- 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" (an unfortunate terms as it is generally a code word for censorship according to the dictates of U.S. religious fundamentalists and extreme right wing politicians), should here 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 or any seemingly esoteric subject.
WP minority positions:
- Using Public Domain sources without exact quotations is plagiarism.
- Point of view forks are the clearest way of handling some topics.
