Conservapedia talk:Teamwork

I'd like to make a few suggestions about teamwork. Since I'm new here, I do not presume to start a project page. I'll just post my suggestions on this talk page.

1. Let others boss you around.
   • Yes, take assignments from your fellow editors. If someone asks you for an article on a topic you know about, or are interested enough to bone up on, please do.
   • Conform to formats, styles, and emerging patterns of article organization.
2. Be nice to the other editors.
   • Sarcasm seems witty when you're typing, but will the reader really get the point you are trying to make?
   • Hurt feelings reduce cooperative spirit and ultimately work against teamwork.
3. Be helpful.
   • Are you good at spellchecking, grammar, copyediting?
   • Do you know how to design a template or format a table?

Just a few thoughts. --Ed Poor 17:40, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

• I would suggest that serious editors invite communication, via not only the talk page, but by email and IM, for speed and clarification of disputes and collaborative work. Team work means resolving disputes fairly, without passing them off for others to settle, or impose their will. --~ TerryK ^MyTalk 22:43, 2 April 2007 (EDT)

That may be a good thing to include as well. I strongly agree with everything Ed posted here, but some of the internal communciation, especially among sysops, has been somewhat wanting. MountainDew 16:55, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

Given the current state of some talk pages, what is the correct method for communicating with these individuals? Not everyone has email or IM available. --Mtur 16:57, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

I'd like to encourage more users to make their names available. MountainDew 17:24, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

• If you go to the account creation page, I recently noticed that the email field is now listed as mandatory. Some unannounced change, it seems. And who using Conservapedia would not have email or IM available, except by choice? --~ Sysop-TerryK ^MyTalk 17:23, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
