::::Rereading the Welcome page, I noticed the statement "We strive to share wiki experiences and encourage wiki folk to think about issues in wikidom." I guess you can't really do that without giving your personal perspective. I'm just so used to the "neutral point of view" ethos of Wikipedia, I extended it to this wiki. ;-) I agree that providing one's impression of a wiki could be helpful to visitors. I just would hate to see more edit wars like occurred with the entry for [[Conservapedia]]. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 22:16, 7 May 2009 (EDT)

Excellent thoughts from both of you - thanks!  In my mind, one of the most amazing things about [[wiki]] is that it can provide a path forward in conflict.  Given that a [[wiki]] can provide space for an endless [[EditWar]] - what other options are available?  Can either party think of a way to work with the other?  Should one or both be banned?  etc...  Wikipedia (the 800 pound gorilla in the room :-)  does provide many people to think that wiki is neutral point of view - but it is certainly a standard for that wiki. I am interested in this question as a community question.  I know what I had in mind when I (and others) created this wiki - and how that fits with what others think and want is very important to me.  Best, [[MarkDilley]]
