===Radical Trust===
===Radical Trust===
"One's words are a gift to the community. For the wiki nature to take whole, you have to let go of your words. You have to be okay with that. This goes into the name, called '''Refactoring'''. To collaborate on a work, one must trust. The reason the cooperation happens is we are people and it is deep in our nature to do things together." -- [[Ward Cunningham]], quoted in Corante; On The Crucible of Creativity", 17-October-2005

Contributing to a Wiki is an exercise in trust. You must trust the community to engage positively and productively with you in your work, and in our staff to protect your work. Trust grows with time and experience. Test us out by making a constructive edit or building out your own page, then watch the result: recognition, and the knowledge that you have helped build the commons.
== 9 Essential Skills Kids Should Learn ==


===Real People===
Kids in todays school system are not being prepared well for tomorrows world.As someone who went from the corporate world and then the government world to the ever-changing online world, I know how the world of yesterday is rapidly becoming irrelevant.


We believe that people and organizations take you seriously sooner when you act with responsibility as a real person. Using your real name, backed up by things like your picture and interests, makes real world interactions in culture, politics and business possible, realistic, effective and useful. Isn't a person more likely to join a community online, if they see that there are real people involved, instead of characters like RedDog88, Snivelcritter, etc ?

Professionalism, trust, and community all emerge, when real people are involved, standing behind their work. Using your real name substantiates your commitment to '''transparency''' and allows others to better collaborate with you.  It also creates a greater investment in your work.

Using a real name, however, is not a requirement for participation -- look around, get your bearings, and once you've come to know the vibrant, trusting community at [[ICANNWiki]], make the switch.
== The Limitations of Positive Thinking ==


===Refactoring===
Positive thinking is so firmly enshrined in our culture that knocking it is a little like attacking motherhood or apple pie. Many persons swear by positive thinking and quite a few have been helped by it. Nevertheless, it is not a very effective tool and can be downright harmful in some cases. There are much better ways to get the benefits that positive thinking allegedly provides.


Refactoring is a term common to computer programming for reorganizing and improving the internal structure of a program while retaining its exterior functionality and behavior. In the world of wiki, it refers to reorganizing and improving a wiki page while staying true to its function and the intent of its community of editors.

'''Wiki vs. Web: Refactoring vs. Commenting'''<br/>
[[http://goodvillenews.com/wk.html GoodvilleNews.com - good, positive news, inspirational stories, articles]]
Generally, when you're reading something on the web that isn't quite right, you lack the ability to fix it. On Wiki, you have the ability to reorganize and improve the page in front of you. You can '''Be A Builder''' and make '''Efficiently Expressed Suggestions'''. You have the power, but remember, in the words of Peter Parker, with great power comes great responsibility.


===Transparency===
== Cat Saves Owner Hours After Adoption ==
Transparency involves our commitment to openness and accountability. Transparency builds trust. If you are using a false name, not your own, people may wonder why. It may not be desirable to reveal everything about yourself but a name is something to build upon. Communities can only really begin to develop if the members of that community know each other.


Using '''references''' is an important part of keeping our content transparent. If you make statements on a wiki, especially bold ones, you should be able to back them up with verifiable references.
A newly-adopted cat repaid his owners loving gesture earlier this month by saving her from a medical emergency just hours after he was brought home, the Green Bay Press Gazette reports.


===Work on What Interests You===

== Why Have Good When You Can Have Better? ==
 
As I look back on my life, I realize that every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better. Steve Maraboli
