Content should be tailored to accommodate a universal audience'''<BR>Articles should never show a preference or provide undue attention to certain countries or demographics. Nor should editors ever assume that the target-audience only belongs to a certain country, demographic or knowledge-background. This is especially important when the issue being discussed applies equally to many or all countries and demographics. Likewise, editors should make sure to explain (or at least hyperlink) topics that may appear obvious but may not be known to the average reader. | ||

Avoid unfairly judging others and forgive mistakes'''<BR>Editors may sometimes make mistakes by doing something that is contrary to the site's policies and guidelines. When this happens, other editors should assume good faith (that is, assume others' best intent) and avoid hasty judgments.

Be open to new ideas and constructive criticism'''<BR>Editors should evaluate ideas on their own merit and not on whether they are existing or new ideas. Likewise, editors should be open to the constructive criticism of these same ideas. Discussion and compromise may result in a "bad" idea evolving into a good one, or it may not. The important thing is to evaluate all possibilities before reaching a working conclusion (being part of a wiki, all content-related decisions on WikiIslam are bound to be somewhat tentative). | ||

Stay calm and approach things in a rational manner'''<BR>Differences of opinion concerning content will exist and editors should be prepared to discuss them in a reasonable manner and with good faith. When there are conflicting viewpoints, everyone should keep calm and stay level-headed. No one should feel that they are being treated in an aggressive manner, personally attacked or targeted due to their content-related opinions. | ||
