Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Protonk!


The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful.

::::I'll admit that one of the main reasons that I joined WP was to work on Stargate and Star Trek articles. I quickly learned that anything related to WP:FICT could be a "spend your time at your own risk" type of thing - and have since moved on to things like NASCAR and BLP issues and gnome-like work. I did get a link from someone (Phil maybe?) about a newer proposal that wasn't quite as ... ummm... difficult to work with? I'll have to look that up, and maybe see if we're getting close to some agreements on the whole thing. To be honest, I'd likely support ANYTHING at this point - just to get some consensus and move on to building the 'pedia. I usually prefer to "include" or "add" material, but I'd be grateful just to know the rules at this point ... lol.
