| dey see me vandalising | |||
| '''Assuming good faith''' is a fundamental principle on ]. It is the assumption that editors' edits and comments are made in ]. Most people try to help the project, not hurt it. If this were untrue, a project like Misplaced Pages would be doomed from the beginning. This guideline does not require that editors continue to assume good faith in the presence of obvious evidence to the contrary (]). Assuming good faith does not prohibit discussion and criticism. Rather, editors should not attribute the actions being criticized to malice unless there is specific evidence of malice. | |||

| When disagreement occurs, try to the best of your ability to explain and resolve the problem, not cause more conflict, and so give others the opportunity to reply in kind. Consider whether a dispute stems from different perspectives, and look for ways to reach ]. | |||
| tryna catch me vandalisin dirty | |||
| When doubt is cast on good faith, continue to assume good faith yourself where you can. Be ] and follow ], rather than ] editors or ] with them. If you wish to express doubts about the conduct of fellow ], please substantiate those doubts with specific ] and other relevant evidence, so that people can understand the basis for your concerns. Although bad conduct may seem to be due to bad faith, it is usually best to address the conduct without mentioning motives, which might exacerbate resentments all around. | |||
| Be careful about citing this principle too aggressively. Just as one can incorrectly judge that another is acting in bad faith, so too can one mistakenly conclude that bad faith is being assumed; exhortations to "Assume Good Faith" can themselves ]. | |||
| ==About good faith== | |||
| Everyone makes mistakes, both behavioral (such as ]) and content-based (such as adding ]). Most of the time, we can correct such mistakes with simple reminders. However, there will be disagreements on Misplaced Pages for which no policy or guideline has an easy answer. When disagreements happen, ill intent may not be involved. Keep a ], and consider ] if disagreements seem intractable; many of them are not. | |||
| Violation of policies, such as engaging in ], violating ], and so on, may be perpetrated in either good or bad faith. There are processes for dealing with all of these, and ] for repeated violation of policy will apply regardless of whether bad faith was involved or not. | |||
| ===Good faith and newcomers=== | |||
| {{main|Misplaced Pages:Please do not bite the newcomers}} | |||
| It is important to be patient with newcomers, who will be unfamiliar with Misplaced Pages's culture and rules, but may nonetheless turn out to be valuable contributors. | |||
| A newcomer's behavior probably seems appropriate to him/her, and a problem in that regard usually indicates unawareness or misunderstanding of Wikipedian culture. It is not uncommon for a newcomer to believe that an unfamiliar policy should be changed to match their notion of how things should function, especially if they notice that there is already some level of disagreement over the policy in question. Similarly, many newcomers want to have their contributions to articles accepted without question, especially those which pertain to subjects on which they have extensive knowledge. Behaviors arising from these perspectives, while possibly misguided, are usually not malicious and should not be treated as such. Many new users who lack an intuitive grasp of Misplaced Pages customs are gradually brought around, once the logic behind these customs becomes clearer to them. | |||
| ===Good faith and copyright=== | |||
| {{main|Misplaced Pages:Copyright violations}} | |||
| {{Shortcut|WP:AGFC}} | |||
| When dealing with possible copyright violations, good faith means assuming that editors ''intend'' to comply with site policy and the law. That is different from assuming they have actually complied with either. Editors have a proactive obligation to document image uploads, etc. and material may be deleted if the documentation is incorrect or inadequate. Good faith corrective action includes informing editors of problems and helping them improve their practices. | |||
| ==Demonstrate good faith== | |||
| {{Shortcut|WP:DGF}} | |||
| In addition to assuming good faith, encourage others to assume good faith by demonstrating your own good faith. You can do this by articulating your ] motives and by making edits that show your willingness to compromise, interest in improving Misplaced Pages, adherence to policies and guidelines, belief in the veracity of your edits, avoidance of ], and other good-faith behavior. Showing good faith is not required, but it aids smooth and successful interactions with editors. | |||
| ==Dealing with bad faith== | |||
| Even if ] is evident, do not act ] yourself in return, ] others, or ] over it. It is ultimately much easier for others to ] and see who is breaching policies, if one side is clearly acting appropriately throughout. | |||
| Misplaced Pages ] and other experienced editors involved in dispute resolution will usually be glad to help, and are very capable of identifying policy-breaching conduct if their attention is drawn to clear and specific evidence. | |||
| ===Accusing others of bad faith=== | |||
| {{Shortcut|WP:AOBF}} | |||
| Avoid accusing other editors of bad faith without clear evidence in the form of ]s along with the deformed, resultant edit. Making such claims often serves no purpose and could be seen as inflammatory and hence aggravate a dispute. Without clear evidence that the action of another editor is actually in bad faith or ], repeatedly alleging bad faith motives could be construed as a ]. The result could be accusations of bad faith on your part, which tends to create a nasty cycle of unhelpful accusations and counter-accusations. | |||
