===Welcome Wikipedia Editors of [[Unity08]]===

I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of what Wikipedia expects in terms of editors interacting with each other. The [[Wikipedia:Spam|article on spam]] is so "wikipedia centric" it only has rules about mobilizing editors on ''internal wikipedia issues'' (calling it "canvassing") and this isn't that... Anyway, it occured to me that the Unity Movement could use some wiki people and there ''might'' be wikipedians who would be interested to know that there was a wikispace where they can write about Unity08 without worrying whether their tone and content is "encyclopedic" or not.

The following people (other than me) have edited the Unity08 article: [[User:Jersey Devil|Jersey Devil]], [[User:Sludge|Sludge]], [[User:Rehpotsirhc|Rehpotsirhc]], [[User:Nat Krause|Nat Krause]], [[User:Wknight94|Wknight94]], [[User:Daneanderson|Daneanderson]], [[User:Jtalledo|Jtalledo]], [[User:Grumpyyoungman01|Grumpyyoungman01]], [[User:Mineralè|Mineralè]], [[User:Onemanbandbjm|Onemanbandbjm]], and [[User:Appraiser|Appraiser]]. Just after writing this I'll be putting something on each of your talk pages pointing here.

I started the [http://unitysupporters.com/wiki/ Unity Wiki] and a [http://unitysupporters.com/forum/ Unity Supporters Web Forum] with the idea that they'd be good place for non hierarchical interaction and political organizing. I'm comitted to civility, pragmatism, compromise, and doing my best to refuse to "see the enemy" in other politically involved people (my preferred orientation is "friendly discussion and issues clarification followed by negotiation"). I'm a rank amateur at wikis and slowly learning how to be sort of in charge of one but I'd love it if people with more knowledge and more wiki wisdom than me were involved.

If any of you have advice or comments or criticism or would be up for helping... pretty much any input... I'd really appreciate hearing it :-)

== An Introduction ==

Hello to whoever is snooping on me :-)

JenniferForUnity is the net name I use for political stuff on the net. [[Unity08]] is the "profesional arm" of the Unity Movement and I guess in a weird way I'm sort of the leader of the "net roots" arm. I just bounce around and try to direct normal people who bump into the idea of Unity and want to do something about it towards other people like them. My hope is that something cool grows out of lots of peer-to-peer interactions by political amateurs... like me :-)

JenniferForUnity is the net name I use as the of the founder of the [http://unitysupporters.com/ Unity Supporters Project] which is primarily composed of a [http://unitysupporters.com/forum/ Web Forum] and the [http://unitysupporters.com/wiki/ Unity Wiki].

My biggest issue is election reform, specifically things like [[Ranked Pairs]] Polling and the [[CPO-STV|Comparison of Pairs of Outcomes by the Single Transferable Vote]] (which can be implemented to accomplish a [[Proportional representation]] version of Ranked Pairs), and more general "international voting standards" stuff like secure balloting, giving "voting rights" status as a human right, and having elections oversight be non-partisan.

This is sort of a scratch area for me or others to work on stuff and/or connect dots where that doesn't really work as "wikipedia content" but it's still neat.
