Account history
I created the page Naturality using the accout of Jivasu. I was instructed to do so from him Christine42 14:35, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, see User talk:Jivasu. --Abd 15:39, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * And I see that you are the webmaster, apparently, for jivasu.com. If you aren't, I'm sure that someone will tell us! Given what you have posted, I don't think there is any harm, and some good, in being explicit about this. If there is, please let me know and I'll delete this revision. But I actually recommend you put this on your user page. Many WV users do disclose real life identity, because it matters in academia. --Abd 16:22, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

The future of the Naturality page

 * It is possible that some conflict will arise if someone thinks that the Naturality resource is biased. I'm not addressing this now, but if there is some "criticism of Naturality" it can be handled by creating a top level page that is completely neutral, linking to subpages that are from differing points of view. Wikiversity handles conflict, while satisfying overall WMF neutrality policy, by forking. The subpages would have a warning that they represent a point of view. But that's not needed yet, I'm just letting you know how I understand to handle such things in case I'm not around if it comes up. Remember, this is a collaborative community, and we should always seek maximized consensus.
 * You may expand on sections by creating subpages. Place a link where you want to refer to the subpage. For example, you could place a link /Innate intelligence/ in the section header where you have that, instead of the plain text. This would create a link to the subpage, initially a redlink, it will turn blue when you create the content there. Notice that I did not capitalize "intelligence." That's standard wikiversity style, sentence case is used for resource names, and generally in section headers as well, unless it's a proper noun. I'll fix this if you don't, later.
 * Often new users will create new top-level pages, causing "topic sprawl." While your subpages may refer to general concepts, pages on general concepts should not be written just from the Naturality point of view, but you may, of course, refer to those pages and you might also refer to your pages from them.
 * Wikibooks would have *only* subpages for most of your content. The main page would be a title page with links to the content.
 * I hope you are having fun, I certainly am. Fun is something I don't see mentioned in Naturality. Where does it fit in this system? --Abd 16:42, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
