Guitarworld Wiki:Policies

Rules
​
 * 1) Be civil to your fellow musicians and editors, at all times.
 * 2) Please, follow Wikia's and our Copyright license. (GNU free documentation license)
 * 3) Please use the edit summary. Doing so will help other users, admins, and YOU to understand what has happened that edit.
 * 4) Think of what is going through the other persons mind when you are talking to another user. When talking about how an article should be, or about a topic not-related to the wiki, resume good faith. Consider their opinion, but, do back down if you have a good idea.
 * 5) Do not revert users edits for no reason. Doing so will only cause frustration. The revert tool is very powerful and is to be used with:  Obvious vandalism.   Spam. When a user is adding information, but that information is incorrect. In that case, revert edit, and tell why in talk.
 * 6) Do not attack someone. Personally, or indirectly. It is very easy for us all, with such strong opinions and personalities, to get angry at someone, or to think something about someone. But, going back to rule 4... What if you were the editor on the other side?
 * 7) Try to accept something new. Also, be strong and solid in what you do. But, here at Guitarpedia, we do not just want you to hear; "We are removing (x)" and you sit back, even though you belive it's a bad idea. Please, give your opinion! Your opinion is more important to the admins than it is to just sit back, and let us dictate the wiki.
 * 8) Sign your posts. Let us know it is you.
 * 9) Use the preview button when editing articles. That will cut down on useless edits. But, if you forget, it does not matter. We all make mistakes sometimes. (Also back to rule 4)
 * 10) DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FOUL OR OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE. This includes using swear words and calling people "Stupid" for example. Some words will not be tolerated. Period. (F word, for example) More so, do not use sexist, racial, or sexual talk on this wiki. This wiki has people from a bunch of different backrounds, morals and cultures. This rule is escpessially important to keep the wiki light.
 * 11) Lastly, we want YOU to be YOU. This is the most important rule we have. This wiki isn't just black and white. The goal for this wiki is to be a HUGE source of information related to the Guitar. But, we want every user to bring their gifts, their interests, and their personalities into this wiki. As we said in rule 7, your opinion is more important than your cooperation. (Not saying you should not cooperate, that is very important) So be YOU. Be Bold!
