| == WikiGenius Rules ==
| |
| These rules are designed to maintain the quality, reliability, and integrity of WikiGenius, fostering a respectful and collaborative environment for contributors.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Balanced Perspective=== | | == 📝 WikiGenius Page Creation Rules == |
| All entries must be written from a balanced perspective, ensuring fairness and representing significant viewpoints without bias.
| | |
| ===Fact-Checking and Accuracy ===
| | '''1. Do Not Leave the Page Blank''' |
| All information must be based on verifiable and reliable sources. Contributors should provide citations from trustworthy sources to back up claims, ensuring the accuracy of content.
| | Every page must contain some basic content. Even a short paragraph is better than nothing. |
| ===No Original Research===
| | Blank or empty pages may be deleted. |
| WikiGenius articles must be grounded in established knowledge. New theories or unpublished research should not be added unless backed by reputable sources.
| | |
| ===Proper Sourcing ===
| | '''2. Add Minimum References''' |
| All content must be supported by credible sources, and every claim should be cited appropriately. Contributors should use books, journals, and authoritative websites for references.
| | Include at least one or two reliable references to support the information. |
| ===Topic Relevance and Significance===
| | You can use books, news articles, websites, or official sources. |
| Topics must be notable and relevant to be included. The significance of a topic is determined by its presence in reliable sources and its impact or recognition in the broader community.
| | |
| ===Respect for Intellectual Property===
| | '''3. Use an Infobox''' |
| All content must respect copyright laws. Contributors should only add material that is original, in the public domain, or licensed for free use (e.g., Creative Commons).
| | For biographies, companies, books, or other common subjects, always try to add an infobox. |
| ===Civility and Respect=== | | Infoboxes help summarize key information in a structured way. |
| Contributors are expected to interact with each other respectfully. Hostile behavior, personal attacks, or disruptive conduct are not allowed and may result in restricted access.
| | |
| ===No Self-Promotion===
| | '''4. Add at Least One Image''' |
| Articles should not be used as platforms for self-promotion or advertising. Contributors with a personal or financial interest in a topic should refrain from editing related articles.
| | Add an image if available (e.g., a profile photo, logo, book cover, etc.). |
| ===Guard Against Vandalism===
| | Make sure the image is appropriate and properly licensed. |
| Intentional damage to content, such as adding false or misleading information, will be swiftly corrected. Repeated offenses may result in editing privileges being revoked.
| | |
| ===Community Collaboration===
| | '''5. Use Proper Formatting''' |
| "WikiGenius" operates on consensus among contributors. Disagreements should be resolved through discussion and collaboration, with an emphasis on finding common ground.
| | Use headings (<code>==Heading==</code>), bullet points, and bold text to organize content. |
| | Avoid using all caps or too many emojis. |
| | |
| | '''6. Stay Neutral and Factual''' |
| | Write in a neutral tone. Avoid promotional or biased language. |
| | Do not add personal opinions or false information. |
| | |
| | '''7. Link to Other Pages''' |
| | Try to add links to other WikiGenius pages using <code><nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki></code> to improve site navigation. |
| | |
| | '''8. Use Correct Categories''' |
| | Add at least one relevant category at the bottom of the page (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[Category:Bangladeshi Writers]]</nowiki></code>). |
