Wiki for a better world:Writing style

From the change wiki

This is not Wikipedia.

  • Not everything has to be formal. (...)( We highly value logical problem-solving and academic thought. But we try to avoid pedantic intros - they tend to derail conversations and lose the audience. Also, we're not afraid to break grammar rules, if it gets the point across more clearly. )
  • Original research is welcome here.
  • Things should be straight-to-the-point, and easy to skim through. (...)( We welcome as much detail & nuance as Wikipedia, but it should be tucked away neatly into expandables and subpages. )
  • Not only descriptive, but also perscriptive. (...)( Unlike other wikis that mostly just "tell it like it is", this wiki is a place to bring together ideas to reach consensus on what could - or even should be. )
  • The main purpose is to inform people & organizations how to make the world better.
