PESWiki:Cornerstones
From PESWiki
(Redirected from PW:CS)
All of our policies and guidelines can be reduced to these cornerstones that define PESWiki's character:
 | PESWiki is a resource that focuses on alternative, clean, practical, renewable energy solutions incorporating elements of general encyclopedias, specialized references and experiments, and cutting edge research. PESWiki has a point of view, which means we strive for articles that advocate a factual point of view. All articles must follow our original research policy and strive for accuracy. PESWiki is not an indiscriminate collection of information. PESWiki is not a trivia collection, a vanity publisher, or an experiment in anarchy or democracy. PESWiki represents multiple points of view; presenting each point of view accurately; providing context for any given point of view, so that readers understand whose view the point represents; and presenting no one point of view as "the truth" or "the best view". It means citing verifiable, authoritative sources whenever possible, especially on controversial topics. When a conflict arises as to which version is the most factual, declare a cool-down period and tag the article as disputed; hammer out details on the talk page and follow dispute resolution. |
 | PESWiki is free content that anyone may edit. All text is available under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) and may be distributed or linked accordingly. Recognize that articles can be changed by anyone; therefore, writing contributed can be edited and redistributed at will by the community. Do not submit copyright infringements or works licensed in a way incompatible with the GFDL. |
 | PESWiki has a code of conduct: Respect your fellow PESWikins even when you may not agree with them. Be civil. Avoid making personal attacks or sweeping generalizations. Stay cool when the editing gets hot; avoid edit wars; remember that there are 3073 articles on the PESWiki to work on and discuss. Act in good faith, never disrupt PESWiki to illustrate a point, and assume good faith on the part of others. Be open and welcoming. |
 | PESWiki does not have firm rules besides the general principles elucidated here. Be bold in editing, moving, and modifying articles, because the joy of editing is that although it should be aimed for, perfection is not required. And do not worry about messing up. All prior versions of articles are kept, so there is no way that you can accidentally damage PESWiki or irretrievably destroy content. But remember — whatever you write here will be preserved for posterity. |
