→What OrthodoxWiki is not
* '''It is not a substitute for your priest or bishop.'''
* '''It is not perfect'''—OrthodoxWiki is a work in progress. It's also a communal effort, which means that not every member of the community would agree with every statement made in an article. We try hard to weed out anything that is flatly inaccurate or heretical. We press authors to provide sources and document diverging interpretations in a thorough and non-polemical manner. Nevertheless, it is certain that we don't catch or correct everything. If you see that something is lacking, please step in and fix it! You may also simply note your disagreement on the article's discussion page.
* '''It is not a battleground'''—you are free to state your opinionsin appropriate places (a personal user page or in a discussion on a talk page), but do not threaten, harass or intimidate those with whom you have a disagreement. Rather, we encourage everybody to approach matters in an intelligent manner and engage in polite discussion.
* '''It is not Wikipedia.''' We borrow heavily from Wikipedia's structure, we use the same software as Wikipedia, we link to Wikipedia, and a number of our articles find their initial source in Wikipedia, but OrthodoxWiki is completely unaffiliated with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation.
