Talk:Citizendium and Wikipedia

From Textop Wiki

This page was written, in no large part, because of a whiff of smugness that permeates the air. Many assume it is a given that changes to editorial policy are magic beans that will make this site a top-drawer reference, and Wikipedia an afterthought.

This project will benefit most if such assumptions are shelved.

The editorial model proposed here certainly has the potential to produce a better product than Wikipedia. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating; not by examining the recipe. While a good recipe (and good ingredients) are important; this project will fail if it lacks competent chefs. I think most of the folks here on this meta-wiki know this; but it needs to be written down.

The goal should be to be the best; nothing less.

Uh, why was a whole bunch of stuff deleted?

along with an edit summary which was puzzling at best, misleading at worst? I refer to this edit in particular, which contained the edit summary "Textop is not a cite (sic) for advertising your company". I'm curious as to which company it was suggested I am advertising.

Also, I certainly hope that deletion of material that you disagree with--you've deleted three different sets of legitimate contributions on the subject without really any discussion--isn't going to be an editing style which is encouraged here.
