Psalter wiki Guidelines

Content

You are encouraged to correct or add to editable pages that contain information. However, please respect the opinions of original authors of content. Only make changes to content created by others if it makes sense in the context (e.g. when recording roster swaps) or if you think that they would agree with the correction.

As much as possible, try to follow the guidelines set out in HowToUseTheChurchWiki. Following the conventions set out there will assist others in navigating the wiki.

Protect your own privacy

Be mindful of posting information that you would not want the public to see. While the Psalter wiki is primarily intended for use within the Glen Waverley Uniting Church congregation, some content is publically visible.

Respect Confidentiality

It is perfectly acceptable to publish factual information or opinions. However be careful not to publish confidential information. You must take proper care not to purposefully or inadvertently disclose any information that has been provided to you in confidence, or that may affect the privacy of other people. If you are unsure about the confidentiality of any information, consult the Communications Committee before publishing on the Psalter wiki.

Respect your audience

When engaging in discussions on the Psalter wiki, don't be afraid to be yourself, but do so respectfully. This includes not only the obvious (no ethnic slurs, offensive comments, defamatory comments, personal insults, obscenity, etc.) but also proper consideration of privacy and of topics that may be considered objectionable or inflammatory. If you are unsure, consult the Communications Committee before publishing on the Psalter wiki.

It is critical that you show proper respect for the laws governing copyright and fair use or fair dealing of copyrighted material owned by others, including the Assembly’s Synod’s and GWUC’s own copyrights and brands. You should always attribute quotes or work to the original author/source. It is good general practice to link to others' work rather than reproduce it. If you are unsure, consult the Communications Committee before publishing on the Psalter wiki.

Be Honest

Do not use pseudonyms or false screen names. We believe in transparency and honesty. Use your real name; be clear who you are when engaging in discussion. Remember that the Psalter wiki keeps a record of who has created or edited content. Do not say anything that is dishonest, untrue, or misleading. If you have a vested interest in something you are discussing, point it out.
