  • I'm willing to work with anyone who's willing to work with me
  • I like to consult on major changes
  • and to negotiate off-line

CZ possible minority positions:

  • Sensitive topics can (& must) be written about, & I'm willing to try--"family friendly," generally a code word for US religious fundamentalists, should mean anything that someone in a family might want to know.
  • Distrust of academic specialists who think too much of their credentials
  • Joint effort is usually better than the work of a single author.
  • Almost all math & science articles can & should be written so those without a degree in the subject can understand some of it--and the same for philosophy

WP minority positions:

  • Using PD without exact quotations is plagiarism.
  • POV forks are the clearest way of handling some topics.

(Relatively) absolutist position in any context:
