From Psychedelic Traveller

Our goal is to compile the sum of all psychedelic knowledge into this website. You can help complete this goal by contributing to Psychedelic Traveller. But please be respectful. Respect is a fundamental concept in many societies. People have a right to peaceful enjoyment, without being disturbed or harassed by others. Psychedelic Traveller requires that all editors be civil to each other, and in doing so avoid personal attacks. Whilst giving out personal information on others may seem harmless, it can potentially cause significant harm to them, allowing identity fraud, vigilante action, and physical attacks, as well as some far worse possibilities.
AccessPsychedelic Traveller is written collaboratively by volunteers from all around the world; anyone can edit it. Visitors do not need specialized qualifications to contribute, since their primary role is to write articles that cover existing knowledge. This means that people of all ages and cultural and social backgrounds can write Psychedelic Traveller articles. Most of the articles can be edited by anyone with access to the Internet, simply by clicking the edit this page link. Anyone is welcome to add information, cross-references, or citations, as long as they do so within Psychedelic Traveller's editing policies and to an appropriate standard. Substandard or disputed information is subject to removal. Users need not worry about accidentally damaging Psychedelic Traveller when adding or improving information, as other editors are always around to advise or correct obvious errors, and the software is carefully designed to allow easy reversal of editorial mistakes. Continually updatedBecause Psychedelic Traveller is an ongoing work to which, in principle, anybody can contribute, it differs from a paper-based reference source in important ways. In particular, older articles tend to be more comprehensive and balanced, while newer articles more frequently contain significant misinformation, or vandalism. Users need to be aware of this to obtain valid information and avoid misinformation that has been recently added and not yet removed. However, unlike a paper reference source, Psychedelic Traveller is continually updated, with the creation or updating of articles on topical events within seconds, minutes, or hours, rather than months or years for printed magazines. Articles ...The threshold for inclusion in Psychedelic Traveller is verifiability, not truth—that is, whether readers are able to check that material added to Psychedelic Traveller has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, or the material may be removed. Neutral point of viewNeutral point of view is a fundamental Wikimedia principle and a cornerstone of Psychedelic Traveller. All Psychedelic Traveller articles and other encyclopedic content must be written from a neutral point of view, representing fairly, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources. This is non-negotiable and expected of all articles, and of all article editors. For guidance on how to make an article conform to the neutral point of view, see the NPOV tutorial; for examples and explanations that illustrate key aspects of this policy, see Neutral point of view/FAQ. ConservativelyArticles must be written conservatively, with regard for the subject's privacy. Psychedelic Traveller is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid paper; it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. The possibility of harm to living subjects is one of the important factors to be considered when exercising editorial judgment. Civility is one of Psychedelic Traveller's core principles. While other core principles give firm standards as to the content of articles, the civility policy is a code of conduct, setting out how Psychedelic Traveller editors should interact: editors should always treat each other with consideration and respect. Even during heated debates, editors should behave reasonably, calmly, and courteously, in order to keep the focus on improving the encyclopedia and to help maintain a pleasant work environment. This policy applies to all editing on Psychedelic Traveller, including user pages, talk pages, edit summaries, and any other discussion with or about fellow Psychedelic Travellers. Communication ...Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Psychedelic Traveller. Comment on content, not on the contributor. Personal attacks will not help you make a point; they hurt the Psychedelic Traveller community and deter users from helping to create a good encyclopedia. Derogatory comments about another contributor must be supported by evidence, otherwise they constitute personal attacks and may be removed by any editor. Repeated or egregious personal attacks may lead to blocks. No original researchPsychedelic Traveller does not publish original research or original thought. This includes unpublished facts, arguments, speculation, and ideas; and any unpublished analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to advance a position. This means that Psychedelic Traveller is not the place to publish your own opinions, experiences, or arguments. Citing sources and avoiding original research are inextricably linked: to demonstrate that you are not presenting original research, you must cite reliable sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and that directly support the information as it is presented.

GuidelineCivic virtue is the cultivation of habits of personal living that are claimed to be important for the success of the community. The identification of the character traits that constitute civic virtue has been a major concern of political philosophy. The term civility refers to behaviour between persons and groups that conforms to a social mode (that is, in accordance with the civil society), as itself being a foundational principle of society and law.
