Civility (WP:CIV)

 * Participate respectfully, and with consideration
 * Do not dismiss the opinions of others
 * Present concise and coherent arguments, do not attack others
 * Be professional
 * If you are uncivil, use to strikeout your previous comments, or quietly retract your comments, and reword (WP:RUC)
 * Ensure your edit summaries are clear, concise and use neutral language (WP:ESDOS)
 * If you run into issues with disputes, use the third opinion (WP:3O) page, followed by the dispute resolution noticeboard (WP:DRN), and finally ask an admin.
 * In any emergency situations (hate speech, legal threats, illegal activity), see WP:EMERGENCY
 * Refer to Reverting for advice on reversion, but revert vandalism on sitght

Consensus (WP:CON)

 * Consensus sees editors deciding whether a version of a page is satisfactory


 * All edits should be explained, with clear edit summaries, or by talk page (WP:EDITCON, WP:DISCUSSCONSENSUS)
 * Ensure you do not revert without talking through an issue on its talk page (WP:TALKDONTREVERT)
 * Get an outside opinion if you are unsure (see above)

Content resolution (WP:CONTENTDISPUTE)

 * Do not edit war - discuss the issue with the opposing editor
 * Focus on editor conduct during disputes, not editor conduct - the content, not the contributor
 * Disengage from a dispute if it is overwhelming
 * For emergency content removal of personal information, you can request oversight (WP:RFO)

Conduct resolution (WP:RUCD)

 * Discuss the conduct with the other editor, on their own talk page rather that article talk page
 * Multiple places are available for different categories of issue:
 * the administrator's noticeboard for incidents (WP:ANI, for general issues)
 * the edit warring noticeboard (WP:AN3)
 * sockpuppet investigations (WP:SPI)
 * administator intervention against vandalism (WP:AIV) usernames for administrator attention (WP:UAA)
 * ...and the Arbitration Committee (WP:AC) - but this as a final resort for serious disputes

Edit warring (WP:WAR)

 * Edit wars occur when users disagree with content of a page, repeatedly overriding the other's edits
 * Disputing editors should reach consensus, or pursue dispute resolution
 * The three-revert rule (WP:3RR) states that an editor should not revert more than three times within 24 hours - with some exceptions like vandalism or policy violations
 * There exist exemptions to edit-warring:
 * Self-reversion
 * Reversion to your own userpage
 * Reversion from banned users in violation of a ban - along with sock/meatpuppets
 * Reversion of obvious vandalism
 * Removal of copyright violations
 * Removal of illegal content
 * Removal of biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced content
 * Reversion of spam
 * Edit wars can be avoided by opening discussion with the opposing editors
