[edit] Other policy

  • Make sure that the definition is as accurate as possible. If you are describing a paranormal event or phenomenon, get the definition "from the horse's mouth". If a religious belief, try to cite authoritative documents on what that religious belief is supposed to be.
  • Do not disrupt the Skepticwiki to make a point - if there is a dispute or you feel something is so wrong, email the admin (skepticwiki@gmail.com) and use discussion pages.
  • Assume good faith by other contributors - everybody is biased and partial including you.
  • Do not revert an article to an older version more than 3 times in 24 hours unless you are dealing with simple vandalism
  • Libelous or potentially libelous material will be removed or changed.
