• Write in a clear and easy to understand way.
• Contribute only original material. Links are fine, but don't cut-and-paste from copyrighted sources.
• Avoid unnecessary layers; they make content hard to find and
  hard to follow. Consider for example how in a book, the appendices are
  on the same level as "chapters" of the book.
• Do not use hierarchical structure to achieve the desired
  sequence.
• Avoid nearly-empty "container" pages.
• Introductory material should normally be in the parent page, not a first child page, in a large multi-page topic.
• Short child pages covering a particular variation should be
  incorporated into the parent page if practical. This is particularly
  true for single child pages.
• Avoid duplication; it is better to link to existing
  documentation about a topic, rather than duplicate it (or nearly
  duplicate it) in a second location where it may be applicable.
• Ensure the parent page is organizationally named. Remember
  that a user starting at the top sees only one layer of titles at a
  time. Would someone looking for the topic on your page naturally select
  its parent from those available?
• Test the structure: Start at the top, and select the path a
  new user would if looking for your topic.
• Monitor forum requests for information: If you have added content,
  but a forum inquiry indicates it couldn't be found, consider whether
  the book structure is unclear for a new user looking
  for the topic. If replying to the forum inquiry, rather than just providing a link to the page, provide
  the path to the page as well.

Delete the spam and report the incident by posting a short notice about it on the dedicated area of the lenkiewicz.org forum. Please also include a link to the page on which the incident occured. An administrator can then ban the offending user.

Spam is typically things like ads, get-rich schemes, links to non-Lenkiewicz related web-sites.

Sometimes people delete, change or add things without any intention of improving the Wiki content. If you find this kind of Wiki vandalism please report it on the lenkiewicz.org forum to have an administrator resolve the issue and ban the offending user. You can of course also restore the content yourself.

By adding something to the Lenkiewicz Book Project you submit yourself to the merciless review and editing by all other fellow contributors. This is the whole idea of the Wiki process and please try to look at things objectively and be generous in accepting modifications by other contributors. Also remind yourself about the content policies. If you still think that someone changed something to the worse please go ahead and change it back. We hope that all our contributors are bold and generous people who are not afraid to help and correct eachother, always with a friendly smile of course! It is also wise to post a message in the log section of the content to explain why you changed it back.

Don't get into a repeated change-and-change-back conflict though. If someone changed back your modifications and you still do not agree with it please instead discuss it on the lenkiewicz.org forum and try to resolve the conflict there yourselves. If you fail to reach an agreement please post a message on the forum to discuss the issue and if you think necessary request mediation. Note that sometimes there might be different views of the correct description of something, and there might exist several accepted views. In such cases both views should be described in a neutral point of view.

Note that blatant Wiki vandalism is a different problem. Sometimes people delete, change or add things without any intention of improving the Wiki content.
