I was initially under the impression that WikiIndex had such a policy, not unlike Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. However, somewhere along the line, Mark Dilley pointed out to me that the mission of WikiIndex does not preclude providing personal commentary on the wikis listed here. I'd link to this comment, but I no longer remember where this took place. Anyway, I think that this choice leaves us open to the edit wars which took place recently, which is why I'm not keen on it. Sticking to the facts is more akin to my way of thinking. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 04:52, 4 October 2009 (EDT) | I was initially under the impression that WikiIndex had such a policy, not unlike Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy.

== Things to learn from the RationalWiki policies == | |||
Just a few snippets I liked: | |||
: "These are the '''guidelines''' defined by the RationalWiki community. These are not site rules but rather a list of standards we as a community try to live up to. Please do your best to live up to them." | |||
: "Our official policy on religion is that we do not have an official policy on religion. Our community of editors includes followers of various religions, as well as many atheists. Please bear this in mind when editing." | |||
: "The way things are done around here is the way things are done around here" | |||
: "Please keep in mind that the standards below are only an approximation of the site's working practices." | |||
: "don't panic" | |||
There's a lesson or two in the above snippets. -- [[Felix Pleşoianu]] | <small>[[User talk:Felix|talk]]</small> 01:03, 5 October 2009 (EDT) | |||
