TheCollective
Who are we?- Any one who edits on this wiki can sign as TheCollective.
- Credit yourself as well as anyone who has edited a page on this wiki.
- Only sign as TheCollective if you believe the page articulates the understanding of many.
The main purpose of signing as TheCollective is to give a name to the otherwise anonymous content that emerges in this wiki. Signing as anonymous just looks way too tacky on a wiki, as it is already implied by the fact that it was written on a wiki. TheCollective also acknowledges a prose personality through what has been tagged as coming from TheCollective. We can start writing as we and it holds a greater power. TheCollective is the name of our collective voice, our ethos.

The role played by TheCollective not quite the same as the role played by TheEditor. TheCollective is a voice of a wiki-public, maybe in the back of the room, who generate ideas and perspectives by adding, refactoring, refining, re-working wiki pages. The idea is from Warner, Publics and Counter-Publics. project muse
Users of the wiki can join The Collective for whatever reason. It's not a club. It's a collective.
