    do you feel we should make a serious attempt at our sciwiki?
    and do you think it should be moderated?

    multiple choice poll.

    wikis thrive on having as many edits and editors as possible. Moderators kill wikis.

    Moderators are needed to 'kill' vandals and those who input inappropriate material about the forum members and inappropriate content in general.

    I like this serious-casual mixture of Wiki, but as long as it's reasonable and temperate.

    So, we need slight moderation there and I think that we already have moderators on Wiki.
    Those are all SciForums members.

    They just have to become more active.

    When the SciWiki was just a concept I came up with one day, I figured it could be sort of like Wikipedia, but for SciForums. In other words, the content would be sorta serious. But I also figured there was still room to make it warm and welcoming and a bit informal, since it's a personal wiki. So I was flexible in this regard.

    But I do think it should definitely be moderated. Mods don't kill a wiki. Wikipedia is a good example of a wiki that is moderated yet thrives. Besides, if it's not moderated, how will we stop people from fucking things up?

    i don't think anyone is really interested in what you think sciwiki should be. The community is currently deciding what the encyclopedia should be like. Obviously in the light of your acts of vandalism of the [ENC]athelwulf [/ENC]page you don't like the way it is going.

    If you want serious articles then make them. It's is rather a pointless exercise to state we need more serious articles. Nobody is going to write serious articles because someone else says so. People do what they think is worth while.

    And that's currently not fitting your vision. Live with it. Or contribute.

    The poll is no good. The poll should be public because people who do not contribute have little to say in the matter. Since there will be no encyclopedia without contributors.

    Can we have some examples of "serious attempts"?

    i never thought of that.
    even if the voter doesn't contribute he still has a voice.

    the reason i started this poll/ thread is because i read that invert likes receiving porn links by PM so i sent him one. well lets just say he didn't like it very well.

    i've also heard that some people are complaining abouts its (sciwikis) contents.

    I suspect that next time you should send a link on bestiality instead of lederhosen gangbangs.

    Excellent. maybe they will actually do something then instead of waiting for [ENC]handout[/ENC]s.
