Notes
[edit] | This page in a nutshell: Participate in a respectful and civil way. Do not ignore the positions and conclusions of others. Try to discourage others from being uncivil, and be careful to avoid offending people unintentionally. |
Civility is a code for the conduct of editing and writing edit summaries, comments, and talk page discussions on all Wikipedias. Whereas incivility is roughly defined as personally targeted behavior that causes an atmosphere of greater conflict and stress, our code of civility states plainly that people must act with civility toward one another.
Our Wikipedia community has by experience developed an informal hierarchy of core principles — the most important being that articles be written with a neutral point of view. After that we request a reasonable degree of civility towards others. "Civility" is the only principle that we can apply to online conduct, and it's the only reasonable way to delimit acceptable conduct from the unacceptable. We cannot always expect people to love, honor, obey, or even respect one another. But we have every right to demand civility.
Problem
Visitors are invited to improve the text in Wikipedia. But often there are differences of opinion on whether a change in text is an "improvement". When editors weigh the pros and cons of whether a change is an improvement, it may be difficult to criticize text without being subjective about the situation. Editors, in trying to be clear, can be unnecessarily harsh on the giving end. Conversely, on the receiving end, editors can be oversensitive when they see what they wrote replaced by something that claims to be "better", despite it being the opposite of what they wrote.
Silent and faceless words on Talk pages and Edit summaries do not transmit the nuances of verbal conversation, leading to small, facetious comments being misinterpreted. One uncivil remark can easily escalate into a heated discussion which may not be focused objectively on the problem at hand. It is during these exchanges that community members may become uninterested in improving articles and instead focus on "triumphing" over the "enemy".
Examples
Petty examples that contribute to an uncivil environment:
- Rudeness
- Judgmental tone in edit summaries ("fixed sloppy spelling", "snipped rambling crap")
- Belittling contributors because of their language skills or word choice
- Ill-considered accusations of impropriety of one kind or another (cite as WP:CIV#ICA)
- Starting a comment with: "Not to make this personal, but... or 1st, read WP:MOS - your revs are poorly written; 2nd, aircraft types says nothing about transcontinental nature; just write and cite 'transcontinental'."
- Calling someone a liar, or accusing him/her of slander or libel. Even if true, such remarks tend to aggravate rather than resolve a dispute.
More serious examples include:
- Taunting
- Personal attacks
- Racial, ethnic, sexual, and religious slurs
- Profanity directed at another contributor
- Lies
- Defacing user pages
- Giving users derogatory names via Pagemove vandalism
- Calling for bans or blocks
- Indecent suggestions
Incivility happens, for example, when you are quietly creating a new page, and another user tells you, If you're going to write a pointless page, could you spell-check it?.
Escalation occurs when you reply, Mind your own business.

Warning vandals

Hello, I'm Bzuk. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to PageName because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! FWiW Bzuk (talk) 04:16, 28 December 2014 (UTC) (unintentional vandalism/test)
Hello, I'm Bzuk. I noticed that you recently removed some content from PageName without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! (unintentional removal of content)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at PageName. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you. (suitable for intentional nonsense or disruption)
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to PageName, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. (variant for removal of content)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at PageName, you may be blocked from editing. ("please stop" for use after level 2 warning)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at PageName, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. (please stop removing content)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at PageName. (last warning for vandalism)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at PageName. (last warning for removing content)
This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at PageName, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. (only warning; for severe or grotesque vandalism only)
This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at PageName, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
