'''Be Bold!''' MagicPedia is content that anyone can edit. 
  
MagicPedia operates on the same fundamental principles of Wikipedia:
+
Don't be afraid! Wikis develop faster when everybody helps to fix problems, correct grammar, add facts, make sure wording is accurate, etc. We would like everyone to be bold and help make MagicPedia a better encyclopedia. How many times have you read something and thought, "Why aren't these pages copy-edited?" MagicPedia not only allows you to add, revise, and edit articles: it wants you to do it.  
* '''MagicPedia is an online magic themed encyclopedia'''. It incorporates elements of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers. MagicPedia is not a soapbox, an advertising platform, a vanity press, an experiment in anarchy or democracy, an indiscriminate collection of information, or a web directory.
+
+
* '''MagicPedia uses a neutral point of view'''. We strive for articles that advocate no single point of view. Sometimes this requires representing multiple points of view, presenting each point of view accurately and in context, and not presenting any point of view as "the truth" or "the best view". All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy: unreferenced material may be removed, so please provide references. Cite verifiable, authoritative sources, especially on controversial topics and when the subject is a living person. 
+
+
* '''MagicPedia is free content that anyone can edit and distribute'''. Respect copyright laws. Since all your contributions are freely licensed to the public, no editor owns any article; all of your contributions can and will be mercilessly edited and redistributed.
+
  
* '''MagicPedia users should interact in a respectful and civil manner'''. Respect and be polite to your fellow editors, even when you disagree. Apply etiquette, and avoid personal attacks.  Be open and welcoming.
+
Any changes you make that turn out badly can be reverted, usually painlessly.
 
   
 
   
* '''MagicPedia does not have firm rules besides the five general principles presented here'''. '''Be bold''' in updating articles and do not worry about making mistakes. Your efforts do not need to be perfect; prior versions are saved, so no damage is irreparable.
+
However, it is important not to be insulted if your changes are reverted or edited further.  Others here may edit what you write. Do not take it personally! They, like all of us, just wish to make MagicPedia as good an encyclopedia as it can possibly be.

Tip of the Day

Be Bold! MagicPedia is content that anyone can edit.

Don't be afraid! Wikis develop faster when everybody helps to fix problems, correct grammar, add facts, make sure wording is accurate, etc. We would like everyone to be bold and help make MagicPedia a better encyclopedia. How many times have you read something and thought, "Why aren't these pages copy-edited?" MagicPedia not only allows you to add, revise, and edit articles: it wants you to do it.

Any changes you make that turn out badly can be reverted, usually painlessly.

However, it is important not to be insulted if your changes are reverted or edited further. Others here may edit what you write. Do not take it personally! They, like all of us, just wish to make MagicPedia as good an encyclopedia as it can possibly be.
