collaborating effectively in building an international online encyclopedia contents 1 principles of wikipedia etiquette 1 1 avoid indirect criticism 2 how to avoid abuse of talk pages 3 working towards a neutral point of view 3 1 a few things to bear in mind 4 other words of advice 5 see also 6 notes principles of wikipedia etiquette edit assume good faith wikipedia has worked remarkably well so far based on a policy of nearly complete freedom to edit people come here to collaborate and write good articles remember the golden rule treat others the way you would want to be treated be polite keep in mind that raw text may be ambiguous and often seems ruder than the same words coming from a person standing in front of you irony is not always obvious when written remember that text comes without facial expressions vocal inflection or body language be careful choosing the words you write what you mean might not be what others understand likewise be careful how you interpret what you read what you understand might not be what others mean civilly work towards agreement argue facts not personalities do not intentionally make misrepresentations apologise if you inadvertently do so do not ignore reasonable questions if someone disagrees with your edit provide good reasons why you think that it is appropriate concede a point when you have no response to it or admit when you disagree based on intuition or taste although it is understandably difficult in an intense argument if other editors are not as civil as you would like them to be be more civil not less that way at least you are not moving towards open conflict and name calling by your own action you are actively doing something about it try to treat others with dignity they are people as well it may help to politely let the others know if you are not comfortable with their tone e g i feel that you have been sarcastic above and i don t feel good about it let s try to resolve the issue be prepared to apologize in animated discussions we often say things we later wish we had not say so forgive and forget recognize your own biases and keep them in check give praise when it s due everybody likes to feel appreciated especially in an environment that often requires compromise drop a friendly note on users talk pages remove or summarize resolved disputes that you initiated help mediate disagreements between others take it slowly if you are angry spend time away from wikipedia instead of posting or editing come back in a day or a week you may find that someone else made the desired change or comment for you if you think mediation is needed enlist someone find another wikipedia article to distract yourself there are 6 556 511 articles on english wikipedia take up a wikiproject lend your much needed services at cleanup or write a new article request a list of other articles to work on provided by suggestbot remember what wikipedia is not review the list of common mistakes avoid reverts whenever possible and stay within the three revert rule except where exemptions apply when reverting other people s edits give a rationale for the revert on the article s talk page if necessary and be prepared to enter into an extended discussion over the edits in question calmly explaining your thinking to others can often result in their agreeing with you being dogmatic or uncommunicative evokes the same behavior in others and gets you embroiled in an edit war unless you have an excellent reason not to do so sign and date your posts to talk pages not articles do not use jargon that others might not understand use acronyms carefully and clarify if there is the possibility of any doubt avoid indirect criticism edit shortcut wp indcrit avoid use of unexplained scare quotes and other means of implying criticism or making indirect criticism when you are writing in edit comments and talk pages write clearly plainly and concisely in a way that enables other editors to easily respond to you keep in mind that sarcasm cannot easily be conveyed in writing and may be misinterpreted insinuation and double entendre should be avoided when expressing constructive criticism this also helps the editor receiving criticism to correctly understand you and respond to your concerns and may particularly help editors for whom english is not a first language or who have trouble understanding written english when this style of communication is necessary in the interest of being concise or illustrative it is best to explain the intended meaning of your use of scare quotes or other indirection immediately afterward of course criticism communicated in any manner and concerning any subject must be civil should assume good faith as described in the relevant guideline should not constitute biting of newcomers and should comply with other wikipedia policies and guidelines if directed generally towards an editor s behavior or other aspects of talk page commentary criticism must not constitute a personal attack as described in the no personal attacks policy see also the essay avoid personal remarks for a viewpoint on the latter form of criticism how to avoid abuse of talk pages edit shortcut wp avoidabuse most people take pride in their work and in their point of view egos can easily get hurt in editing but talk pages are not a place for striking back they are a good place to comfort or undo damage to egos but most of all they are for reaching agreements that are best for the articles to which they are attached if someone disagrees with you try to understand why and in your discussion on the talk pages take the time to provide good reasons why you think that your way is better the improvement process employed by wikipedia is constant and the critical analysis of prior work is a necessary part of that process if you are not prepared to have your work thoroughly scrutinized analyzed and criticized or if your ego is easily damaged then wikipedia is probably not the place for you do not label or personally attack people or their edits labeling editors or their edits with terms like racist or sexist make people defensive this makes it hard to discuss articles productively if you must criticize do it politely and constructively avoid usage of invectives and expletives even if used without an intention to attack any editor as these may be easily construed to be personal attacks and may not productively add to a collegial and congenial environment always make clear what point you are addressing especially in replies in responding quoting a post is acceptable but paraphrasing it or stating how you interpreted it is often better qualify your interpretation by writing as you seem to be saying or as i understand you to acknowledge that you made an interpretation before going on to say that someone is wrong concede you might have misinterpreted them interweaving rebuttals into the middle of another person s comments disrupts the flow of the discussion and breaks the attribution of comments it may be intelligible to some but it is virtually impossible for the rest of the community to follow editing another editor s signed talk page comments is generally frowned upon even if the edit merely corrects spelling or grammar working towards a neutral point of view edit when dealing with suspected violations of wikipedia neutral point of view inquire politely on the article s talk page about aspects of the article you consider non npov unless they are really egregious and suggest replacements if no reply comes make the substitutions use your watchlist to keep track of what you want to do if a reply comes try to agree about the wording to be used that way when an agreement is reached an edit war is very unlikely this clarification needed has the disadvantage that the article stays in an unsatisfying state for a longer period but an article that changes frequently does not create a good impression with other wikipedians or of the project as a whole a few things to bear in mind edit wikipedia articles are supposed to be neutral instead of endorsing one viewpoint over another even if you believe something strongly talk discussion pages are not a place to debate value judgments about which of those views are right or wrong or better if you want to do that there are venues such as social media public weblogs and other wikis use article talk pages to discuss the accuracy inaccuracy pov bias or other problems in the article not as a soapbox for advocacy if someone disagrees with you this does not necessarily mean that the person hates you that the person thinks that you are stupid that the person is stupid or that the person is mean when people post opinions without practical implications for the article it is best to just leave them alone what you think is not necessarily right or necessarily wrong a common example of this is religion before you think about insulting someone s views think about what would happen if they insulted yours remember that anything written on wikipedia is kept permanently even if it is not visible wikipedia invites you to be bold though it is wise to remember that it is possible to be too bold before initiating discussion ask yourself is this necessary to discuss could i provide a summary with my edit and wait for others to express opinions if they like might my actions have consequences that i have not considered you can always take a discussion to email or to your user page if it is not essential to the article if you know you do not get along with someone do not interact with that person more than you need to do unnecessary conflict distracts everyone from the task of making a good encyclopedia and is unpleasant following someone you dislike around wikipedia wikihounding can be disruptive if you do not get along with someone try to become friendlier if that does not help the situation then it is probably best to avoid them though editing articles is acceptable and encouraged editing the signed words of another editor on a talk page or other discussion page is generally not acceptable as it can alter the meaning of the original comment and misrepresent the original editor s thoughts avoid editing another editor s comments unless necessary other words of advice edit shortcut wp door wp door is formerly a shortcut to wikipedia portal
