:Thanks!  I'm still getting the hang of public wikis and put some pretty generic stuff in those Foster-Powell restaurant pages.  I guess I just don't know how much personal opinion & suggestions can be injected versus "just the facts, ma'am."  I understand Wikipedia to be pretty strict about just facts, but I couldn't find a policy here about that -- but maybe I just didn't look hard enough.

Hi Brian!  We are a bunch of wiki folk, some wikipedians, but many not - so we are growing this wiki organically and will see what happens - happy you are here!!  I live in [[Foster-Powell]] as well - look forward to hooking up -  maybe you can join us at [[WikiWednesday]] or at our Monday edit gatherings.  Best, [[MarkDilley]]

Thanks! I'm still getting the hang of public wikis and put some pretty generic stuff in those Foster-Powell restaurant pages. I guess I just don't know how much personal opinion & suggestions can be injected versus "just the facts, ma'am."

It's so early, we don't really have any policies (PortlandWiki:Policies is our page where we will link to them as they are created). We're sort of allowing our rules to develop organically, as needed... and as for the facts-to-opinion ratio I think consensus amongst the handful of editors here is to be less strict about POV/opinion than Wikipedia and more into writing in an entertaining and informative way. At least that's what I've been trying to do. Whatever you write will probably be appreciated though! -kotra (talk) 01:58, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
