User talk:Rachelm

Hey, this is Patrickm again. Like I said before, your notes on how to create a useful wiki seem pretty complete. I couldn't find many more useful links other than the ones you've already used, but here are just a few points I thought might be worth adding. But if you're satisfied with your notes and don't care to include these into your work then that's fine as I think you've made many good points already. Take care!

Keep it Going

•It seems that an active core of at least five regular contributors is needed to keep a wiki alive. The first or first few individuals must be very determined in getting this process started (http://aronsson.se/wikipaper.html).

•Once in a while contributors of the wiki will also be required to roll back pages to remove spam (lists and links) as well as other types of graffiti and vandalism in order to keep the wiki organized and clutter-free.

Neutral Point of View

•A successful contribution is one that is left alone by others, one that expresses a consensus among the user group. For this, it must not only be neutral and objective, but also complete (http://aronsson.se/wikipaper.html).
