POLICIES AND GUIDELINES
Wikipedia has no written rules, but any but any publisher who acts in a disruptive manner will be blocked or restricted. Everyone can edit in Wikipedia, everybody can learn how here.

DERIVATION

The non-profit Wikimedia Foundation operates and controls Wikipedia. The autonomous project, Wikipedia, is driven by its community. It reflects its community consensus and the five pillars show its most important qualities. ROLE

ROLE

Policies must be followed by users and are related to the 5 pillars.

Conventions are needed to advise on editing practices and how to apply policies.

Essays are the opinion of one or more editors, for which the general agreement has not been established. Essays that the author does not want others to edit or that are found to contradict the general consensus outright belong in user space. ADHERENCE

ADHERENCE

Policies Use sense when reading and interpreting and applying policies and guidelines; but rules have exceptions.if yopu violate a rule you will be reprimanded.

A policy or guideline is made by consensus.

On a discussion page and in the discussion pages and on the web pages of the standards, the determination of whether a policy or guideline is an accurate description of best practices is made by consensus. Otherways, the shortcut is not the policy.

ENFORCEMENT

Social interactions. If an editor violates them, other editors can persuade that person to follow laws of polightness. If a user acts against policy, intentionally and frequently, thatt user will be blocked.

CONTENT

Pages should be clear, concise, emphazise the rule, avoid redundancy, avoid overlinking and respect each other without contradicting.

PRINCIPLES
5 PILLARS

WIKIPEDIA:

Encyclopedia, neutral, free (for everybody), respect between users, no firm rules but policies and guidelines should be followed.

IGNORE ALL RULES

Try to follow the policies but there aren´t stricted rules.

CORE CONTENT POLICIES

Neutral point of view (not biased and a fairly view), verifiability (reliable sources), no original research.

CONTENT POLICIES
ARTICLE TITLES

Naming conventions. The basis for a page´s Link or URL.

May be the summarized name of the content. A title which everybody must be able to know.

Must be familiar, natural, distinguished, consistent, recognizable and concise.

BIOGRAPHIES OF LIVING PERSONS

Be careful when talking about living persons, respectful and unbiased. Don´t be harmful and respect one´s privacy. Remeber to write in a dispassionate tone, avoid gossips and unreliable information.

Otherwise, the content will be erased.

IMAGE USE

Image must be or contain: own work, freely licensed, important note, public domain, format, content, and copyright issues.

NEUTRAL POINT OF VIEW

Represent fairly, proportionately, unbiased, each posible view, creating a reliable source on a topic. The most important thing it is neutrality.

NO ORIGINAL RESEARCH

Wikipedia's role is not to act as a forum for the development of knowledge, which is to collect and transmit the sum of accumulated and checked knowledge in the different fields of human activity. To ensure its accuracy.

VERIFIABLILITY

There should be no plagiarism, must be an original research, it ought to have many points of view so that any reader can feel identified and, above all, it ought to be partial.

WHAT WIKIPEDIA IS NOT

Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia. Is not a dictionary, a paper encyclopedia, a newspaper... The information uploaded in Wikipedia is written by editors every day, so the information and sources are modified and grown.

CONDUCT POLICIES
CIVILITY

The guidelines are expectations of users and offer proper ways to deal with any issues when they crop up. Simply put, editors should always treat each other with consideration and respect. They must keep their focus on the improvement of the encyclopaedia and on maintaining a friendly editing environment, acting in a polite, calm and reasoned way, even during fiery debates.

CLEAN START

A clean staroccurs when a user stops using an old account to start from zero with a new one. Two common reasons for wanting a fresh start are to admit past mistakes and to avoid stalking. The old account should be clearly defunct and the new account should avoid editing patterns or behaviours that would allow other users to recognise and identify the account. The new account is expected to be a true "fresh start", to edit in new areas, to avoid old disputes and to follow the guidelines for community behaviour.

CONSENSUES

Consensus is usually reached by editors as a natural progression. After one changes a page, others reading the site can choose whether or not to edit further. When editors do not reach agreement by editing, discussion on the related discussion pages carries on the process of reaching agreement.

A consensus decision takes into account all relevant concerns raised. The ideal is that it arrives with an openness of opinion, but frequently we must be content with as wide an agreement as can be reached. Where there is not comprehensive accord, the quest for consent implies adjusting the consensus process to include the necessary adjustments to the initial draft without losing those who agreed to the initial proposal.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Folloeing the protocol, asking for third opinion, mediation, noticeboards, requests, disengage, focus on content, consensues agreements, discuus with the other party are the aprppiate ways for solving any issue.

EDIT WARRING

An edit war occurs when editors who disagree with the content of a page continually delete each other's contributions. The editors involved in a dispute should reach a consensus, because edit wars are not productive.

In case there is no consensus, the three revert rule (3RR) is established, i.e. an editor must not make more than three revert on the same page in a 24-hour period.

EDITING POLICY

As a basic rule, as more accepted knowledge, the better it will be. You ought to be careful when erasing other´s conent, editor have to reach a consensus. Try not to paraphrase or copy, express your ideas in your own words.

HARASSMENT

Wikihounding consists of divulging personal information, private correspondence or receiving threats. If you are being harassed, stay calm or report it to the Arbitration Committee.

NO LEGAL THREATS

Don´t post legal threats (a threat to participate in an external, real life, process targeting Wikipedia). Be respectful as Wikipedia´s policies and guidelines represent. Don't tarnish wikipedia's image.

NO PERSONAL ATTACKS

Do not make personal attacks, comment the content but not the contributor. Assaults are harmful and innecesary so avoid them.

OWNERSHIP OF CONTENT

Ownership contents can involve one or multiple editors. Works uploaded to Wikipedia can be edited, used and redistributed by anyone.

USERNAME POLICY

A user account must be used by one user. Usernames with: violent or offensive names, bad comments about others, links that seem to have permissions they do not, copyright adresses or promotional stuff, will be banned and blocked.

VANDALISM

Vandalisim is prohibited. Editors are encorouged to warn and educate vandals. However, any good faith to improve Wikipedia´s infotmation, is not vandalism. Editing continuosly and intentionally for obstructing or defeating the project´s purpose.
