Ultima Codex:Policies

This covers the official policies of The Codex of Editable Wisdom.

Copyright
All of the textual material in the wiki is licensed under the GNU General Public License. In plain language: Don't submit stuff if you don't want it mercilessly edited and redistributed.

Textual material that is not under this license should only be used in a quotation-like manner (as permitted by the nearly universal fair use laws). In plain language: If you are quoting from the manuals and other materials, only use brief excerpts, only as much you need to discuss something in your own words.

Image use
Separate policy will apply to these. (Currently at User:Wwwwolf/Image use policy)

Neutrality and sources
Try to be neutral and objective, and put things in perspective. In plain language: Seriously, avoid language like "this is the best game ever". We know. Opinions, and speculation, unless well justified, are worthless. Facts are good.

Use and credit sources where applicable.

Note that this all is very much more lax than in Wikipedia; while Wikipedia demands this stuff, we're extremely strongly suggesting this stuff.

Deletion
Currently we don't have a need for deletion process, though one might be devised later on. For now, contact the admins.

Common sense rules

 * Spam, vandalism, and other rubbish will be deleted.
