Editorial policies

There are some things to keep in mind when editing AstroWiki.

  • Writing good articles:
  • Write objectively, quote relevant sources which confirm what you express
  • Neutral point of view: avoid political, religious or otherwise non-neutral positions
  • Write understandably: Can more or less everybody understand what you are saying?
  • Write grammatically correct: make whole sentences, use correct spelling. You may use US or British spelling for new articles. When editing existing articles, stay with the choice of the original authors.
  • Write for the readers: try to view your contributions with the eye of a reader. Do I make something clear, or do I confuse? Is something I consider relevant also relevant for the reader, and vice versa?
  • AstroWiki is an editable encyclopedia of astrology. It is not a discussion board, not a dictionary, not an advertising platform, not a stage to show off.
  • Friendliness: be friendly in your tone, open and welcoming to those who use AstroWiki.
