Hurdy Gurdy Wiki:What Hurdy Gurdy Wiki is not

 is not:
 * a place for commercial advertisements
 * This wiki is to be used for collaborative, community editing rather than just providing links to other websites. Unofficial commercial advertising is not permitted. This policy does create a challenge for our contributors since some of the information useful to our readers consists of naming various artists, artisans, product vendors, and service providers. Inclusion of such information in our mainspace must always follow our NPOV policy. Personal endorsements which do appear to be blatant advertisement may be included as part of personal blog posting relating what lead to that encounter.


 * Wikipedia
 * This wiki is not Wikipedia and we aim to not duplicate Wikimedia projects. Wikipedia projects are aimed at a general public which is largely disinterested in hurdy gurdies. Our project is aimed toward a specific subset of people who definitely have an interest in the instrument.


 * a link farm
 * This wiki should always strive to create actual content rather than become a link repository pointing to other sites. Many of our early pages will likely contain a large portion of links. As our sites mature, our newer pages should tend to move away from this tendency.
