Contributing to the GoodWiki
From GoodWiki
Thank you for thinking of contributing to the Greater Good Science Center's GoodWiki. We welcome contributions from any and all scholars working on the social or biological roots of positive behaviors and/or emotions, broadly defined.
[edit] Our Expectations for the GoodWiki Community
- At GoodWiki, "anyone is welcome to add information, cross-references or citations, as long as they do so within [GoodWiki's] editing policies and to an appropriate standard. There is no need to worry about accidentally damaging [GoodWiki] when adding or improving information, as other editors are always around to advise or correct obvious errors, and [GoodWiki's] software...is carefully designed to allow easy reversal of editorial mistakes" (as described in Wikipedia's "About" page).
- "It is important to realize that in contributing to [GoodWiki], users are expected to be civil and neutral, respecting all points of view, and only add verifiable and factual information rather than personal views and opinions." A good source for guidelines about how to participate in a wiki community can be found at Wikipedia's List of Policies.
