In this section, contributors submit their original material relating to Restoration themes.

The goal is to move the NR dialogue forward with thoughts, questions, proposals, observations, critiques, etc.  Try to relate your content to the future of the RM, in terms of direction, definition, scope, priorities, goals, values, etc.

A range of submissions is welcome, from formal to informal, tested thesis to novel hypothesis.  Please proof read all submissions and edit your errors when they come to light.

Even informal submissions should have at least a moderately scholarly style.  Avoid sermonizing, irrational statments, careless spelling, poor grammar/syntax, and otherwise unscholarly writing in general.

Profane, obnoxious, or malicious content will be deleted with prejudice.  All submissions are subject to the judgement of NR administrators.

This is not a forum merely to vent emotions.  Our feelings have a place in the discussion, but submissions are inteded to provide provocative, constructive thought.

Scholarly, reasoned criticism is more than welcome.  Citing other sources is encouraged.  Although no particular method of citation is required, end notes using a manual bracketed number system[1] or the built in system that creates linked footnotes[2] are encouraged. Whatever method you choose, please be consistent throughout your entire article.

Submissions are intended to generate dialogue in the comments section.  While comments will necessarily have a more informal style, the same essential m.o. is appropriate for them as well.

End Notes

[1] Like this, for example.

[2] In order to use the linked footnote method, type your footnote between the commands {footnote} and {/footnote} where the superscript number would normally go.  Note: You cannot use italicsor underlining with automatic footnoting, so strict Chicago style will be impossible with this method.
