Some rules to encourage civilised wiki usage
* This is a public place. Try to avoid offending readers. * Use a writing style suitable for a technical university audience. Designs can be egregious, but not gay. * Sign your work on discussion pages. * No spoofing when signing edits. * Attribute your sources to avoid accusations of plagiarism. * Attach files instead of linking to URLs wherever possible. * No arguments-by-editing, e.g. changing a word of a sentence you disagree with. Instead, add your opinion to the page, making the disagreement clear. * Keep disagreements civil and non-personal. * Clean up after yourself. If you wrote something that grows old, remove it. * Clean up after other people. It is OK to improve others work. * If you struggle to understand, or disagree with, anything, post a question or comment. * Use the normal page tab of any topic for distilled encyclopaedia-like info, and the discussion tab for work in progress, debates, & noting what you wrote on the normal page.
