Commons:Staying mellow
Denna sida är skriven som en uppsats; den innehåller bara råd och/eller åsikter från bidragsgivare på Commons.Den är inte en Commonspolicy eller riktlinje, och redigerare är inte skyldiga att följa den. Var god uppdatera sidan efter behov eller diskutera den på diskussionssidan.
Commons is a special place. It's not like any other wiki. It has a special mission. It's a place where people from many other wikis come, to share wondrous images, to work jointly to resolve issues and to make the overall site better (by sharing tools, techniques and experiences). Not everyone speaks your language. Even if it's English (don't be so provincial! :)...
So, in order to preserve the neatness and peacefulness that is Commons, you need to be extra mellow. Don't assume that everyone understands where you are coming from. This may not be your home wiki, and not everyone does things the same way. Compromise, reasonableness, and explanation are needed. Remember: consensus is the building block of all our projects.
So take the time, explain why you did what you did, don't get mad if someone else asks you to explain, and don't get upset if someone else doesn't understand what you meant. Just explain it again. Be patient. Take extra care to ask for input from others. Take extra care to seek consensus. Take extra time to make sure everyone's cool with what you propose. There is no rush. And don't be afraid to ask for help!
Vad du ska göra när du är här...
- Luta dig tillbaka och njut av det härliga arbetet de andra bidragsgivarna redan har gjort. Det är fantastiskt!
- Hjälp till att översätta saker. Det finns alltid saker som behöver översättas, och om du översätter det på din hemwikis språk har du gjort saker och ting bättre! Du kan t.o.m. översätta denna uppsats om du så vill.
Vad du inte ska göra när du är här...
- Don't bring disputes from other wikis. This is not an extension of those wikis. Assume a fresh start, assume good faith, see what your colleagues want. Heck, maybe a friendship you make here will help resolve a dispute there? For cross-wiki issues, the right place is Meta-Wiki.
- Don't start brawls over stuff that doesn't matter. Colors of things, names, titles, which language to use? None of that really really matters in the grand scheme of things.
- Don't be afraid to speak your mind. Mellow does not mean timid. If you have a point, make it. Just make it in a mellow way.
- Don't be afraid to be passionate about what you do, what you have contributed, what you believe in, what you think needs fixing. Mellow does not mean uncaring. It's OK to care. Just be passionate politely and remember others may feel differently than you. It's not about who's right and who's wrong (both sides think they're right), but it's about working together and resolving issues as a team.
Kom ihåg...
Commons is a media repository, so there's space for all. If you feel you can improve an image, go ahead and do it. It's not worthwhile to quarrel around what a picture should look like – just upload a new file with your version and link it in the "Other versions" field of the existing file! (overwrite existing files only for improvements that won't be disputed)
Var inte rädd för att säga "förlåt" om du klantar dig eller "tack" när du får råd - folk här tenderar att vara riktigt trevliga och hjälpsamma, och snälla ord hjälper till att upprätta en stark enad gemenskap medan alla är glada.
To be continued... (by you, edit away! this is a wiki)
