    Note: these results are not from the primary (high quality) database.

Wikipedia policy - Wikipedia Quite the contrary, as you will see on editing policy. We have literally made up these rules as we've gone along, and your input on the policy and process is still welcome. If there is some problem with it, one should edit it so that the problem is gone, or, in some rare cases, some of us have taken to moving content temporarily to /Talk pages where particularly egregious bias can be removed. nostalgia.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia_policy   (1407 words)

Wikipedia:Protection policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The policy on not editing a protected page does not apply in the same way to the semi-permanently protected pages. Feel free to update the page as needed, but make sure that changes you make to this policy really do reflect consensus, before you make them. Administrators have the ability to protect pages such that they cannot be edited, or images so that they cannot be overwritten, except by other administrators. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia:Protection_policy   (965 words)

Wikipedia talk:Editing policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is probably more of an etiquette question than a policy question, but I didn't find a page on that subject. Anyway, what I'm wondering is if there is a 'policy' for when someone wants to comment several times in the same talk/voting page. Change note: I changed "rephrasing while preserving content" to "rephrasing or accurate precis while preserving content", under acceptable reasons for removing material, which I think correctly interprets the existing policy. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Editing_policy   (262 words)

Wikipedia - SourceWatch Users who have not contributed to articles are allowed to engage in on-line policy discussions at the discretion of administrators. Wiki software, which allows casual users easier access to editing tools, offered Wales an alternative to the problems he saw in the Nupedia model. Elections for the contributor and volunteer positions on the Wikimedia Foundation board were held in June 2004. www.sourcewatch.org /index.php?title=Wikipedia   (1494 words)

Wikipedia - infoAnarchy Wiki The aim is not to write articles from a single objective point of view--this is a common misunderstanding of the policy--but rather, to fairly and sympathetically present all views on an issue. The project is also essentially and self-consciously a wiki--which allows for general public authorship and editing of any page. The project has received large numbers of participants from being mentioned, three times, on the tech website Slashdot--there were two minor mentions March 5 and March 30, and then a prominent feature (also featured on the community-edit tech website Kuro5hin) on July 26. www.infoanarchy.org /wiki/wiki.pl?Wikipedia   (1325 words)

Definition of Temp It also should be noted that the posting of copyrighted material that does not have the express permission from the copyright holder is possibly in violation of applicable law and of our policy. Those with a history of violations may be temporarily suspended from editing pages. But even if this is in fact an infringement of copyright, we still welcome any original contributions by you. www.wordiq.com /definition/District_X/Temp   (292 words)

Encyclopedia: Terry Gilkyson Posting copyrighted material without the express permission of the copyright holder is a violation of applicable law and of our policy. Those who repeatedly post copyrighted material may be blocked from further editing.

Wikipedia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Administrators are the largest such group, privileged with the ability to prevent articles from being edited, delete articles, or block users from editing in accordance with community policy. It is created on the wikipedia.org website using a type of software called a "wiki," from the Hawaiian wiki wiki ("quick"). Its authors need not have any expertise or formal qualifications in the subjects which they edit, and users are warned that their contributions may be "edited mercilessly and redistributed at will" by anyone who so wishes. www.voyager.in /Wikipedia   (2308 words)

Wikipedia Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography Administrators are the largest such group, privileged with the ability to prevent articles from being edited, delete articles, or block users from editing in accordance with community policy. For example, the then-new article on the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake on its English edition was cited often by the press shortly after the incident. Regular users often maintain a 'watchlist' of articles of interest to them, so that they are immediately shown which of these articles have changed since their last log in. www.thelocalcolorartgallery.com /encyclopedia/Wikipedia   (5028 words)

WIKIPEDIA In May, 2001, a dozen non-English wikipedia were launched (probably in Catalan, Chinese, Dutch, German, Esperanto, French, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish, soon joined by Arabic and Hungarian [1], [1]). The aim is not to write articles from a single objective point of view -- this is a common misunderstanding of the policy -- but rather, to fairly present all views on an issue, attributed to their adherents. After a while, the site started to slow down to an extent where editing became almost impossible; several rounds of modifications to the software provided only temporary relief. www.websters-dictionary-online.net /definition/english/wi/wikipedia.html   (2327 words)

A Criticism of the Wikipedia: with Mark Pellegrini and Philip Sandifer Your article editing is very, very little compared to the enormous amount of "contributions" (to use the term loosely) to arbitration and policy issues. Articles with a single picture are encouraged to have that picture at the top of the article, right-aligned. Such problems not only result in poorly written articles, which are limited by the incompetence of the highest-ranking administrators; but, this arrangement also inevitably results in censorship, particularly in articles of interest to the site’s ranking members (as discussed in the next two paragraphs). www.kapitalism.net /thoughts/wikipedia.htm   (5301 words)

Re: [WikiEN-l] Re: Re: The whole point of wikipedia (Martin Richards) But if we restrict IP editing - even if we restrict it in some way, like with this blocking policy proposal - we'll get a worse encyclopedia. It's called wikinfo (http://www.wikinfo.org), and no IP editing is allowed. We *do* have a clone that requires that has restricted editing. www.archivum.info /wikien-l@wikipedia.org/2005-10/msg01146.html   (351 words)

Wikipedia - Wikipedia See the page about talk pages as well as the editing policy page. The most widely-supported rule is: "If rules make you nervous and depressed, and not desirous of participating in the wiki, then ignore them entirely and go about your business." It is perhaps surprising, therefore, that the wiki is as well-disciplined and good-natured as it is. See the rules to consider page for more information. Second, there are a number of important naming conventions with which participants familiarize themselves. nostalgia.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia   (351 words)

Editing policy - Wikipedia A point of terminology: the notion of refactoring, in the context of a wiki, means basically the rewriting of a page so as to preserve all the useful information on the page. Please see Wikipetiquette for some suggestions on how you can avoid overusing talk pages in this way. nostalgia.wikipedia.org /wiki/Editing_policy   (1105 words)
