The salema porgy (Sarpa salpa) is a species of marine ray-finned fish in the seabream and porgy family, Sparidae. It has a silvery body with eight to ten horizontal golden lines and a black spot at the base of the pectoral fin, and can sometimes reach more than 50 cm (20 in) in length. The species occurs in the eastern Atlantic from the Bay of Biscay to South Africa, as well as the Mediterranean Sea, at depths of up to 70 m (230 ft). It is largely herbivorous, feeding principally on seagrasses and algae, and is a protandrous hermaphrodite, changing from male to female. Consumption can sometimes cause ichthyoallyeinotoxism poisoning, resulting in auditory and visual hallucinations. This salema porgy was photographed in Catania, Sicily, Italy.Photograph credit: Diego Delso
Why boldness is critical
5Pillars "Wikipedia does not have firm rules besides the five general principles presented here. Be bold in editing, moving, and modifying articles. Although it should be aimed for, perfection is not required. Do not worry about messing up. All prior versions of articles are kept, so there is no way that you can accidentally damage Wikipedia or irretrievably destroy content."
- I have learned a lot about the balance between being bold and being inadvertantly disruptive lately. The difference is effectiveness, inadvertant disruption doesn't work, when I have crossed this boundary by accident, the result is that the process stops for everybody. My clue that a boundary approaches is that the consensus process gets slower and more difficult. I want to be effective, there is no gain or usefulness from being disruptive, so if my bold editing style is inhibiting our editing, please let me know this. It does happen.
- Boldness is critical, and this is why it is so highly valued in 5P. Disruption is only transient, a shock wave that soon passes, but a lack of boldness creates insipid articles that may persist for long periods of time. A lack of boldness is a far more serious threat to WP than is any disruption, which is merely annoying and will soon end. A lack of boldness threatens WP with mediocracy at best - and irrelevance at worst. The quest for a balanced boldness is one to be encouraged. Raggz (talk) 04:55, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
