project. When discussing these differences some editors can seem unnecessarily harsh, while simply trying to be forthright. Other editors may seem oversensitive when their views are challenged. Faceless written words on talk pages and in edit summaries do not fully transmit the nuances of verbal conversation, sometimes leading to misinterpretation of an editor's comments. An uncivil remark can escalate spirited discussion into a personal argument that no longer focuses objectively on the problem at hand. Such exchanges waste our efforts and undermine a positive, productive working environment. Resolve differences of opinion through civil discussion; disagree without being disagreeable. Discussion of other editors should be limited to polite discourse about their actions. </p><p>Editors are expected to be reasonably cooperative, to refrain from making personal attacks, to work within the scope of <a href="/wiki/Commons:Policies_and_guidelines" title="Commons:Policies and guidelines">policies</a>, and to be responsive to <a href="/wiki/Commons:Assume_good_faith" title="Commons:Assume good faith">good-faith</a> questions. Try to treat your fellow editors as respected colleagues with whom you are working on an important project. Be especially welcoming and patient towards new users who contribute constructively, but politely discourage non-constructive newcomers. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Avoiding_incivility" data-mw-thread-id="h-Avoiding_incivility-Cooperation_and_civility"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Avoiding_incivility-Cooperation_and_civility"></span>Avoiding incivility<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Avoiding_incivility-Cooperation_and_civility"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Commons:Civility&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Avoiding incivility"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Incivility – or the appearance of incivility – typically arises from heated content disputes. </p> <ul><li><i>Explain yourself</i>. Insufficient explanations for edits can be perceived as uncivil. Use good edit summaries, and use the talk page if the edit summary does not provide enough space or if a more substantive debate is likely to be needed.</li> <li><i>Be careful with user warning templates</i>. Be careful about issuing templated messages to editors you're currently involved in a dispute with, and exercise caution when using templated messages for newcomers. Consider using a personal message instead of, or in addition to, the templated message.</li> <li><i>Try not to get too intense</i>. Passion can be misread as aggression, so take great care to avoid the appearance of being heavy-handed or bossy. Nobody likes to be <i>bossed about</i> by an editor who appears to believe that they are "superior"; nobody likes a bully.</li> <li><i>Avoid editing while you're in a bad mood.</i> It <i>does</i> spill over.</li> <li><i>Take a Real-Life check</i>. Disengage by <i>two</i> steps to assess what you're about to say (or have just said). Asking yourself "How would I feel if someone said that to me?" is often not enough, many people can just brush things off. To get a better perspective, ask yourself: "How would I feel if someone said that to someone I love who <i>cannot</i> just 'brush it off'?" If you would find that unacceptable, then <i>do not say it</i>. And, if you have already said it, strike it and apologise.</li> <li><i>Be professional</i>. Just because we are online and unpaid does not mean we can behave badly to each other. People working together in a newspaper office are not supposed to get into punch-ups in the newsroom because they disagree about how something is worded or whose turn it is to make the coffee. Nor are volunteers working at the animal rescue centre allowed to start screaming at each other over who left ferrets in the filing cabinet or the corn snake in the cutlery drawer. In fact, there's pretty much nowhere where people working together to do something good are allowed to get into fist-fights, shouting matches, hair-pulling or name-calling; the same principle applies here.</li> <li><i>Avoid name-calling</i>. Someone may very well be an idiot, but telling them so is neither going to increase their intelligence nor improve your ability to communicate with them.</li> <li><i>Avoid condescension</i>. No matter how frustrated you are, do <b>not</b> tell people to "grow up" or include any language along the lines of "if this were kindergarten" in your messages.</li> <li><i>Avoid appearing to ridicule another editor's comment</i>. Even if you see the comment as ridiculous, they very probably don't, and expressing ridicule is likely only to offend and antagonise, rather than helping.</li> <li><i>Be careful with edit summaries</i>.

