Editing Pages / Editing Other Peoples Comments
Sub-page of EditingPages

Skelley: I am starting this discussion because I am new on SL and I could not find anything on this topic.
I created several errata pages on One Thousand and One Life and Death Problems earlier on which a few comments of readers appeared. To make the page more understandable I recreated the page, including the usable comments but not all the names... I collected the comments and made them part of the page content. Any novel ideas I left alone. I thought it would be better to edit the pages so that they are clear to understand instead of leaving them, looking like a bulletin board. Is this a correct way to do this, or should I leave all comments including diagrams alone?


Confused: What you describe sounds a lot like master editing, which generally is a good thing for messy pages.

Arno: Yes, master editing is a good thing. From c2.com: "A wiki master adds value by removing that without." - nicely put. Other pages to look at are: WikiEtiquette and WabiSabi :o) Meatball wiki has some nice pages too: e.g. [ext] Styleguide and [ext] BarnRaising. Actually, meatball is a wiki about wikis. Many useful ideas and advice there.

Sebastian: If you're not sure if what you remove is really all useless you can just add it to the Compost Heap. -- 2003-09-15
