I can't log in, but it says my username is already in use. --64.22.68.4 14:55, 29 October 2007 (EDT) (Peristarkawan)
- Are you sure? The new wiki cleaned out all the old accounts so you have to reregister. --Hamelin 15:02, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

We are doing this! Let us do it right.
I strongly suggest that we codify the rules. --Savok 17:28, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
- Alphabet: OK, the first rule is that there must be a rule for each letter of the alphabet. That leaves 25 rules to go. (Sorry, my nomic instincts flared up.) --Peristarkawan 17:40, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
- Categories: When editing a page, stop to think about what categories it should be included in, and add them if necessary. Don't forget to consider categories that don't yet exist.
- Redundancy: Before creating a new page, do a search to find out if the topic is already discussed in detail somewhere else. If you find that redundant pages already exist, merge their content and have one redirect to the other.
- Style: In general, try to follow the Wikipedia Manual of Style when writing articles.
- Titles: The titles of new pages should be expressed in the singular, with only the first word capitalized. Example: Screw pump, not Screw Pump or Screw pumps. The exceptions to these rules are for terms that are always plural and proper nouns.
