3. | 3. Real Information. Please contribute -- but only if you know the information is '''true'''. Inaccurate or outdated information can make people feel discouraged or waste their time. Of course, some information will become outdated. But, to the best of your abilities, try to make the information up-to-date. | ||
4. | 4. Cite your sources. If you find information from a study, newspaper article, blog post or website, please cite the references. See below for details on citations. | ||
5. | 5. Use local currency. Whenever you list prices, list prices in the local currency as opposed to "global currencies," like dollars, euros, pounds, etc. That way, even if exchange rates shift, users can still know local prices. | ||
6. | 6. Add relevant dates. Whenever possible, include the date of when you received the service or found the data. For example, you can write something like, "As of May 2015, EC pills in Madrid are about 20 euro." | ||
7. | 7. Use license-free images. For example, these can be images found through Creative Commons, Google searches under "labeled for reuse" or your own personal images, if you expect no license for their use. | ||

9. No advertisement/promotion from physicians, hospitals or clinics. If you recommend a physician, hospital or clinic because you were a patient or know about a real patient's experience, please contribute. But, if you are in any way affiliated with a service (for example, you work for a clinic), please refrain from adding opinion-based information on that service. | 9. No medical diagnoses or official medical advice. This is a website to find information on laws, social stigmas, resources and recommendations. It's not a place to find diagnoses or official medical advice. Consult your doctor for these types of questions. | ||
