Rules

Welcome to the Business Inquiries Wiki! To maintain a respectful and collaborative environment, please follow the rules outlined below. These guidelines help ensure that our content is high-quality, accurate, and beneficial for everyone.

General Conduct

• Respect Other Users: Treat all users with respect and avoid harassment, bullying, or offensive language. We are here to share knowledge and help each other grow.
• Constructive Criticism Only: If you disagree with an edit or contribution, provide constructive feedback rather than criticism. We encourage open discussion, but keep it positive and professional.
• No Spamming or Self-Promotion: Please refrain from posting spam, advertisements, or unrelated self-promotions. Contributions should focus on improving the wiki for all users.

Content Guidelines

• Keep It Relevant: Ensure that contributions are relevant to business communication, inquiries, and related topics. Off-topic content may be removed to maintain the wiki’s focus.
• Use Reliable Sources: When adding new information, especially statistics or factual data, cite reliable sources to ensure accuracy.
• Neutral Point of View (NPOV): Write objectively without bias, especially on topics that may involve opinions or debates. Present all sides fairly, and avoid promotional language.
• Original Content Only: Avoid plagiarism and ensure that your contributions are original or properly cited if quoting from other sources.

Editing and Formatting

• Follow the Style Guide: Use the Wiki Style Guide for formatting standards, including headings, lists, and citations, to ensure consistency across pages.
• Preview Before Saving: Use the preview function to check your edits for errors before saving them. This helps keep our content clean and readable.
• No Vandalism: Vandalism, such as adding false information, intentionally disrupting pages, or deleting content without reason, is strictly prohibited and may result in a ban.

Account and User Privacy

• Respect Privacy: Do not share personal information about yourself or others on the wiki. This includes real names, addresses, and contact details.
• Single Account Per User: Users should only have one account. Multiple accounts or "sockpuppet" accounts are not allowed and may lead to restrictions.
• Report Inappropriate Content: If you encounter harassment, spam, or other rule violations, please report it to the admin team using the Contact page.

Contributing as a New User

• Start Small: If you’re new to wiki editing, we recommend starting with small edits or proofreading. Familiarize yourself with our Contribution Guidelines.
• Seek Help if Needed: If you need assistance, visit our Help page or reach out to more experienced users. We’re here to support you!
• Avoid Major Edits Without Approval: New users should avoid making major structural edits to core pages without consulting the admin team to ensure consistency.

Enforcement and Warnings

The Business Inquiries Wiki team reserves the right to take action if a user violates these rules:

• Minor infractions may result in a warning.
• Repeated or severe infractions may lead to account restrictions or a temporary ban.
• Major violations, such as harassment or vandalism, may result in a permanent ban.

These rules may be updated from time to time to reflect the evolving needs of our community. Significant updates will be announced on the wiki’s Announcements page.
