This page ([[Help:About]]) tries describes [[electowiki]] in the most basic possible terms. |
|||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | [[electowiki]] is a [[wiki]] which tries to make a plethora of [[electoral systems]] more understandable for [[advocacy|advocates]] of electoral reform. It has existed since 2005, and still enjoys frequent updates. We attempt to learn from online discussions in a number of [[forum]]s, helping new participants more quickly get up to speed, and summarize the conclusions of many different discussions. |

Ever since its foundation in 2005, the community of editors of this wiki have served two roles: |
|||
* The '''[[Project:Electorama wiki|Electorama wiki]]''' phase (2005-2018) - prior to [[Miraheze]] hosting it. |
|||
* The '''[[Project:electowiki|electowiki]]''' phase (2018-now) - the current phase as of this writing in June 2020. See [[electowiki:About]] to learn about this phase. |
|||
* Passionate advocates for [[electoral reform]] |
|||
* Believers in open and honest discussion about [[electoral system]]s |
|||
As a result, even though this website looks a lot like [[Wikipedia]], we don't pretend to have a dispassionate "neutral point of view" (or [[NPOV]]) that [[Wikipedia]] strives for. That said, you might find that the "electowiki point of view" (or [[EPOV]]) is very similar. |
|||
We encourage you to edit the site. Though it's possible to edit electowiki "anonymously", when you edit, your [[Wikipedia:IP address|IP address]] is revealed. Because of that, we recommend that you [[Help:Account|sign up for an account]], and help us edit '''electowiki'''! |
