Getting Started and our help system for other introductory pages. It is also important, for project-wide matters, to join the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list. Announcements are also available via Twitter. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forum is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any administrator for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and thank you! We appreciate your willingness to share your expertise, and we hope to see your edits on Recent changes soon.

NPOV and such

Hey just a reminder that on CZ they're trying to shy away from NPOV and whatnot... basically all the crazy myriad of acronyms on Wikipedia. Also I get the impression on here "compelling articles that grip the reader" take precedence over "beating someone with the NPOV stick" :) Taking a look at your edit on OSI model it does promote a more balanced approach to the situation --Eric M Gearhart 13:53, 9 April 2007 (CDT)

Yes, I suppose you're right about that. I used the acronymn in the summary for reasons of space, but the question of whether or not the principle is valid is a different one. In my opinion, "dispassionate" would be better. Neutrality, carried to its logical extreme, can lead to some dilemmas of its own. Greg Woodhouse 14:05, 9 April 2007 (CDT)
