Editierrichtlinien

Einstieg

Anmelden auf der Hauptseit
http://open-site.orgdurch Anklicken von "editor login" Links.
Danach siehst Du ein Interface, das Dir alle Editorenwerkzeuge zur Verfügung stellt.
All das Wissen, das Du beisteuerst, wird der
Internet-Gemeinschaft angeboten, entsprechend der im
Open Contract niedergelegten Vereinbarung.

Urheberrechte

Bei dem im Open Site Projekt veröffentlichten Material muß es sich um eigenes handeln.
Der Inhalt darf gegen keinerlei Urheberrechte verstoßen. Du bist verantwortlich für alle von Dir veröffentlichten
Beiträge. Bilder dürfen verwendet werden, wenn sie ebenfalls gegen keinerlei Urheberrechte verstoßen.

Schreibstil

Die Einträge

• sollen keine Schreibfehler enthalten


• sollen keine Werbesprache oder Superlative enthalten


• sollen keine unnötig GROSSGESCHRIEBENEN Worte enthalten

Mail System

Bei einem Projekt wie diesem ist es wichtig, mit anderen gut zusammenzuarbeiten.
Wenn nicht alle als Team zusammenarbeiten, kann keine Gemeinschaft gut funktionieren.
Das beinhaltet sowohl Hilfestellung bei Bedarf zu geben und zu erhalten als auch in den
Foren mitzulesen und zu schreiben, um die Kollegen kennenzulernen.

Fü r die Kommunikation mit anderen Editoren wird die Nutzung des internen Mailsystems
empfohlen. Da dieses System nur von Editoren benutzt wird, braucht man sich um Spam
(unerwünschte Reklame etc.) keine Sorgen zu machen.

The forum is another
great way of conversing with your fellow editors. It allows you to carry on much
broader conversations with a larger array of people than the mail system does.
You may use YABBC tags in the fora.

The Management of Categories

Open-site stores information using a system based on categories. Therefore,
the way in which categories are maintained has a great overall impact on the
rest of the project.

Empty categories don't help anybody. It is okay to create several empty
categories, if you plan to put some content there in the near future. However,
empty categories don't help the surfer and in general should be avoided.

Use category sections whenever possible in order to split up large amount of
information located in the same page. For example, if you have a category
dedicated to the economy of a country, and you include information about
agriculture, industry and tourism, keep at the top of the page an overview of
the economy, and create 3 category sections dedicated to the fields specified
above.

Also, it's suitable to create subcategories when you have enough content in
the parent category and you want to split it up. It's suitable to find a balance
between crowded pages and empty subcategories.

@links

Sometimes, a category can be located under different places. For example,
Astronomy can be located under Science (Science/Astronomy), or under
Science/Physics (Science/Physics/Astronomy). After choosing the best location,
editors can put @links in other places in order to point to the right location.

For example, even if Astronomy is located under Science/Physics, an @link can
be placed under Science, called Astronomy@, that will redirect surfers to the
right location.

@links are displayed on public pages just as the rest of the subcategories.
They can be recognised by the @ sign which is placed at the end of their name.

Alphabars

Alphabars should be used when other methods of spliting the category failed.
In general, if there is another method available for spliting the category,
other than an alphabar, it should be used. An alphabar can still be created in
this case, but its purpose will be to store @links to different subcategories.

Reasons for Removal

From time to time, the community might decide the removal of an individual
editor in order to maintain the integrity of the project. Meta and staff editors
have discretion regarding editor removal. Reasons for removal include, but
aren't limited to:

• breaking copyright laws or inserting copyrighted material in the project.
  


• poor edits.


• inability to function well within the Open Site community.


• self-promotion and abusive editing.


• Having more than one editor account at Open-Site.

HTML and Linking

Only valid HTML elements should be used, and now obsolete style elements
should not be used. This includes elements such as <b> and <font>. Instead, <em>,
<strong>, etc. should be used. For a guide to acceptable HTML elements see
the W3C specification. Please note
that only lower case elements should be used, and all element properties should
be in double quotes. Also note that the <html> tags etc. do not need to be used,
as the article part of each page is only one part.

Special Types of Editors

Open-site has currently 4 special types of editors. Those functions were
created in order to help better at the management of the editing community.

• CatEditalls can:
  
  
  
  • Rename categories in a certain category
  
  
  • Delete categories in a certain category
  
  
  • Create new categories in a certain category
  
  
  
  


• Editalls can:
  
  
  
  • Rename categories
  
  
  • Delete categories
  
  
  • Create new categories
  
  
  • Edit all pages listed at Open Site
  
  
  
  


• Metas can:
  
  
  
  • Accept new editors
  
  
  • Review / Accept / Decline editor applications
  
  
  • Grant categories to editors
  
  
  • Remove categories from editors
  
  
  • Warn editors
  
  
  • View editor warning logs
  
  
  • Shame editors
  
  
  • Access the private meta forum.
  
  
  
  


• Roots can:
  
  
  
  • Do anything you can think of.
  
  
  
  

If an editor feels that they are deserving of cateditall privileges they may
contact a meta and request them or mail the roots.

All editing permissions are decided by staff. Each permission has their own
set of requirements.

• Cateditall:
  
  Must be a strong editor with excellent knowledge of   the area they edit in.  
  The editor also must show leadership in the forums and possess good spelling
  and grammar skills.


• Editall:
  
  Must be a strong editor with excellent knowledge of the encyclopedia.   An
  editall must first be a cateditall.   The editor also must show leadership in
  the forums and possess good spelling and grammar skills.


• Meta:
  
  Must be a very strong editor with excellent knowledge of the encyclopedia. A
  meta must first be an editall who displays excellent editing skills. The
  editor also must show leadership in the forums and possess good spelling and
  grammar skills.
