Libertarian Wiki:About
From Libertarian Wiki
This is the Libertarian Wiki for use by both big "L" and small "l" libertarians. It is an encyclopedia whose purpose is to help promote libertarianism by facilitating activism. See How You Can Use Libertarian Wiki for some ideas, then add some of your own.
For those who don't know what a Wiki is, an excellent example is Wikipedia, which is a general purpose encyclopedia. Please use this as a model of best practices (with the exception of certain rules that are eschewed here; see below.)
Or just be bold and start editing pages. Don't worry about fancy formatting or being perfect. It is more important to start, and others will help you perfect it. Wikipedia provides an excellent tutorial for those who want to become more effective contributors.

Differences between Libertarian Wiki and Wikipedia
Because this wiki is intended as a tool for activism, we relax the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. In particular, literature intended for distribution will have a libertarian point of view. Of course, with any controversy between libertarians, we try to maintain NPOV. Presenting both sides of an argument should satisfy this requirement.
Wikipedia requires that every article be of general interest to many people. We relax this requirement and allow articles that are either very local or of interest to only a few libertarians to participate in this wiki.
All material is in the Public domain, whereas Wikipedia uses GNU Free Documentation License. The GNU license requires that the license appear on any copies even if modified, and under some circumstances requires that editable source be made available. This would make it awkward to use a Libertarian Wiki article in political literature.
