::: I'm a bit embarrassed to say that we don't have much of a written policy or written guidelines. We're pretty much playing it by ear at the moment. If you think an administrator should do something, please say something at the [[Category talk:Active administrators of this wiki]]. --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 21:10, 6 July 2009 (EDT) | ::: I'm a bit embarrassed to say that we don't have much of a written policy or written guidelines.

::WikiIndex is not the same as Wikipedia. Original research is allowed. Having a point of view is allowed. Although in practice most of the articles do not provide reviews or personal experience of the indexed site, there is no rule saying that you can't do so. I think it safe to say that not every editor here particularly likes this, but it generally only causes conflicts for [[:Category:Wikis with a strong viewpoint|wikis with a strong point of view]]. So feel free to express your opinion and tell of your experience. Just be aware that someone else may come along and change it, erase it, or contradict it. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 13:26, 17 May 2010 (EDT) | ::WikiIndex is not the same as Wikipedia.
