So, somewhat outside the spirit that this page is supposed to encourage, I removed an appended ", man!" from the end of the article. I didn't really grok what it was about, and it felt a wee bit insulting -- as if "Plunge forward" is a lot of hippy-dippy bullshit. Maybe that wasn't the intention -- maybe it was.
I think it might be a fair criticism, though, even if it is kind of sideways. I've tried to make Plunge forward an antidote to the daunting and rigid structure in the Manual of style, and really encourage people to contribute. Some folks have seemed intimidated by the structure, and I wanted to say, hey, go ahead, do what you want, someone else will clean up the mess. It might be a little too cheerleaderish, though. --Evan 16:54, 28 Jan 2004 (EST)
I am all for editing, but I am concerned about how we honor the Creative Commons license. I went ahead and boldly edited Pikes Peak today, but is it enough for "attibution" for MediaWiki to store the diffs between Karen Johnson's original and my edits? <>< tbc
- Yes, absolutely. I'm working on some tools to add on-page attribution blocks to articles, but the history listings are fine for now. We have to give attribution as best we can, and with wiki, we give attribution through history. --Evan 18:19, 1 Jun 2004 (EDT)
