Hi! Welcome back! I wouldn't worry so much about significant policies having changed, but more about some coding and technicalities having changed. But I don't really know, I wasn't too active at that time.
Policies can always be re-read (I recommend going here: Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-searchoptions and checking the tickybox for "Search in all namespaces" -- that way when you use the search box and insert keywords relevant to the policy you're looking for, it'll show pages from the Wikipedia namespace on the first try).
Good luck with the WikiProject! — Jeraphine Gryphon ( talk) 02:30, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

I noticed you joined WikiProject Futures studies.
Welcome to the team.
We recently revamped the article Outline of futures studies.
It is a top-level page that attempts to map out the entire subject as well as its coverage on Wikipedia. It is intended to be a taxonomy of the subject, and to serve as a table of contents and navigation aid to browse articles (and article sections) about the subject.
It is also a useful tool for the WikiProject to analyze, plan, develop, and revise futures studies material. It is a hub from which to organize futures studies related topics.
It was built as a " reverse outline", a structural model of an existing work, which in addition to being a summary of the work, can reveal the gaps and other weaknesses for revision purposes.
Please look it over.
We need all the help we can get in identifying and filling in missing topics, whether they are included on Wikipedia or not. If a relevant missing topic has an article or article section about it, please add a link into the outline in the relevant section. Create new sections as needed.
While analyzing the outline, please answer the following questions (and fix the outline as needed):
The overall purpose of the outline is to help readers understand the subject by showing what belongs to it, and within the subject what belongs to what.
Please help improve it.
It's our bird's eye view.
Thank you. The Transhumanist 19:39, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
A page you created, Practice page 1, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is a test page. Use the sandbox for testing.
You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

OK, not sure of the best way to ask these questions--email, Project talk page, your talk page, my talk page? So still getting my feet on the ground. Nevertheless, here goes.
I've looked at the Outline_of_futures_studies and disagree with what User:The_Transhumanist revised on 05:14, 16 January 2012. Futures is not a branch of history, the definition of futures studies is wrong, and the reference to Wordnet does not exist. So my question is what is the polite way to approach this. Again, edit (delete) the parts that are wrong first or do I post some comments to him/her on the Talk page first?
And that user gets into a long discussion with another user on the Talk page for the WikiProject. I think I can bridge the differences between them, but dare I do so.
So thanks again. And let me know the best way to communicate these things wtih you (and perhaps, John) RealFuturist ( talk) 22:38, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Henry Jenkins, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Mack. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
