Judgepedia strives to be a common resource. Judgepedia's contributors and users welcome responsible, knowledge-building contributions from anyone who wishes to participate as a content contributor. To cope with bot-vandalism and spamming, in Spring 2008 Judgepedia changed its settings so that before someone can edit a page, they must register with the site by setting up a user account. Users who engage in wiki-vandalism will be blocked, for the protection of the site's integrity.
Judgepedia follows the neutral point-of-view, or NPOV, ethic. This means that:
- Views should be represented without bias
- "Assert facts, including facts about opinions, but do not assert the opinions themselves," as it says on Wikipedia
- Do not give undue weight to one viewpoint
- Exercise fairness of tone
- Good research, verifiability and reliability of sources are core values
- See also
The wp:Sam Adams Alliance founded Ballotpedia, Judgepedia, and the Sunshine Review.
