THOU SHALT WIKI

In class we have been learning about Wikipedia. We have discussed that there should be rules to the Wikipedia. My professor has asked that we present our rules for the Wikipedia here. So without further ado here is the wiki-mandments.

1) Do not make personal attacks on Wikipedia. This is not a fighting ground. That is what your blog is for.

2)Articles cannot contain no unpublished researched. It is alright in some cases to mention theories if the theory is noted as a theory and is in the process of being researched by a professional.

3) Do not create multiple accounts to create the illusion of more support for an issue

4) Be prepared to see your work edited that is what wikipedia does.

5) Cite sources whenever possible

6) Give spoiler alerts. While we may give the information of a upcoming episode or movie, warn the reader of the spoiler ahead.

7) Be civil when writing and discussing articles. Do not make rude remarks.

8)Page revisions and edits can be deleted for legal reasons.

9)Material which infringes copyrights should not be added.

10)Most editing decisions are made by consensus of the editors.

There you go!
