From TruthAboutIraq

[edit] Stating the obvious

Since I'm a technical writer by profession, I can get pretty damn anal. The easiest way to keep me from wasting a lot of time being a nitpick is to lay out firm rules for me, even if it's to say there aren't any rules. As a simple example, how do we refer to the wiki? Is it TruthAboutIraq, or Truth About Iraq? Does anyone other than me care, either way? Chris 01:21, 26 May 2007 (EDT)

Could we call it Iraq War Wiqi? - HokiePundit 0310, May 26th, 2007

I think it's formally "The Truth About Iraq" and informally TruthAboutIraq.org or Iraq War Wiki is fine. What other rules do you think we need? I'm not good about setting those down but someone needs to. Dean Esmay 07:47, 31 May 2007 (EDT)

If any of them is fine, then we don't need to set anything down. - Chris 08:20, 31 May 2007 (EDT)

Would you like to create the style manual for us? Dean Esmay 07:48, 31 May 2007 (EDT)

Hell no, I'd kill the whole project if I did. Unless someone comes along who thinks it's important, let's leave this page just like it is. - Chris 08:20, 31 May 2007 (EDT)

Actually, I will change the page... to state that we won't be changing the page. - Chris 08:24, 31 May 2007 (EDT)
