Moderators are immensely important to Gynopedia -- and, without moderation, Gynopedia could not exist. As you may know, Gynopedia is a free wiki. We receive contributions from everyday people, many of whom have wonderful information to include. However, some of this information may be awkwardly phrased, outdated, not properly cited, or not fully accurate. That’s where moderators come in. Other times, we receive contributions from spammers, bots, or other nuisances. That’s also where moderators come in. Moderation is the crucial heart of this site. Below, we'll outline how moderation works -- and, if you're interested in becoming a moderator, shoot us an email (gynopediawiki@gmail.com), and we’ll talk about how you can potentially get involved. | Moderators are immensely important to Gynopedia -- and, without moderation, Gynopedia could not exist.

Gynopedia moderators are people who help moderate, edit, and improve the website. There are no formal professional or educational requirements; anyone can be a moderator. However, the most important qualities are discretion and careful judgment. As a moderator, you’ll be making decisions about the content and its validity. You’ll also help edit and improve existing content. For this reason, it’s important that moderators aren’t just anonymous people lurking in the shadows of the website. They need to feel comfortable questioning things, engaging in discussion, and sharing ideas with others. They should also wholeheartedly believe in inclusiveness -- this is a website for all sexes, genders, sexual orientations, and nationalities -- and moderators should respect the diversity of the users. | Gynopedia moderators are people who help moderate, edit, and improve the website.
