Line 67:

Where there is a dispute and a consensus hasn't yet formed or cannot form, the page should remain at the ''status quo ante bellum'' (the status quo before the conflict).

Edit warring (reverting back and forth) is not tolerated (even if you're right).

VassarWiki is not censored. As a result of this principle, negativity towards any subject is allowed. On encyclopedia pages, negative information must be verified by sources of types 1 or 2, and like all other pages, written from a neutral point of view. Content concerning living people is held to a higher standard than content about other subjects.

Administrators are ''not'' given any precedence in content disputes (unless the dispute involves a legal issue).

Anyone can apply to be an administrator. While there are no official requirements, candidates should have a track record of constructive editing. Applications to be an administrator are approved by consensus ~~after~~ community discussion. Administrators who abuse their authority should be [[VassarWiki:Reports|reported]].
