Communicating productively with other editors
When communicating with other editors, you want them to feel comfortable with communicating with you. This shall be a review of appropriate behavior for Wikipedia; it is a mandatory lesson in my adoption program.


 * WP:NPA - Please do not purposefully insult or disparage other users.
 * WP:CIVIL - Remember to maintain a respect for wiki policy, and to be nice to other users.
 * WP:AGF - Assume good faith. If an unconstructive edit appears as so that the user making it did not mean for the edit to be unconstructive, please assume that the edit was made in good faith.
 * WP:HA - Harassment is totally unacceptable here on Wikipedia.
 * WP:COOL - Remember to stay cool to stay cool when the editing gets hot, that is, when things begin to escalate into heated debate. The founder's talk page and the Administrators' Noticeboard are common locations for heated debate.
 * WP:OUTING - Posting personal information about other users is not only utterly unacceptable, but also poses a potential danger to the user being outed. Attempts to out other users require immediate oversight (permanent deletion of edits), and a long-term – if not permanent – block on the user perpetrating the outing.
 * WP:TROLL - Don't purposefully anger or upset other users, please.
 * WP:DICK - Abide by that and all other behavioral polices are unnecessary.

Failure to comply with the above behavioral requirements may lead to you being blocked, or in extreme cases banned. -- Dylan 620  (contribs, logs)help us! 14:33, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