Especially when done in an aggressive manner, these often alienate editors and disrupt the project through unproductive stressors and conflict. While a few minor incidents of incivility that no one complains about are not necessarily a concern, a continuing pattern of incivility is unacceptable. In cases of repeated harassment or egregious personal attacks, then the offender may be <a href="/wiki/Commons:Blocking_policy" title="Commons:Blocking policy">blocked</a>. Even a single act of severe incivility could result in a block, such as a single episode of extreme <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/verbal_abuse" class="extiw" title="en:verbal abuse">verbal abuse</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/profanity" class="extiw" title="en:profanity">profanity</a> directed at another contributor, or a threat against another person. </p><p>In general, <i>be understanding and non-retaliatory in dealing with incivility</i>. If others are uncivil, do not respond in kind. Consider ignoring isolated examples of incivility, and simply moving forward with the content issue. If necessary, point out gently that you think the comment might be considered uncivil and make it clear that you want to move on and focus on the content issue. Bear in mind that the editor may not have thought they were being uncivil; Commons is edited by people from many different backgrounds, and standards vary. Take things to dispute resolution (see <a href="#Dispute_resolution">below</a>) only if there is an ongoing problem that you cannot resolve. </p><p>This policy is not a weapon to use against other contributors. To insist that an editor be sanctioned for an isolated, minor incident, to repeatedly bring up past incivility after an individual has changed their approach, or to treat constructive criticism as an attack, are in themselves potentially disruptive, and may result in warnings or even blocks if repeated. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="No_personal_attacks_or_harassment" data-mw-thread-id="h-No_personal_attacks_or_harassment-Incivility"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-No_personal_attacks_or_harassment-Incivility"></span>No personal attacks or harassment<span data-mw-comment-end="h-No_personal_attacks_or_harassment-Incivility"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Commons:Civility&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: No personal attacks or harassment"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Editors are expected to avoid personal attacks and harassment of other Commoners. This applies equally to all Commoners: it is as unacceptable to attack a user who has a history of foolish or boorish behavior, or even one who has been subject to disciplinary action by an Administrator, as it is to attack any other user. Commons encourages a positive online community: people make mistakes, but they are encouraged to learn from them and change their ways.

Editors should take into account factors such as (i) the intensity and context of the language/behaviour; (ii) whether the behaviour has occurred on a single occasion, or is occasional or regular; (iii) whether a request has already been made to stop the behaviour, and whether that request is recent; (iv) whether the behaviour has been provoked; and (v) the extent to which the behaviour of others need to be treated at the same time. </p><p>The following behaviours can contribute to an uncivil environment: </p><p><b>1. Direct rudeness</b> </p> <ul><li>(a) rudeness, insults, name-calling, gross <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/profanity" class="extiw" title="en:profanity">profanity</a> or indecent suggestions</li> <li>(b) personal attacks, including racial, ethnic, sexual, disability-related, gender-related and religious slurs, and derogatory references to groups such as social classes or nationalities</li> <li>(c) <span id="ICA"></span>ill-considered accusations of impropriety</li> <li>(d) belittling a fellow editor, including the use of judgemental edit summaries or talk-page posts (e.g. "that is the stupidest thing I have ever seen", "snipped crap")</li></ul> <p><b>2. Other uncivil behaviours</b> </p> <ul><li>(a) <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/taunt" class="extiw" title="wiktionary:taunt">taunting</a> or baiting: deliberately pushing others to the point of breaching civility even if not seeming to commit such a breach themselves. All editors are responsible for their own actions in cases of baiting; a user who is baited is not excused by that if they attack in response, and a user who baits is not excused from their actions by the fact that the bait may be taken.</li> <li>(b) harassment, including wkihounding, bullying, personal or legal threats, posting of personal information, repeated email or user space postings</li> <li>(c) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/sexual_harassment" class="extiw" title="en:sexual harassment">sexual harassment</a></li> <li>(d) lying</li> <li>(e) quoting another editor <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_quoting_out_of_context" class="extiw" title="en:Fallacy of quoting out of context">out of context</a> to give the impression they hold views they do not hold, or to malign them</li></ul> <p>In addition, lack of care when applying other policies can lead to conflict and stress. For instance, referring to a user's good-faith edits as <a href="/wiki/Commons:Vandalism" title="Commons:Vandalism">vandalism</a> may lead to their feeling unfairly attacked.

An apology provides the opportunity for a fresh start, and can clear the air when one person's perceived incivility has offended another. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Blocking_for_incivility" data-mw-thread-id="h-Blocking_for_incivility-Dealing_with_incivility"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Blocking_for_incivility-Dealing_with_incivility"></span>Blocking for incivility<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Blocking_for_incivility-Dealing_with_incivility"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Commons:Civility&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Blocking for incivility"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Blocking for incivility is possible when incivility causes serious disruption. However, the civility policy is <i>not</i> intended to be used as a weapon and blocking should not be the first option in most cases. </p> <ol><li>Be sure to take into account all the relevant history.

Remember that sanctions may be more applicable under another heading (disruption, personal attack, tendentious editing]], or harassment)</li> <li>Civility blocks should be for obvious and uncontentious reasons, because an editor has stepped over the line in a manner nearly all editors can see. In cases where you have reason to suspect this would not be the case – cases where there is reason to believe that taking admin action against someone who was uncivil would <i>not</i> be an uncontentious (or nearly so) prospect – it is expected that discussion will be opened on the matter, via <a href="/wiki/Commons:ANU" class="mw-redirect" title="Commons:ANU">COM:ANU</a>, before any admin action is taken.
