Gynopedia Guidelines

Gynopedia is a new project -- and we don't have many guidelines yet! But here's what we have so far:

Community Rules

1. People's choices are their own. This is an open community where users decide what is the healthy, safe and viable for them. So, whether it's getting an abortion or having a baby, getting an STD test or buying STD medication, we don't judge our users' decisions. We provide the information and let them make the choice.

2. Real Information. Please contribute -- but only if you know the information is true. Inaccurate or outdated information can make people feel discouraged and waste their time. Of course, some information will eventually get outdated. But, to the best of your abilities, try to make the information up-to-date.

3. No advertisement/promotion from private physicians. If you recommend a physician (for example, a gynecologist), because you had a positive experience, please contribute this information. But, if you work for that physician or are in any way affiliated with a physician, please refrain from adding info on that doctor. Physician recommendations are supposed to be based on personal experiences of actual patients.

Editing Guidelines

1. To distinguish between two cities with the same name (for example, Los Angeles, USA and Los Angeles, Chile), please add this markup at the top of the page.

United States / California / Los Angeles

Here is an example of how the Melbourne page would look in the 'Edit' view with country and state/region specified:

2. We have a basic format that is used on all city pages. If you create a new page, please copy and paste this text (exactly as shown) in the 'Edit' view, which will automatically give you the format.
