As a wiki, we're pretty laid-back. There are some things, though, that we need to stick with:
Contents
No Stalker-ish Information
We don't care if you found Trent's shopping cart list, his address, phone number, Amazon list, underwear preference, etc, and frankly, posting it is fucking creepy. Keep any biographical information relevent to the music and Nine Inch Nails in general.
No Personal Attacks
Take any personal attacks to emails.
Keep Rumors to a Minimum
This wiki should be mostly for facts. If you do have to post a rumor...
Label Rumors As Such
Make sure you notify readers that any rumors you're citing are just that. Otherwise it goes on the article's Discussion page.
Media Links
Links to copyrighted material are phohibited. However, there are a few exceptions: YouTube links to music videos or clips from home-video releases uploaded by Universal/Interscope/TVT, and live footage uploaded by the person who filmed it. YouTube links to videos officially posted by NIN's account are always welcome, as long as they are relevent to the article at which they are being linked. Another exception is the "Survivalism" video as it was leaked to the public via a flash drive before being posted officially online.
As for links to Torrents, direct links are not allowed as there are copyright concerns. However, mentioning torrent sites where materials such as the Closure DVD and the Broken Movie can be found is acceptable.
Plagiarism
This is a big no-no. Please do not copy anything from external sources verbatim without crediting those sources. This includes WikiPedia, despite its sometimes quesionable accuracy. Provide links to your sources in an "External Links" subhead and cite the source within the article.
