Content Accuracy
As with any open system, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of agriwaterpedia wiki's content. We kindly ask users to fix any mistake or report it to the website managers so we can make the necessary changes.
User Contribution
Agriwaterpedia is a volunteer community, and does not require the agriwaterpedians to give any more time and effort than they wish. Focus on improving the agriwaterpedia itself, rather than demanding more from others. Editors are expected to comply with agriwaterpedia guidelines and policies, especially when it comes to behavior and conduct. But editors are free to take a break or leave agriwaterpedia at any time.
Peer Review
As with any wiki, content is continuously improved through peer review. Any user with an agriwaterpedia.info account can take part to this process. Peer review can be applied to different levels, both to the style and the content.
We are working on ways to select and highlight reliable versions of articles. However, energypedia is not uniformly peer reviewed; while readers may correct errors or engage in casual peer review, they have no legal duty to do so and thus all information read here is without any implied warranty of fitness for any purpose or use whatsoever.
None of the contributors, sponsors, administrators, or anyone else connected with energypedia in any way whatsoever can be responsible for the appearance of any inaccurate or libelous information or for your use of the information contained in or linked from these web pages.
Editorial Role
Agriwaterpedia content is collaboratively edited, all of the content that agriwaterpedia hosts is provided by users like yourself. Agriwaterpedia does not take an editorial role.
Mutual Respect
Agriwaterpedia is not a place to hold grudges, import personal conflicts, carry on ideological battles, or nurture prejudice, hatred, or fear. Making personal battles out of agriwaterpedia discussions goes directly against our policies and goals.
Every user is expected to interact with others civilly, calmly, and in a spirit of cooperation. Here’s more information on the agriwaterpedia Netiquette.
Moderation
Agriwaterpedia reserves the right to modify or delete any article or other contribution which does not comply to the Terms of Use. Users who do not stick to the rules and the agriwaterpedia netiquette will be warned and his/her account will be momentarily suspended. The account may be deleted if the user obviously refuses to understand the warning.
Any article with illegal or offensive content or violating mutual respect rules in particular will be deleted by the website managers. Any off-topic article may be deleted by the website managers. Certain areas that are vital for the operation of agriwaterpedia such as the homepage as well as certain templates, forms and properties are off limit to users and will be maintained by agriwaterpedia moderators.
Advertisements
Mention of service providers, websites, product names and the like are not acceptable unless factual related to the topic.
All information about companies and products are written in an objective and unbiased style. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they identify major organizations which are the topic of the article. Articles may not be used for promotional and advertisement purposes.
Articles considered advertisements include those that are solicitations for a business, product or service, or are public relations pieces designed to promote a company or individual. When an article on an otherwise encyclopedic topic has the tone of an advertisement, the article can often be salvaged by rewriting it in a neutral point of view. Elements of articles about products or services with brand names can also be combined under a common topic or category to facilitate unbiased and collaborative information by including information about the competition and about different alternatives.
In severe cases, particularly in the event of repetitive violation, agriwaterpedia serves the right to delete articles and block the respective user.
There are no plans for advertising on agriwaterpedia.
Offensive and Illegal Content
Agriwaterpedia may contain content that some readers consider objectionable or offensive, even exceedingly so (see agriwaterpedia disclaimer). Agriwaterpedia cannot guarantee that articles or images will always be acceptable to all readers, or that they will adhere to general social or religious norms.
Articles and content about living people are required to meet an especially high standard, as they may otherwise be libelous or infringe the subjects' right to privacy. Articles should not be written purely to attack the reputation of another person.
Since anyone can edit an article and most changes made are displayed immediately, inappropriate material may appear before it can be removed. Content which is obviously inappropriate (such as an irrelevant link to a shock site, appeals to acts of crime or clear vandalism) is usually removed quickly.
However, some articles may include text, images, or links which some people may find objectionable, when these materials are relevant to the content. Discussion of potentially objectionable content should not focus on its offensiveness but on whether it is appropriate to include in a given article. Beyond that, "being objectionable" is generally not sufficient grounds for removal of content.
File Storage
Agriwaterpedia is not a web space provider, please upload only files that are used (or will be used) in articles or project pages; anything else will be deleted.
Modification of Terms of Use
We may modify the terms upon notice to you at any time. You will be provided notice of any such modification by electronic mail or by publishing the changes on the agriwaterpedia news blog. You may terminate your use of the services if the terms are modified in a manner that substantially affects your rights in connection with use of the services. Your continued use of the service after notice of any change to the terms will be deemed to be your agreement to the amended terms.
