Feminist SF Wiki:FSFwiki community of editors

The FSFwiki is an electronic resource; it is also the community of editors who develop the resource. These editors include FSFwikians — regular, long-term, or committed editors who will make substantive contributions to the project — and casual editors, which includes members of the public who drop by to make a small edit.

A casual editor becomes an FSFwikian by making FSFwikian contributions, and by self-identifying or being identified as an FSFwikian.

The contributions of casual editors are taken as seriously as the contributions of FSFwikians.

• Edits are judged by the substance of the edit. This includes most prominently the plain text and plain meaning of the edit. It also includes the stated or obvious and apparent intent of the editor, and ways in which the edit is likely to be understood.
  • We assume that an editor is operating in good faith — that is, attempting to work out of a feminist point of view.
  • Contributions which are self-evidently anti-feminist or misogynist will be deleted and those editors blocked immediately as directly contrary to the substantive goals of the project.
  • Contributions which do not add to the project and are irrelevant may be deleted, although relevance can be a subject of inquiry. Background material is often necessary for the larger project.
  • Contributions which advance another goal and would hinder the FSFwiki project will be deleted and their editors blocked. The primary example of this is spam.
  • Contributions which are contrary to complementary analyses may be edited or deleted as appropriate. Editors can be blocked when appropriate. This includes racist, homophobic, nationalistic, etc., material. Material which is submitted in apparent good faith as feminist point of view, but is harmful to the project or contrary to its substantive/complementary views can be deleted or edited as appropriate.
• Any and all edits, whether by casual editors or FSFwikians, may be reverted, deleted, changed, or edited in ways great or small — see FSFwiki:Ownership of articles, which explains that articles are not owned by any editor.
