Information:
I.What is Afro Wiki?
Afro Wiki is an online encyclopedia website I'm trying to develop that operates like sites such as wikipedia. Afro Wiki hopes to achieve providing people a much more centralized area of learning of African people/culture.
II.How Do I Help?
We need people to post information about topics already posted in this discussion and to make new ones. more on how in the next question.
III. Topic Format.
topic name: This will be the topic of the wiki article and will give people an idea of what to provide information towards. Please read the rules for what topics you can place here.
[first post]: Leave reserved for me to dump code. Just leave it blank. When I see that enough has information has been placed in the thread/discussion I'll start typing up how it'd look on the wiki. If there are any objections to how I'm typing the wiki feel free to post them anywhere in the thread as long as it's not the first page.
[second post]: Info dump reserve. This is basically going to be the post that allows me to quickly look through the highlight information posted throughout the discussion the thread without having to read every single post. You (if you're starting the thread, or I) will only post in the second post information people have provided on the subject like studies/research, and maybe what those studies suggest. You don't have to post the info in the second post as I will do it eventually if no one else does. So for all of you concerned that you can't edit the second post it's fine. If there's anything you think I missed any information when updating the second post please let me know ASAP.
[third post and beyond]:All posts after that can be dedicated to discussion of the topic and planting
(Current) Rules:
I. At any time the rules may be amended. Please check here regularly for amendments as you are responsible for knowing any amendments made.
II. Afro wiki prioritizes information with a lot of evidence, especially scientific evidence. None of us host wikia, wikia is a free tool to make an online encyclopedia at no bandwidth cost. There is a policy against promoting hatred as well. So we strongly encourage whatever is posted on Afro wiki to be a provision of fact, rather than half-truths, or weak support as this can easily be argued by people against Afro wiki to be about hateful rhetoric that rests upon weak evidence. Understand that Afro Wiki cannot post every theory, idea and the like. However Afro Wiki hopes to achieve providing people a much more centralized area of learning of black people--especially for black people.
