Worried about the harshness that lately has been developing, I have started a new initiative to counter that by promoting more dialogue, civility, and friendliness https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Shelter
When you are with friends you don't need to put any rule or condition, because they are people you like to be with. If each one does a little effort to become someone who everybody likes to be with, then all harshness will disappear and Wikidata will become even more wonderful \o/ And even if we don't reach utopia tomorrow, at least we'll be on the right direction :)
I would like to invite everyone to participate in this initiative and to come up with new ways to reduce conflict before it happens.
Thanks! Micru

Very nice. Thanks for taking the initiative. In general, I already find Wikidata a great, friendly community to work with, but it is better to cement this now to be sure it stays this way :-) After all, friendliness can always be improved in online communication (already by remembering that some people are more sensitive than others to the tone of an email ;-). I think we are already doing very well on encouragement and openness, but again it's important to keep this up.
Best wishes,
Markus
Exactly! That's the spirit, it is much better to cement openess and tolerance while they are there :) And just by setting up that page we'll have a place to chill out :)
Thanks Micru

Great, Mircu and All ... thanks.
It will be great to see how this friendliness focus, and related connecting, may help to generate further Wikidata and coding creativity and generativity anew.
