I'm a lurking author. Not entirely sold that CZ is any better than WP. It is an honor (trust) based system, which creates a "culture of honor", which results in civility problems. Three years of daily fighting on WP have left me battle hardened and highly appreciative of quality expert POV's, which CZ seems to want to discourage by its NPOV policy of equally accepting all views. For these reasons I don't see how CZ is a welcoming home for experts and not just another amateur production. For now I may slake my thirst for writing Encyclopedia articles on my own private web server but wish to keep this account open as my perspectives change and CZ matures. -- Stephen Balbach 23:58, 18 September 2007 (CDT)
