=RULES = = =
 * No profanity.
 * Be truthful. (see wiki rules from Hawaii below)
 * Don't erase fellow classmates input, but feel free to correct grammatical or spelling errors.
 * Do not create empty pages and expect the community to respond. That's lazy.
 * Be respectful on others’ ideas and works
 * Never put home address, phone number, e-mail address or any other personal information on this wiki. (I'm thinking this is very important for K-12 students; resource below)
 * Don't infringe copyright. Contribute only copyright-free material.

Netiquette: Rules for Wiki [] Even though this says that the rules are for email they can be used for editing and commenting on other people's information on a wiki

=Wiki Rules (or Wikis Rule!)=


 * Using a wiki requires that we follow online etiquette.**

//Please be sure to follow these simple rules so that everyone has a great experience:// []
 * Respect what others have written on the wiki.
 * You can either add to what others have written, make revisions or begin something new on the wiki.
 * Use correct spelling and grammar on the wiki. Remember what goes up on the wiki, goes up for the world to see. This is published writing, not draft.
 * Use appropriate language. Do not use any language that could be interpreted as mean to others.
 * Any factual information must be accurate.
 * Please remember to give credit to and cite your sources. Failure to do so is plagiarism.

 * 3) no sensitive material is to be published on the wiki, common sense prevails in this case.
