Archive:Bold moves

The Bold Moves page is a place where we can list on-wiki actions that we'd like others to know about.

Would you like to do something bold, but you're not sure if you have the right? Do you think it might be too bold? Well, do it. Then report it on this page. More gets done, and it gets done better, when people feel emboldened to act independently of others, but also when the full scrutiny of "many eyeballs" can review the work. Be bold--then invite others to review your work here!

Guidelines:

1. Add new items to the top, for ease of scanning.
2. When in doubt about whether to list your Bold Move, list it. The more info, the better.
3. Use == and == around a descriptive heading, and sign and date your entry.
4. Make sure you include a link to a page where the Bold Move can be discussed, if necessary.
5. Make your entries scrupulously polite and impersonal. Do not mention yourself or others, if possible, only acts. Use passive voice ("X was done" rather than "I did X") if necessary.
6. Do not use this page to debate or comment.
7. We should list our own bold moves. But if someone else has made what we regard as a Bold Move, we should feel empowered to list them here. Again, however, be scrupulously polite and impersonal.
8. Do not use this page to ask whether some Bold Move is permitted. When you're in doubt, just be bold, then report it.

New item

I got permission to import and re-license a lot of material (several 100 K of HTML, about cryptography and security) that I'd written for another project. See User_talk:Sandy_Harris/Permission. Some of it I've already used here, e.g. see One-time pad, but I'm busy with other stuff, don't have time to move it all in. Not all would be useful here, but I think quite a bit would.

Created this page

This page was created, and that was a Bold Move. See the talk page to discuss the question whether this should be made into a proposal. --Larry Sanger 00:31, 15 March 2008 (CDT)

Add new items to the top, please.
