Wikimedia principles
The Wikimedia principles emerged from many debates about wiki ideology. Growing Wikimedia was eventually written to summarize some of the principles elaborated as below:
Neutral point of view
[edit]- Neutral point of view--draft
- Proposed revision of the NPOV policy
- NPOV as description not prescription
- Systemic Bias of Wikipedia
- Natural point of view
- NPOV is an ideal
- Consensus editing
- Meatball Wiki take on NPOV and Wikipedia
- South Slavic NPOV page
- If NPOV is science, how do I deal with cases where the US 'science' is at odds with at least 80% of the world?
Core issues: etiquette, consensus, permission, vandals, ethics, morals
[edit]- Etiquette
- Wikipedia vandalism
- Consensus and implications of its definition for all of the core issues
- Simple View of Ethics and Morals
- Be bold in updating pages
- Should talk pages be used for debating?
- Should Wikipedia Use Profanity? (Stephen Gilbert and others)
- Wikimedia mission statement
- Uploads being abused
- Standard email texts for asking permission to use texts or images
- Stress
- Vandalbot
- Don't vote on everything
- Does locking a page indicate a lack of trust?
- Verifiability
Power structure
[edit]- Governance
- Power structure
- Status (the different status existing in the power structure)
- Stewards (see also steward policies)
Copyright
[edit]- Wikipedia and copyright issues
- Wikipedia Designated Agent
- Copyright - what is fair use in quotation and what violates laws? whose law applies? what problems are we actually trying to solve here?
- Avoid Copyright Paranoia!
- Do fair use images violate the GFDL?
- Copyright bot
- American non-acceptance of the rule of the shorter term
English usage
[edit]- Vocabulary - an educational and an ethical issue
- Defining vocabulary - the core glossary, should coordinate with [1]
- Use of the present tense, and overuse of the past tense
- Wikipedia is not Wiki - a little bit of wiki nomenclature
