1. Read up on the pages and see how other, more experienced users write up their pages. Keep to their format so our wiki will be more unified. Also, if you find your post hard to read, so will everyone else.
2. Cite your sources:
-Try not to copy and paste unless absolutely necessary. If you do copy the work of another or even if you used it to get some info for your article, try to do something like this:
***Example***
***/Example***
-Also, if you find external links (links outside of this wiki) that would be helpful but aren't really sources, put them under the "Links:" header. ***/Example***
-You can cite internal pages with either the "suggest links" button (for exact matches to article titles) or under "find pages" with the "link button". It will save you time if you use these tools.
3. Don't copy off of other pages and claim it as your own (which you do by not sourcing). These kinds of posts will be corrected if discovered and repeated corrections may result in account-related action on the part of the administrators.
4. If you don't know where something should go, select "Home" or "Uncatagorized" when giving it a location. Someone else will place it where it needs to go. Please try and figure it out for yourself, though, as it can always be moved and will clutter up the wiki if too many are placed in home.
5. Keep personal opinion to a minimum. Objective articles are much more useful and long-lasting than biased articles. This is not a space to flame about something that you hate. That being said, campus opinion of things can be commented on (such as the prevailing views of Ciao Hall food quality). Often there will be more than one opinion about any given topic so please be respectful of all viewpoints and try to stick to the facts.
6. Use common sense. The things you say can be linked back to your profile and if you use overtly inappropriate language (think PG-13) or post offensive or illegal material, you may be contacted and your account may be suspended.
7. Use the spellcheck. Use decent grammar. Take some pride in your writing.
If you follow these primary guidelines, you will not only be a more productive wiki editor, you will also help continue the integrity of this wiki by setting a good example for new members. Thank you and happy posting!
