Lexipedium:Editors are not paid

In a nutshell, the point of this page is that because users at Lexipedium are not paid for their contributions, it is unrealistic to expect them to spend undue amounts of time working on the wiki. This is intended to serve as a warning to anyone who advocates for policies that require excessive effort by users in the name of quality control. You need to remember before determining policy that other users here will not be as interested in spending a long time on things, especially when they might view them as someone else's issues or projects. For example, you cannot expect every reviewer to fact check every single source on a page that gets little traffic and has no reliability contention. You should also not expect other users to do the work of gathering evidence to make a report of unreliability or user misconduct. The wiki will have users who are dedicated to ensuring quality of content but they will not be interested in spending their time to go through sources for you. The bottom line is that you should not create any expectation that users be required to do anything that you are not willing to do yourself. Wikis must trade off reliability with ease of growth. A Citizendium style wiki that requires extensive credentials from users and locks articles from editing after they have been reviewed will have very reliable articles that no one will join wiki to work on because of the sheer amount of commitment required.
