Contribution Etiquette

Be considerate - Please don't be rude or offensive.

Write in a way that is easy to understand and avoid using local slang or phrases. Many of those who will read your text may not have English as their first language.

Don't delete other people's contributions (unless you know what you are doing).

Avoid the “click here” phrase.

When contributing to a discussion, put your material at the end, so that the page makes sense when read from top to bottom.

When you answer a question, put the answer after the question.

Be objective - both pros and cons have to be represented correctly. It is easy to make mistakes when you hold strong views about the material you are editing.

Be careful with signed contributions - don't change their meaning.

Be aware of context. Moving material or deleting or moving surrounding material can change meaning.

Use links and cross-references where appropriate.

Give credit where credit is due!
