Housekeeping Rules

• Keep a factual and sober tone, the purpose of the wiki is to convey accurate information, not to advertise.
• Refrain from redundancy, such as referring to the Internet Computer in article titles. This is, after all, the Internet Computer Wiki.
• Consistent with Wikipedia, for capitalization use headline style in page and section headings (H1 & H2), and sentence style for sub headings (H3 and below). DFINITY is always stylized in all-caps.
• Avoid the word "we", many people may later edit the article leaving "we" ambiguous.
