My 10 principles to follow on Wikipedia
In my contributions and interactions on Wikipedia, I strive to adhere as closely as possible to these ten principles, as well as other site recommendations, in order to foster a collaborative, rigorous, and respectful environment.
1. Assume good faith
Always assume that other members are here to contribute positively, even in cases of disagreement. This principle promotes an environment of trust and cooperation.
2. Respect the neutral point of view
Adopt a neutral approach when writing, presenting facts in an impartial and balanced manner, even if the topic is controversial. This allows readers to obtain an objective perspective.
3. Avoid personal attacks
Remain respectful in discussions, avoiding judgments about other members. Express criticism in a constructive way and focus on content.
4. Encourage diversity and inclusivity
Ensure that contributions are open and respectful of all cultures, opinions, and communities represented on Wikipedia.
5. Be rigorous with sources
Cite reliable and verifiable sources. Rigor in source selection enhances the credibility and quality of articles.
6. Be transparent
Explain edits in the edit summaries. This helps other members understand intentions and improves collaboration.
7. Be patient with new members
Provide guidance and orientation rather than immediate criticism. Helping new members fosters a more inclusive community and encourages more people to participate.
8. Listen and be open to criticism
Accept constructive criticism and be willing to revise one's work based on feedback from others. This contributes to better content quality.
9. Follow Wikipedia's rules and conventions
Adhering to guidelines and style conventions ensures consistency and readability in articles. This includes verifiability, encyclopedic style, and proper formatting practices.
10. Communicate clearly and respectfully
Avoid jargon or abbreviations that may be difficult to understand in discussions and edit summaries. Expressing ideas clearly enables all members to follow and engage effectively.
