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 (immediately after these guidelines) 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.

CZ:Quick Start started

CZ:Quick Start was started and it is proposed that it be promoted as the "first stop" for new contributors. Collaboration on this is highly invited! --Larry Sanger 15:15, 20 March 2008 (CDT)

Main Page reworked

Main Page was totally reworked. Feel free to rework further, and to comment on the talk page. --Larry Sanger 13:55, 19 March 2008 (CDT)

Moving all "how to" pages to subpages of CZ:How To

See CZ Talk:How To‎ for a discussion of whether all "how to" pages should be made into subpages of CZ:How To. This seems to be a worthy stab to fix the general problem of how to fix the organization of our many (and useful) various community pages. --Larry Sanger 15:47, 17 March 2008 (CDT)

Reusing material from another project

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.
