Hi all,
I am launching a new forum for Wikipedia users. Please feel free to ask any
questions, either to me at this address or to admin at thewikipediaforum.com.
The Wikipedia Forum aims to provide a place where all Wikipedia users can talk,
suggest, comment & argue. Wikipedia itself provides no easy & accessible way of
doing this-Wikipedia talk pages are confined to topics that directly relate to the
article & conversation between multiple users is unwieldy & confusing. Mailing
lists are also confusing & do not scale very well to large conversations between
many people, resulting in full inboxes containing a large number of emails quoting
the previous one & taking up 4 pages.
Users are free to talk about anything with very little censorship, yet the aim is
not to become a forum for Wikipedia haters. Instead it caters for everyone, from
the average user confused about how to add templates, to administrators wishing to
discuss complex articles in private.
Totally free & requiring no public information that can be linked with your
Wikipedia account(unless you wish it to be), there will be a minimal amount of
moderation, but only to ensure there are no personal attacks & insults-criticism &
complaints are perfectly welcome-they make Wikipedia better for all of us.
The forum is at www.thewikipediaforum.com. Please visit & join in.
Thanks!
