Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians
The Moving Finger writes: and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
I, Merovingian, hereby establish the Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians (AIW). It is pretty clear that inclusionists here are generally Wikiliberal.
I want the inclusionist Wikipedians of the world to know that now there is a place to voice our opinions and further our agenda of building the world's largest and most complete professional encyclopedia. This association is established on the idea that Wiki is not paper, expressed by the following excerpt from What Wikipedia is not:
- Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia. Thus, Wikipedia has no size limits, can include links, can be more timely, etc. It also means that the style and length of writing appropriate for paper is not necessarily appropriate here.
Membership is not limited. All you have to do to become a member is list your name here. If you feel like expressing your inclusionist feelings, you can do so at /Blurbs. As soon as we get 5 (five) members, there will be an election for a General Secretary of the AIW. This position won't be too overlording, more like a final say if necessary. The Secretary can resign or be impeached by a 75% majority (at least). All members are open to be Secretary (so nominations can be skipped). Matters that concern the AIW as a group may necessitate a vote.
Goals
- Find and fix all stubs
- Outpace rampant deletionism
