Guidelines for Politician Articles

In Chewiki, May 16, 2010.

Since politics can be a touchy subject, and users come from both ends of the spectrum, guidelines must be put into place to avoid politically biased articles that make outrageous comments, which can offend the opposite spectrum.

  • Stay neutral- Users/readers of Chewiki consist of both ends of the political spectrum. Not only that, but it also prevents long political rants. Speaking of which...
  • NO RANTING- Chewiki is not a blog, so don't write rants in articles. If you want to rant, go write a blog somewhere else.
  • No lying- Comments like "George Bush is a racist", or "Obama is gay" are not accurate, and should not be put into articles. This includes categorization in the same vein.
  • No derogatory comments- Comments like "Obama is a nigger", or similar derogatory comments may be true, but are also used as an insult, which can be offensive.
  • Stay inline with the existing character guidelines- In addition to the above guidelines, politician articles should also fall within the existing character guidelines, since Politicians are also characters in Youtube Poop.
  • Mark articles as biased- If you feel that a politician article is biased, and violates any of these guidelines, use this template, so that we can work towards removing the bias from the article.

If these guidelines are followed, then we can all be happy, and we can all avoid a long, ranty argument that leads nowhere.
