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. Respect people's personal health decisions. This is an open community, and different people will make different choices. Our job is to simply provide the information, as fully and accurately as we can, and let the users make informed decisions.

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 Inaccurate or outdated information can make people feel discouraged and waste their time. Of course, some information will become outdated.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. But, if you work for that physician or are in any way affiliated with a physician, please refrain from adding information on that doctor. Physician recommendations should be based on personal experiences of unaffiliated 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 when in 'Edit' view. See image (at right) for example.

{{setLocation
|Country=United States
|State=California
|City=Los Angeles
}}

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

2. To create a new city page, please copy and paste this text (exactly as shown) in the 'Edit' view, which will automatically give you the format. See image (at right) for example.
