Hurdy Gurdy Wiki:Content policy

Informative hurdy gurdy articles concerning its history, construction, musical instruction, current usage, performers and events, as well as links to related web content are appropriate to this site.

Although Hurdy Gurdy Wiki is meant to become an exhaustive compendium of information, the direct, bulk transfer of material from other websites is entirely inappropriate. Please restrain the inclusion of such information to excerpts, links, and descriptions to keep our wiki compliant with copyright laws.

All wiki contributors here are encouraged to write their own independent articles on the hurdy gurdy. These should be posted directly to users' personal blogs. Blog articles are not subject to collaborative edits as are all articles located in our mainspace. Personal blogs are also good for subjective commentary on the benefits of various styles, methods, and devices. Such commentary is inappropriate for our wiki's mainspace.

The mainspace should be reserved for neutral-point-of-view (NPOV) styled articles. That is not to say we must tone-down our love for the hurdy gurdy. We expect to see our mutual enthusiasm for this instrument reflected throughout the wiki.

However, personal affection for specific set-ups, styles, or variations should be reserved for personal blog postings. Such commentary should not be included within our mainspace articles. Nevertheless, specific articles about how such set-ups (and etc.) can be obtained are definitely appropriate material for an objective article in our wiki's mainspace.
