The Beatles Wiki:Policy

This is the official policy. By creating or editing pages here, you affirm that you have read this policy and that you consent to be bound by it. If you believe that there are any errors or omissions, you may discuss them on the |talk page.

The Rules
There are no exceptions — admins have to follow this too!
 * Please take note that you are to receive 2 warnings before getting blocked, how lucky you are! In extreme cases (such as spam or severe vandalism) the admins reserve the right to block users or delete pages on sight, without warning.
 * 1) This is an encyclopaedia with a British subject.
 * 2) This wiki is about the Beatles, the individual members thereof, their subsequent solo careers, and anyone and anything directly associated with any of these; anything else is off-topic, and liable to be deleted without notice.
 * 3) Article pages must have correct (British English) spelling and grammar. (This requirement does not apply to user pages, only to the article space.)
 * 4) Article content must be factual — no fanon, and no nonsense.
 * 5) Articles must have a neutral point of view; statements such as "Ringo Starr was the greatest drummer ever" or "Mark David Chapman was a scumbag" are biased and thus do not belong here.
 * 6) Remember that this is a wiki; any change you make can be, and probably will be, further changed by other users.
 * 7) Do not harrass other users.
 * 8) Do not edit another person's userpage, except for clear cases such as spam or vandalism. Generally speaking, only admins have the right to edit user pages other than their own. If you want to leave a message, that is why the user talk pages are provided.
 * 9) If you see a page which you believe does not belong here:
 * 10) Do tag it for deletion, by adding at the top or the bottom the tag &#123;&#123;delete| |why you think it should be deleted&#125;&#125;. The parameters are compulsory. (The first, five tilde (~) characters, inserts the date and time when the tag was added, so that the admins know if the page has been tagged for over a week and is thus ripe for deletion; the second is the reason. Pages must not be tagged for deletion for no reason, hence the reason must be stated.)
 * 11) Do not blank the page, or remove the delete tag, whilst the deletion debate is in progress; except in the case of obvious misuses (such as tagging the John Lennon page for deletion).
 * 12) No article vandalism. — Infinite block — Infinite Block is only for Vandalism only accounts or spammers, if it's not, please be merciful when blocking the account.
 * 13) No nonsense pages. — Infinite block — Same as above.
 * 14) No pages that are questions, questions are at The Beatles Answers, not The Beatles Wiki — 2 days block
 * 15) No uploading of copyright files (unless with permission from the rights holder, and even then the correct license must be chosen when uploading) — warning
 * 16) Images must also not have a visible watermark, whether or not this is a copyright notice
 * 17) No duplicate pages — warning
 * 18) This includes duplicate images, unless replacing an image with a better one, in which case the new image should be uploaded over the old one
 * 19) No uploading of images just for the sake of doing so — images are for use in articles, not as padding for this wiki
 * 20) Assume Good Faith, if not, 1 hour block
 * 21) Do not copy other people's userpages or signatures unless they said you can — The victim will decide the punishment — "I changed the colours anyway" It still counts as stealing someone's work.
