Rules and Guidelines

These are the rules of the Wiki, and MUST be followed or consequences will ensue.

General Rules

 * Be nice to all users, regardless of gender, age, etc.
 * Everyone is welcome here.
 * Cursing is not allowed ANYWHERE on this wiki.
 * Do not edit others user pages.
 * Do not start an "edit war"
 * Do not start or continue arguments in the comments section.
 * Do not beg for special rights (i.e Admin, Bureaucrat, Chat Mod, etc). I will give these to you if I feel you are worthy of it.
 * No discrimination is allowed here, PERIOD.
 * No bullying is EVER allowed.
 * If you are caught bullying, don't attempt to say something like "oh, ____ bullied someone on another wiki". It is the other wikis job to clean up bullying there. Do not bring another wikis problems on here.
 * ALL users are to be treated with respect at all times.

Article Rules

 * ALL breeds of dogs are allowed to have articles, even "designer dogs" (i.e Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, Chiweenies, Cheagles, etc).
 * Before you create a new article, CHECK to make sure there is not already an article with that name.
 * Use the common FORMAL name that the AKC (American Kennel Club) uses. DO NOT create articles and use nicknames.
 * ALWAYS check different names for dogs that have more than one name (for example, if you want to create a page for the Alsatian, check German Shepherd.)
 * DO NOT create different pages for dogs that have more than one name (for example, if the article "German Shepherd" already exists, don't create a page for the Alsatian.)
 * Make sure ALL pictures used ARE the dog breed in question (don't have a picture of a Corgi for a Dachshund, for example).
 * You CAN create articles for extinct breeds of dog.

Chat Rules

 * Be civil at all times.
 * Do not start an argument.
 * Do not continue arguments from an earlier time or from another wiki.
