It is important to note for any Wiki. Multiple users each have their own viewpoints. With regards to editing, we do our best to supplement as many readers and editors as possible. While agreement is ideal, dispute may be unavoidable. Individuals or groups of individuals should do their best arrive at some sort of compromise, in order to proceed with the editing process and ultimately produce a good referential product. | It is important to note for any Wiki.

===Gender neutral=== | |||

As a corrolary, to make use of an '''External links''' subsection, it is encouraged to provide some relevant links into that section. Blogs, game links, Youtube video, regular Wikipedia (particularly [[Template:Jpwiki/doc|Japanese Wikipedia]]), and the like are fair game. Unlike regular Wikipedia, relevance is taking more precedence than reliable. Although, reliable sources are preferred. | As a corrolary, to make use of an '''External links''' subsection, it is encouraged to provide some relevant links into that section.
