User:Jaredscribe/Encyclopedic Ethics

WP:BOLDly fulfill the Encyclopedic Mission.

Science and Art are the intellectual virtues, according to the Nicomachean Ethics, and the moral four cardinal virtues are also a propos to successful contributing, editing, and when necessary, prevailing in disputation. Cultivate αρετε - excellence in contributing, and seek the ευδαιμονια - happiness, welfare of the readers, which is the τελος - purpose of the encyclopedia.


 * Sources
 * WP:VERIFY with WP:INDEPENDENT sources while quoting WP:PRIMARY
 * WP:USEPRIMARY - but no AEIS:
 * WP:MNA and give WP:DUE weight, but don't WP:GEVAL
 * Discourse & Consensus
 * WP:Bold-refine is the best collaborative writing/editing process.
 * WP:BRDR when necessary, but WP:PRESERVE and WP:Listen
 * WP:Competence is required, Revert only when necessary, and WP:DONTBITE the newcomers.
 * If the rules impede the WP:Encyclopedia, WP:Ignore all rules. You don't have know or even read the WP:Policies and guidelines to successfully edit.  When in doubt, ignore them.
 * Content Disputes
 * Address the substantive questions of content, WP:DRWNE, and no WP:TENDENTIOUS WP:PETTIFOG while fixating on superficial aspects of style, diction, grammar, please.
 * WP:Obvert unjustified reversions.
 * WP:PRESERVE WP:ENC
 * Allegation of bias is not WP:ASPERSIONS. WP:CSB
 * Questioning subject-matter competence, editorial competence, and faulting conduct is not in and of itself a WP:Personal attack, which would be rightly prohibited per WP:Civility. And civil competence also requires WP:CANDOR. The essay WP:CIR, though, is an uncivil attack piece, and I hereby apologize for having linked to it or cited it in discourse, and acknowledge ipso facto my own incompetence in so doing.  I humbly offer this instead: Draft:Wikipedia:Competence is desired.
 * Spurious accusations of misconduct are a red herring and possibly an Abuse of process when its taken to WP:ANI, IMHO.
 * BTW, WP:WTF?

 * POV"The words of the wise are like goads, like nails driven by a master craftsman, given by a single shepherd. Beyond these, my son, beware! Of the writing of many books, there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh."
