Thank you for visiting the DARN wiki. This wiki launched Sunday April 9, 2006.  A lot of new structural pages need to be added during the next several days, so be patient. There will be a public announcement in the near future, but for now please keep a low profile while you work on this site. Create a new user account, login and introduce yourself. Anonymous posts should be limited to the [[Suggestions]] page. Plans for structuring the wiki can be posted in the [[Darn:Community_Portal|Community portal]] for now. Use the ''discussion'' tabs at the top of each page for informal posts. If discussion gets heavy, I will set up a DARN forum on Yahoo Groups. If you need a crash course in wiki stuff, use the local [[Help:Contents]] or for more help go [http://ndars.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Contents here] (my other project). Enjoy.

== Editorial Viewpoint ==
 
-
*This wiki will follow the model created by [http://en.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia] and will become the "Wikipedia for disaster animal relief". This means the Neutral Point of View (NPOV) is the preferred editorial viewpoint.  Controversy will be moved to the discussion/talk sections of the wiki pages. If debates become toxic, they will be pushed further into quarantine sections. Posts that are libelous will be tossed into the ash can.
 
-
*Spam happens. Sometimes spam is intentional and sometimes not. If spam looks intentional, the spammer account will be blocked. A whole lot of space and time will be devoted to handling spam, eventually.
