Content

The CPAPtalk.com CPAP Wiki is not made of paper

This may seem obvious. The main point is that this wiki is potentially limitless, and includes formatting and links typically not found in paper publications, and is dynamically created by many people. However, there is a big difference between what can be done and what should reasonably be carried out.

Keep in mind the primary scope of the CPAPtalk.com CPAP Wiki is on articles pertaining to CPAP usage, and Obstructive Sleep Apnea. This is not the place for articles about unrelated topics.

The CPAPtalk.com CPAP Wiki is not a soapbox

The CPAPtalk.com CPAP Wiki is not a soapbox, pulpit, or an outlet for advertising, self-promotion, recruitment of any kind (commercial, political, religious, or other), rumors, or editorial opinion pieces.

  • Advertising (of any kind;commercial or non-commercial) is not acceptable on this wiki. Inserting links to external websites just to promote your business or product is not the intended use of this site and will not be tolerated. Writing or editing articles to promote your business, product, self, or other things you may be involved in personally, is not permitted. External links to major commercial organizations are acceptable if they identify major organizations related to that article. Articles about notable companies should follow the neutral point of view guidelines.
  • Recruiting people for your business, project, organization, religion, political party, other website, or for any other reason, is not the intended use of this wiki. Please do not engage in this kind of behavior.
  • Editorial opinion pieces are not the intended use of this wiki. Articles should be unbiased and strive for a NPOV. If you want to share your biased opinions or pet views, consider going to the CPAPtalk.com Forum, or another website on the internet.
  • Self-promotion is not the reason this wiki is here. While it is tempting to write about a company you work for, or about yourself, or things you are involved in, it is difficult to remain objective. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not write about things that you are directly involved in so that a neutral point of view might be accomplished.
  • Rumors are not acceptable here and this is not the place to write about or speculate over future events or products. It is also not the place to write rumors about people, companies, or organizations that may constitute libel, or slander.

The CPAPtalk.com CPAP Wiki is not a link farm, or image and media storage site

  • It is not a place to replicate another website (or portion thereof) as a mirror site.
  • It should not be used as personal web storage space for files, lists, images, and the like.
