Camera-wiki.org:Good practice

Simple rules for good editing practice

Creating new pages

• Don't begin a new page before having used the "search" function to find out where the camera or other topic is already described.
• If you found such a page and insist on creating your new page then don't forget to set a link to your new page from the other page.
• don't worry if someone makes a reconception afterwards, for example when you wrote about a special camera, another one wrote an article about the camera series, and now both pages contain facts about the same camera. If the result is better then accept the reconception.

Changing existing pages: Esteem the work of others

• Make corrections only where necessary for better understandability or for correction faulty information.
• If you want to make a reconception of a page take over as much contents as possible of what the other's already have written. A wiki is a group project.
• Esteem the images used by the others. Don't replace any image just because you have another one. Better add your image as additional view than as replacement. Even then better hesitate to publish your image if it does not give any new aspect.
