edit: Based on feedback, I'm considering changing the name to Well-Red. Let me know what you think.

Hi all, if this isn't the appropriate comm for this post then please redirect me to a better one.

I would like some constructive feedback on these articles. They're meant to serve as an FAQ-like rebuttal to common misconceptions, so that typical predictable questions (both good faith and bad faith) can be effortlessly handled by linking to the relevant page.

Because of this, the main target audiences are non-leftists and babby leftists. Feel welcome to crit the content but also the style, structure, theming, whatever. One question on my mind is if there is a good balance of clarity, succinctness and comprehensiveness, another question is whether the red-coloured links are a problem.

P.S. Sorry if the wiki name comes off as arrogant, it's really just a pun on 'red'

    I probably would have called it "well red" to communicate the pun, but that's neither here nor there.

      Good idea, impressions do matter. I'd like to check if other people reading this comment prefer the name "Well Red" before I request a change.

      It's probably possible to rename the wiki, and would be better done earlier than later in case there is an issue in the process.

    This is your website?

    Because if so, kudos to you. We need more stuff like this.

      Thanks! I plan to properly open it up to collaboration like other wikis once it's a bit bigger, stable and organized. For now I want a solid foundation to get rid of any obvious mistakes (some parts were written well past midnight) and make sure it's actually doing an alright job of fulfilling those goals, setting examples for future editors.

        I will try to promote your Wiki then.

        I'm going to put it in a copy-pasta right now...

        Until then, I'll read what you've got so far.
