I consider myself to not be completely incompetant with the language...
But anyway, did anyone actually catch a glimpse of what I put down? I will say that it is very likely that it simply wasn't enough. It was a large paragraph of text giving a basic history of the site itself, though I didn't take much time on it.
There's also the simple posibility that it breaks one of the rules. Most likely candidate for a broken rule is simply "patent nonsense". That includes making notes about inconsequential things. For example, just making a "Hi I'm DJ!" page about me-ness when I have NO impact on world events as of yet would be deemed meaningless. I suppose ACTUAL nonsense like "the square circle can exist, even hypothetically" should also qualify. Note that the structure of that quote was meant to resemble that movie in Futurama where that robot says "relax, there aren't any humans here, we can let our guards down, even for a second".
Well, here's the deal. In the meantime, let's just start writing a wiki entry right here. Someone can make a post with a rough draft, and everyone else just run in there and edit that post like crazy. Then, we have something pretty well thought out before this even begins. Yeah, THERE'S something resembling initiative!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
