| + | #REDIRECT [[AoPS Wiki:What AoPS Wiki is not]] |
| − | ==AoPSWiki is not a dictionary==
| |
| − | Most articles in the AoPSWiki should contain a definition of the term, but the definition by itself should not make up the entire article. The articles should provide a more complete, thorough explanation of the topic -- particularly as it is relevant to students of [[mathematical problem solving]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==AoPSWiki is not a place for most personal content==
| |
| − | More specifically, AoPSWiki is not:
| |
| − | * a weblog.
| |
| − | * a message board.
| |
| − | * a social network.
| |
| − | * a medium for chat.
| |
| − | * a journal for original articles to be published.
| |
| − | * a place to identify real names of ''other'' AoPS users.
| |
| − | * a place to share personal information about yourself or friends
| |
| − | However, users can use their user profiles to post personal content relating to academics and problem solving.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==AoPSWiki is not for inappropriate articles and links==
| |
| − | * Websites that are collections of links have no purpose. The appropriate links from the collection however, may be posted in appropriate places.
| |
| − | * [[Spam]] is never allowed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==AoPSWiki is not yours==
| |
| − | AoPSWiki is for all of its users to share. This means that there may be some articles which you don't agree with or some articles might not be organized/written in the way you would like them to be. Changes on such matters should reflect a consensus of AoPSWiki users, with resolution governed by [[Art of Problem Solving]] administrators.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==AoPSWiki is not a democracy==
| |
| − | Disputes should be mediated through discussion until a general consensus is reached. Moderators have authority over general contributors. Administrators have complete authority over all of AoPSWiki, including moderators. This system allows the AoPSWiki to run relatively smoothly.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==AoPSWiki is not [//en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]==
| |
| − | This is the one most often confused. While it's obvious that AoPSWiki covers a far smaller subject range and is far younger than Wikipedia, there are some other differences as well.
| |
| − | *[[A:NAME|Naming conventions]]
| |
| − | *[[A:DB|Deletion policies]]
| |
| − | *[[A:BLOCK|Blocking policies]]
| |
| − | Also, AoPSWiki does '''not''' require references.
