Writing should be impersonal, a-temporal and non-geographically centered. For instance, an article shouldn't be written using 'I', 'me', 'mine' or 'ours', nor assume the reader is in the USA or Europe, nor that assume the present year for the reader is 2024. Writing should be in the style of an encyclopedia, where being useful and informative is the primary objective. Evidence should be given in the form of Citations (see above) and attributed quotations. Anecdotes are strongly discouraged, as are stories unless quoted to elucidate a point. | Writing should be impersonal, a-temporal and non-geographically centered.

Remember to always ask (thanks Christina See): | |||
* Will this be helpful when systems collapse? | |||
* Is this a topic that is accessible and applicable to more than a few? | |||
* Is this practical or theoretical? | |||
