Lots of things. We welcome contributions relating to:

*Debate
==What does NewgonWiki do?==
*Research
[[File:NewgonOrg.png|thumb|Our [[Newgon|organization]] has a long history]]
*Testimony
*Personal Biography
*Profiles of groups
*Terminology (about)
*Important texts (about)
*Legal info
*Profiles of countries
*Any other encyclopaedia-type content.  


Really important stuff will also be added to non-category-type indexes listed on the homepage.
We host lots of things. Here are some examples of ongoing work:


===Books===
*'''Project''' topics such as - [[Debate Guide|Debate]], [[Research]], [[Accounts and Testimonies|Testimony]], [[Legal Information]] (much of this doubles as encyclopedic - just look at the articles/categories to see how), [[Archive|Important texts (archives)]] and [[Memes and Graphics|materials used on social media, even pamphlets]].


Please note that there is another project being proposed for the writing of book reviews and archiving of historical material from the movement. This is not to say that the work cannot begin on this website.
*[[:Category:Official Encyclopedia|'''Encyclopedic''']] topics such as Personal/Organizational Profiles, [[:Category:Terminology|Terminology]], [[:Category:Publications & Documents|Important texts (about)]] and much more.


==Categorising==
'''You are also free''', to provide the following:


We have to categorise virtually every article that we write. This is very important for encyclopedia articles.
*Relevant '''book reviews''' - within a categorized, encyclopedic/stub-encyclopedic article on the topic (please).


See [[Help:Categories]]
*'''Personal experimental/essay content'''. Essay/Experimental/Creative writing are other potential uses of NewgonWiki, and are openly encouraged. It won't get you a link on the front page, but all content should be added to [[:Category:Essays]] so it can be read by those casting around for new ideas.


==Capitalisation==
===How does NewgonWiki organize this material?===


NewgonWiki avoids unnecessary capitalisation in titles and subsections.
All public material barring personal essay and user-page content is classified as Encyclopedia '''and/or''' Project - oriented. Some project material such as '''Research''' and '''Debate Guide''' can be accessed via the navigation panel/homepage, but ''also'' enters a limited number of Encyclopedia categories. Pure Encyclopedia material (e.g. People, Organizations, Historical Events) is put into multiple encyclopedia categories as demanded by [[Help:Categories]]. All public material barring user-page content is categorized in some way, even if it is an essay in a non-encyclopedia author category as above.


==Where to start==
For help categorizing material (vital for new encyclopedia content), see [[Help:Categories]].


===[[Help:Articles in progress|Articles in progress]]===
==Working standards and technical guidance==

===Essays, etc?===

Essay/Experimental/Creative writing are other potential uses of NewgonWiki, and are openly encouraged. It won't necessarily get you a link on the front page (this will be determined by editorial consensus), but all content should be added to [[:Category:Essays]]
===ROC/SA classification project===


===Other Tasks===
'''Ask yourself''' - "on a scale of 1-5", what is the '''risk of censorship''' for this information? Censorship can be erasure ''or'' distortion on a resource such as [[Wikipedia]]. If it's a 4 or 5, let's write a nice, clean article about it. If it's 1 or 2, let's write a stub if it's important to us, and link to Wikipedia, etc. Also ask yourself - '''on a scale of 1-5''' what is the '''strategic alignment''' of a '''person or organization''' with our ethos? 1s and 5s are important topics, as are many 2s and 4s.


* We can use archived resources such as BoyWiki, GirlWiki, PRD [http://newgon.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=414], quotes from William Percy's biographies [http://williamapercy.com/wiki/index.php?title=Portal:Scholars_%26_Activists] and others listed on article talk pages as sources for future articles.

Welcome to NewgonWiki's Editing Portal!

Newgon's aim is to provide concise and easy-to-deploy material for activists roughly aligned with our ethos. In other words, we are seeking to compile only the useful and accessible information, making it easy to retrieve and re-use in online guerilla activism/the real world. We will avoid excessive self-reference and jargon, aiming to make ourselves accessible to both the public and sympathetic individuals who wish to act as public educators.

What does NewgonWiki do?

Our organization has a long history

We host lots of things. Here are some examples of ongoing work:

You are also free, to provide the following:

  • Relevant book reviews - within a categorized, encyclopedic/stub-encyclopedic article on the topic (please).
  • Personal experimental/essay content. Essay/Experimental/Creative writing are other potential uses of NewgonWiki, and are openly encouraged. It won't get you a link on the front page, but all content should be added to Category:Essays so it can be read by those casting around for new ideas.

How does NewgonWiki organize this material?

All public material barring personal essay and user-page content is classified as Encyclopedia and/or Project - oriented. Some project material such as Research and Debate Guide can be accessed via the navigation panel/homepage, but also enters a limited number of Encyclopedia categories. Pure Encyclopedia material (e.g. People, Organizations, Historical Events) is put into multiple encyclopedia categories as demanded by Help:Categories. All public material barring user-page content is categorized in some way, even if it is an essay in a non-encyclopedia author category as above.

For help categorizing material (vital for new encyclopedia content), see Help:Categories.

Working standards and technical guidance

Please see our dedicated article for more guidance.

Do not feel afraid to ask about working standards on the PCMA chat, the noticeboard, or on any relevant talk page. Many of the accepted standards are cultural, and not explained here.

What do we have planned?

See our To-do list, Mirror Project or Research Resources below for any number of interesting literature review and article writing opportunities.

ROC/SA classification project

Ask yourself - "on a scale of 1-5", what is the risk of censorship for this information? Censorship can be erasure or distortion on a resource such as Wikipedia. If it's a 4 or 5, let's write a nice, clean article about it. If it's 1 or 2, let's write a stub if it's important to us, and link to Wikipedia, etc. Also ask yourself - on a scale of 1-5 what is the strategic alignment of a person or organization with our ethos? 1s and 5s are important topics, as are many 2s and 4s.

Let's get ROC and SA scores uploaded to the articles in a pretty template!

Toolbox

Here is a full list of help pages and projects that will help you build the wiki.
