Sceptical Leaflet Store/Archive Wanted

Great idea - such a reference would indeed come in very handy! Thanks for setting this up. I agree that quality and format must be carefully considered - and perhaps, down the line, we could targe different audiences (I'm thinking stuff for younger crowds - high school - as well as adults). In any case, whatever format, I do think this material would be very useful.
 
These "pamphlets" would provide a good rainy-day volunteer project, formatting the text into actual pamphlets. For a model, see Hank's Ass.

Note, I'm only suggesting this as a physical model, not as a model for the text, language or style of argumentation. The idea being, someone who needs a quick pamphlet on, say, anti-creationism, can print the appropriate pamphlet right off the library, fold them up and go hand it out.

Not checked out anything. Maybe links, to where the information is, would be a good idea? Only put on our site what is no-where else.

Otherwise someone could complain about copyright.

Maybe Randi could broker a deal with Penn and Teller. Giving someone a brochure with Penn and Teller on it would have more credibility than an anonymous pamphlet, or one that says "Podunk Skeptical Society".

It doesn't have to be Randi. Most prominent sceptics are quite approachable and pleased to offer help in promoting critical thinking.

On that topic, and considering copyright issues mentioned (Rjh01) I contacted Richard Dawkins. I mentioned his flyers earlier and thought they would be an interesting start for Darat. In addition I asked if they had had any feedback from people using the flyers.

The response from Richard Dawkins' website:

Yes, please use our flyers with abandon! We will ask for comments by those visiting the site the sort of response they have had.

Cheers,

Darat, on other CMS systems comments are available for each article. Would the JREF system allow comments for article to encourage feedback? Is this a good idea?

Must be a "non-tract", or some other dishonest nonsensical word to help with pretending to have a different and original approach.

I understand most of the words but I'm not sure what you are doing.

Is it the list of answers from a cryptic crossword?

Could you please use commas to separate each word as it makes the list clearer and a link to the original crossword or clues would be helpful.

Thanks.

Good work - people often forget a quick email or phone call can end weeks, months and even years of speculation! :)

Yes it does and yes it is a good idea - constructive feedback is always useful - it also allows them to be moderated before they appear so we would be able to prevent petty comments.
 
Sorry it's taken so long but hopefully it won't be long until the first leaflet is ready (hint!).
