netiquette

Netiquette

 * Be gentle - don't be rude or offensive.
 * Write in a way that is easy to understand and avoid 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)
 * Don't use too many acronyms (or at least, have a page explaining them)
 * ** Avoid the // "click here" // phrase!! ** Don't write: " Click here for more info about etiquette" but use "More info about PageName ".
 * Contribute only original stuff. Links are fine, but don't cut-and-paste from copyrighted things.
 * Correcting typos is quite okay - in fact, it's a very good habit, since it makes the web page more readable.
 * Use absolute date references. You never know when someone will be reading your content in the future. Example: "As of December 2005, we are the only competitor in this market." Not, "As of now, we are the only..."
 * Avoid self-referencing pronouns. Instead of "I think the best method for..." try "Some think the best method for..." ** You ** are not the only author of a page over time.
 * Sign your comments with your name (or handle) when you want your name associated with a particular contribution. It is common to follow up contributions by using ' user:bnleez '. Also, you are encouraged to complete your profile and tell us something about yourself.
 * Think before you comment. What you say will stay here forever for everyone to see and comment on later.

Contribute only original stuff. Links are fine, but don't cut-and-paste from copyrighted things. If you do, you will need to footnote your source.
