[edit] policy in a nutshell
I suggest an addition to This policy in a nutshell:
- Being rude, insensitive or petty makes people upset and prevents Wikiversity from working properly. Try to discourage others from being uncivil, and be careful to avoid offending people unintentionally. If you did though, apologize.
It is always helpful to have a clear guideline, especially if something went wrong.
Also later on the page, I'd suggest to add: If you happend to have offended someone, apologize. Remove the offense, if possible, and keep the apology. Do not expect others to act likewise, though. Thanks for your consideration. --Purodha 16:08, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Nice bullet suggestion Purodha! I boldly added it to the "Reducing the Impact" section with a couple of minor changes. Please check the bullet and tweak it if you have better wording or structure. Mirwin 02:28, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Addition
I propose that the use of straw men be listed as an example of incivility. The Jade Knight (d'viser) 21:26, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Note (removed from main page)
Editorial Note: This draft proposed policy[1] is an attempt to allow heated factions a chance to go separate editing ways within the database during a cooling off period. Unlike an encyclypedia a learning institution can have multiple versions of material diverging as opposing factions get their logical arguments, references, assumed facts, and assumptions lined out. Please explore and express your opinion by voting here[2] of this as a standard practice to help manage and reduce unnecessary strife. This note is not yet part of this policy proposal and should be deleted if the above link goes inactive. Mirwin 06:10, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
