Thomas, this article is totally NOT a CZ article. I will let you move it to an appropriate place in the Forums, along with other material from your User Page if warranted, or I will delete it entirely. Hayford Peirce 19:22, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- You should definitely read this forum thread.
- CZ:Areas for reform is quite the similar, by the way. --Peter Schmitt 19:57, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thomas is apparently being unresponsive to my request and now says on his own talk page that there is a 90% chance that he will leave Citizendium. Hope that he doesn't, but in the meantime I am going to delete this article, which, when you think about it, is actually the sort of entry one might find in a Blog, not an Encyclopedia. Thomas doesn't seem to understand that it is the Forums where opinions are expressed, not in Citizendium articles. Hayford Peirce 23:56, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- It would have been sufficient to move it back to his user (talk) space (and delete the redirect) where such material is suitable. (Well, it is still there -- hidden in the history -- but nevertheless.)
- By the way, the argument that the two pages are not encyclopedic is not conclusive because the CZ namespace is not the encyclopedia. But it does not really fit in there, either, even though it addresses CZ policy. --Peter Schmitt 00:28, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- As Peter suggests, there are not absolute guidelines for the CZ space. Yes, the Forum would be the more conventional space for this, but I also can understand that the Forums are intuitive and comfortable to some, but not others. (Personally, I used that exact Forum software before I ever came to Citizendium, and didn't like it except for moderated support).
- I would like to find a mutually satisfactory resolution. Even though I disagree with some of Tom's ideas, I think his enthusiasm and desire to contribute is real -- as opposed to some people that contributed far less and argued/vandalized far more, I'd like to see that enthusiasm challenged. We can't hemorrhage more people that write content, and that's happening.
- Of course, the stalled Ch*r*t*r has absolutely nothing to do with our problems of governance, and we have all seen how congenial a place the Forums are to come and reason together.Howard C. Berkowitz 00:48, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
