Hey PE, your contribution meets my needs for collaboration. Note that I've added the code to make your reference to the 4-part model a live link to that page just by using the title of that page in double square brackets (you can see them in Edit mode).  You've inspired me to do a little structural work on that page so you can link to the individual parts of OFNR too. -jw4nvc

No one else has written here, so I am going to go and write something *myself*!!

Expressing honestly, in Nonviolent Communication, exists as another way of saying "speaking from the heart". With NVC, there a Four part model exists to help one do this. Consisting of Observation, Feelings, Needs and Requests. So, to translate the first sentence written above into an NVC means of expressing honestly, it would read as:

"When I notice that no one has written an "expressing honestly" entry [observation] I feel frustrated [feeling] because of wanting consistency and completeness[need], so I write this [the request, made to self,in this case]"

It gets recommended that when honestly expressing, that it end with a request of some sort. This helps avoid "dumping on" people, instead providing a means through which others can take in and respond to what got said, thereby further movement could come about over the issues.
