I wish everyone could be as nice as they can, and try being even nicer. There is never a reason to be rude. Even to vandals and pompous fools. It's called ''not sinking to their level'' and I strongly believe that even the worst vandal can be turned into a good wikipedian if we go forth as good examples and don't resolve to name-calling and hate. On my RC-patrolling I see (by far) mostly nice treatment of newcomers, but there are exceptions. It's sad to see some talk-messages left to newcomers who (most likely) accidentally blanked a page or just tested a "Hello mom" edit. They are probably already quite confused over the whole wiki-concept and how this edit-stuff works. And when they then get a flame-message, I can't imagine that they think of wikipedia as a nice place to be. [[Wikipedia:Assume_good_faith|Assume good faith]]! |
|||
===Be more aware of Copyright infringements=== |
|||
As wikipedia grows to one of Internet's top sites in use and fame it also turns into a very valuable website in terms of money. And where there is value, there is incentive for someone to try and grab some of it. And one way of grabbing it is by throwing lawyers at us and claim that wikipedia is stealing their work and by that enriching us on their behalf. It is not that far fetched that wikipedia one day will receive a cease and desist letter from someone claiming that we are publishing their work and that even if we delete it we aren't able to stop it from recurring since ''everyone can edit''. But I am (thank God) not a lawyer, so I might worry for no reason. But I believe we need to be careful, and I personally think that the fine wikipedians doing copyvio-hunting are doing one of the most important tasks on the whole wikipedia. I hope, one day, I'll do my share at that, too. If only it wasn't so damed boring... |
