Appropedia:What Appropedia is not
From Appropedia
- This is a proposed Appropedia policy. You can edit it, or discuss it on the talk page or at the Appropedia policy discussion page.
Appropedia is not:
- An encyclopedia. Appropedia accepts a very wide range of material, but if it is encyclopedic, we encourage the material to be transwikied to Wikipedia.
- A soapbox. If you have a strong agenda (other than simply believing that sustainability and development are good things), and are not willing to respect a neutral point of view, then a blog, a personal website or a campaign or issues oriented wiki (such as The Campaigns Wikia or Issuepedia) may be more suitable for you.
- MySpace:
Appropedia is not for promoting your band, unless perhaps it is a band promoting sustainability and justice, playing with a carbon neutral footprint or the like.
- A place for aggressive marketing: You're encouraged to let people know about your sustainable business, on your user page and where you have reason to think they might be interested, but please don't market aggressively and don't spam. We're here to enable and empower ourselves and each other, so please put time into sharing your information and wisdom, and helping others, as well as respectfully letting people know about your own particular group/company/cause.
