 ===== Quick Note From the Moderator =====
-My family and I moved to Okemos, MI in 2016 and found so many things to love about the area. I am a list person and
+Hello! Welcome to the Okemos Wiki. When my family and I moved to Okemos in 2017, we found so many things to love
-over the years, I have compiled many personal lists of local resources. It occured to me that it may be helpful to
+about the area. It was sometimes difficult, however, to find the stuff that we were looking for, because not
-other residents to make some of these lists public. I am still regularly discovering new things, so if I have missed
+everything is available online. Despite living here for many years, I am still regularly finding new resources to
-anything in any of my lists (and I am sure I have missed many) and/or if you noticed any mistakes,
+add to my lists, so I decided to start posting some of my lists on this wiki as a reference.
-please let me know and I will try my best to address them. I would also love to hear new list suggestions!
+This is not Wikipedia, so the information on this site will be less formal, but it is important to me that the wiki
+maintains a neutral point of view (([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view|Wikipedia:Neutral Point of View]])).
+I will post a list of guidelines if the need arises. Additionally, this is a free site, so no individual nor organization
+can pay to be on a list or show up in a certain position on a list. For the most part, lists will be alphabetical, unless
+it makes more logical sense for the list to be organized otherwise. When lists are broken up by city, however, Okemos
+will often be listed first because this is an okemos-based site.
+In the spirit of wikis (which are meant to be collaborative), I will soon be inviting others to help me build
+this wiki by adding new lists and/or updating mine. If you are interested, please email me for more
+info. It's okay if you don't know how to use the formatting syntax; I can either show you how or edit it later. If
+you have any other suggestions, comments, edits, ideas for lists, etc., please email me those as well!
+Thanks!
