Bridgeopedia Wiki:Content policy

While this is an open-edit wiki project, the content of this project is not completely open. This content policy describes what types of content are not acceptable.

Strictly unacceptable content
The following types of content are strictly forbidden and creating pages that consist solely of these types will result in an immediate block:


 * Offensive, vulgar, profane, or otherwise derogatory material
 * Grossly insulting material
 * Personal attacks
 * Copyright infringement
 * References to illegal activity

Repeated attempts to insert this content will result in a site-wide editing ban.

Deletable content
The following content types are unacceptable and will be deleted, but will not result in immediate sanctions:


 * Nonense or gibberish - please make all editing tests in the sandbox
 * Non-English content - please make all contributions in English. Content in another language will be deleted
 * Insufficient amount of content - all content must be able to identify the subject of the article and provide sufficient details
 * Unambiguous advertising or promotion - Please do not create ads that are not related to the project
 * Off-topic material - please keep 95% of content on the topic of bridges
 * Hoaxes - please keep all information true and accurate to the best of your knowledge

Blocking and other sanctions
Users who insert or attempt to insert a page that solely consists of inappropriate content will be sanctioned as needed. Content in the first list will be deleted on sight and will result in an immediate block. Content in the second list will probably be deleted unless it can be reworked and salvaged, but users will not be immediately blocked. Repeated attempts to insert content in either list will result in an indefinite block and potentially a site-wide ban.

Userspace
Content in one's own userspace does not need to be "on-topic" per se, but it still cannot be otherwise inappropriate. Users with user pages that are against this policy will find their pages deleted just like any article would be.
