How to contribute to RBEMWiki Crowdsourced Knowledgebase

Overview

It is a good idea to read this information before becoming a contributor to the this wiki, the RBE Crowdsourced Knowledgebase. This article should serve as a style guide, provide information about what information is relevant or needed in this wiki, and point contributors in the right direction to contribute more than disrupt.

Quality and originality of the information in this website is paramount

Original information

It is very important to ensure no content from other sites are copied from external sources without citing the author or the source, and also to ensure that there are no articles mostly based on work copied from other sources. This is what in the monetary market world is considered "plagiarism", and in a RBE can be considered unnecessary duplication of information. In both cases, doing so is highly undesirable. Proper academic work solves this situation by limiting the amount of copied textual material to just a few words, enclosed by quotes, and properly cited. If in need to include more than one line, up to four lines can be included indented, and also properly cited. Alternatively, it is recommended to paraphrase the information found in one's own words, in which case it is also very important to cite the source. Whatever is not cited in an article should be assumed to be completely original by the article's contributor, and it is very important that this remains true.

Relevance of the information
