| − | [[Image:Policy.png|left]]All constructive edits are welcome. We depend on visitors to share their knowledge. The concept of making constructive edits goes along with the fact that we [[Assume Good Faith]]. We believe that everyone who makes an edit or creates a page is doing so to provide informative, educational and accurate information.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''Any edit should always be able to answer '''"Yes"''' to the question: '''"Does this edit make it better for the next reader?"'''''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Some examples of constructive edits include:
| |
| − | * Creating a better representation of the website on its AboutUs [[domain page]]:
| |
| − | * Mentioning something interesting about the site that others might not know.
| |
| − | * Fixing an out of date address, email or phone number is very helpful!
| |
| − | * Letting the community know what your edit is and why you made it via your [[EditSummary|edit summary]].
| |
| − | * Letting the community know if a page is [[Template:NoWebsite|no longer a website]], [[PossibleAdultContent|adult content]], a [[Template:PossibleSpamSite|spam site]], etc.
| |
| − | * Adding a Review. If you have experience with the website or company, use the [[Influence Us]] feature to give them constructive feedback to improve.
| |
| − | * Defining a term so it can be referenced by many pages.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Of course:'''
| |
| − | * Don't write anything untrue. If you state a fact that might be controversial, reference it to clear up any confusion.
| |
| − | * Don't write anything threatening, expletive, or defamatory.
| |
| − | * [[Edit wars]] are not helpful.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also, see our [[Portal:AboutUsPolicy/Editing|editing]] policies or the [[Help]] section.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Constructive edits can also enter into the realm of clarifying or reorganizing, leading to [[Self_Organize| self organization]]. This is very important because there is so much information to read that less is most often more. Reading various comments and summarizing them into a more concise presentation takes time, but readers appreciate it. [[wiki| Wiki]] technology does this very well, anyone reading an article is welcome to reorganize, add to, subtract from or otherwise improve the text. Constructive editing is like polishing a pearl.
| |
| − | The more polished the pearl - the more people will love it.
