- Q: Why is it when I search on "jsrrts" or "woozle" the User pages are not listed?
- A: You can set which namespaces to search in your user preferences ("preferences" link in the group at top-left). By default, I've excluded the user pages (and some other namespaces), but I'm open to reasoned suggestions for change.
- Q: I prefer the indented response talk style I've edited Talk:Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid to, what do you think?
- A: Haven't had time to read this, but will soon. I do appreciate work in this direction; development of useful standards and guidelines for online debate is part of my goal for Issuepedia.
- Q: I was wondering what is gained by articles Mormonism, aren't these factually better served through Wikipedia? Are you trying to do something different here from Wikipedia?
- A: Yes, Issuepedia has a substantially different approach from Wikipedia. Some of this is covered in Issuepedia:About#Site Role (although it probably needs to be covered better; questions like this one help me to identify areas which could use further explanation). Some specifics:
- Original writing and criticism is acceptable on Issuepedia; some guidelines will probably be needed at some point (see Issuepedia:Topics for some brief guidelines on appropriate subject material – more is needed, but I'm content to wait until it becomes clear that a restriction is needed before imposing such)
