'''My personal talk and editing philosophies.'''
I have collected these here to remind myself.
* Respect for other contributors. This includes letting very minor points drop rather than quibbling over them.
* I will always put truth first. It is tempting, especially when looking at articles for despised political figures, to really grind the screws in, but if my own edits are slightly disingenuous for the purpose of advancing my beliefs, then I can't trust CP to truly be a reliable resource.
* "This reflects poorly on CP" isn't a good reason for changing things on its own, but we should be mindful of how the site appears to potential users.
* I will assume good faith. CP is plagued by vandals and others will bad intentions, but it should be warm and inviting to would-be helpful contributors. I won't always agree with other users, but I will try to give them the benefit of the doubt.
* I will apply the principles that separate us from lesser sites. Wikipedia is a gossip site deeply tinged with unfounded rumor. I will avoid even the appearance of that sort of thing.
* I will cite stuff, even though that's the most boring part of building up articles. Where possible, I will use well-vetted sources.
* I will be diligent about vandalism.
* I will learn how to use the wiki software.
