[edit] Americola's celebrity biographies are provided by AmericolaWiki, a celebrity wiki. You can help contribute to Americola and edit this article.

Some Key policies

You don't need to read every AmericolaWiki policy before you contribute. However, the following policies are particularly important to the project, and the sooner you understand and use them, the better:

1. AmericolaWiki works by building consensus. Consensus is an inherent part of the wiki process. (See AmericolaWiki:Consensus)
2. AmericolaWiki is an encyclopedia. (See What AmericolaWiki is not.)
3. Respect other contributors. AmericolaWiki contributors come from many different countries and cultures, and have widely different views. Treating others with respect is key to collaborating effectively in building an encyclopedia.
4. Don't infringe copyrights. AmericolaWiki is a free encyclopedia licensed under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. Submitting work which infringes copyrights threatens our objective to build a truly free encyclopedia that anyone can redistribute, and could lead to legal problems. (See AmericolaWiki:Copyright.)
5. Avoid bias. Articles should be written from a neutral point of view, representing views fairly, proportionately and without bias.
6. Add only information based on reliable sources. AmericolaWiki articles should be based on reliable published sources, and these sources should be cited so that other editors can check articles.
