MEpedia talk:About

Needs a Rewrite
Since this is supposed to be a public-facing summary ‘About’ MEpedia, shouldn’t it include a brief history of MEpedia and the impetus and initial purpose of the project? Maybe just a paragraph or two describing the historical timeline, a paragraph or two about goals, and a paragraph or two about core principles? Any rewrite should be careful to use the objective tense in this page. Instead of saying “our symptoms”, it should say “patients’ symptoms”. Instead of saying “we want to be transparent”, say “MEpedia strives for transparency”. Etc. Generally speaking, it should make the page more “public-facing”, rather than “contributor-centric”.

The existing "Core Principles" section can be divided into public-facing statements and contributor-centric statements. The public-facing statements would be kept and the contributor-centric statements would be moved to the "Editorial Guidelines" page or the "Science Guidelines" page, as appropriate.

Perhaps this page should be merged with the MEpedia page. It seems to serve the same purpose. Pyrrhus (talk) 21:07, 26 March 2019 (EDT)

The core principles have now been merged into the MEpedia page. Pyrrhus (talk) 19:11, 7 April 2019 (EDT)

Hearing no objections, I am going to request an admin to make this page a redirect to MEpedia. Pyrrhus (talk) 12:01, 12 April 2019 (EDT)
