Issuepedia:Community Portal

This page is intended as the "main kiosk".

Self-Referential

• Issuepedia's mission is here. We invite contributions on any serious subject (silly subjects can go in The HypertWiki or Uncyclopedia), and we are not afraid of flame wars.

We do, however, need some editorial guidelines; these will be forthcoming when I have time.

IRC chat is also available:

• irc://darkness.villageirc.net/#politics - almost anything, with an emphasis on topics too contentious for most other channels
• irc://darkness.villageirc.net/#religion - our sister channel, "for discussion and learning about religious topics and beliefs. All religions/beliefs are welcome."

Ways to Contribute

Aside from the obvious contributions of writing or editing articles...

• Looking for information? Ask in the Frequently Arising Questions section. Know where to find information, or how to go about locating it? Pick a Frequently Arising Question and find the answer – or just make notes on your sources.
• Sources Needed has items of information to be verified; you can add new items, or try to find sources for existing ones
• If you find some interesting articles or information and aren't sure where to add the links or references, try the Snippets area.

Categories of Note

Most of the interesting action on this site is taking place in these areas:

• Terms of Convenience - newish concepts which needed some way to talk about them
• Issues - things about which people disagree
• Rhetorical Deceptions - ways in which people deliberately confuse other people
• Stubs - articles needing expansion
