Looks good to me. Block policy is pretty clear, which is always a good thing, and letting new users know they don't have to sound like a history professor is a decent idea. Tiamat 11:11, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

It reads well enough, and clearly enough. The only thing I would think about changing is that it can come off as a little stand-off-ish, even though it does state in certain sections, it still has a feel of "If you come 'round these parts and aren't made of metal with a super brain, we'll eat ya!". This of course could just be excess negative energy of Kyhmites flowing over and colouring my view. Ezelek 08:42, 19 June 2007 (GMT+10)

That's a fair criticism. My "rough draft" is probably colored by the fact that we have had this spam attack and a lot of people have spent a lot of hours dealing with it. Let me try some language that makes the point "good guys are welcome, even if bad guys aren't." -- Graybeard 19:18, 18 June 2007 (CDT)

Well, I added the bit about correcting and editing stuff. I thought that needed to be said. If a contributor doesn't know English well enough then there are the rest of us that are willing to correct as necessary. Just don't be offended when it happens. - Brother Slamlander 17:42, 19 June 2007 (CDT)

Yes, it needed to be said. :-) When it comes to exposing one's prose to editing, most wikis have more pointed language than that, in fact. -- Graybeard 21:09, 19 June 2007 (CDT)
