Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Check out our new en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Inclusion, for local activity!

The motto of the AIW is Conservata veritate, which translates to, "with truth preserved." This motto reflects the inclusionist desire to change Wikipedia only when no knowledge would be lost as a result.

Membership is open to everyone.

All you have to do to become a member of this association is copy and paste: {{inclusionist}} ...to your user page.

There is now a place where inclusionist Wikipedians can voice their opinions and further our agenda of building the world's largest and most complete professional encyclopedia.

This association is established on the idea that Wiki is not paper. Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, and thus has few size limits. Because Wikipedia is not on paper, it can include organized and structured links, can be more timely, etc. It also means that the style and length of writing appropriate for paper is not necessarily appropriate here.

If you feel like expressing your inclusionist feelings, you can do so on the talk page.
