Welcome to Rabid Reaction Force![edit]

MiraHeze wikis all have a stated 'Topic', 'Scope', and 'Purpose'. On creation, ours were:

Topic: Civic libertarianism
Scope: Educational resources, especially civic education; enlightenment liberalism (Hume, Smith, Mill); contemporary libertarianism (Popper, Hayek, Nozick); discussion of these; civic activism
Purpose: Gather resources (links, some documents); stimulate discussion and constructive debate

Zackary Palmer (aka DarkMatterMan4500) approved us a couple of hours after we requested a wiki: pretty zippy. He wrote:

"Request approved. Pretty good. Purpose and description are a bit vague, but there is nonetheless a clear enough purpose, scope, and/or topic here. Please be advised this approval does not preclude other wikis from being approved and created that share this topic, provided they aren't 95-100% content forks of your wiki. Please ensure your wiki complies with all aspects of Content Policy at all times."

With hindsight I can sort of see what he meant by our purpose being "a bit vague," but in the context of the stated topic and scope I was envisaging:

Lots (eventually) of links to other sites with relevant content and useful resources
Healthy discussion and debate about the content and worth of those resources

So that's why we're here, kids. And this is, fittingly, an open wiki - so jump in and contribute (or just browse around) exactly as you see fit. Talk soon, -J CptRabid (talk) 17:11, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
