Act in Good Faith

Wikipedia:Act in good faith is a new article that is meant to be a companion to WP:AGF. That is, here would go a list of things *you* the individual should do that *show* your good faith in your own edits. Versus AGF being what you should assume the other person is doing in *their* edits. Obviously I need help developing this proposal, it's just the first blurb. In reading over AGF it looks like a lot of content there, can be forked over here. Any takers?Wjhonson 08:02, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This sounds like a good idea to me. I've added the page to my watchlist & will comment on any changes I feel may be necessary. JulesH 18:07, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can count me on this too. Tcaudilllg (talk) 06:22, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Duh

It should be, and is, patently obvious that you are expected to act in good faith. Why is it necessary to codify that? -Amarkov moo! 03:14, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to me that if you're not acting in good faith, you're pretty much a vandal already. >Radiant< 13:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't this already covered by WP:CIVIL anyway? CaveatLector^Talk 17:36, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Surprised this isn't an article

Wjhonson, do you recall the Village pump discussion which led to this page being userfied? I feel like it makes sense to have a central page describing and linking to the general expectations of honest behavior. Civility does say that "lying" is an example of uncivil behavior, but it's buried among many other unrelated behaviors. The alternative is to create a new section in WP:CIVILITY to Act in good faith...I'm not sure whether it would be easier to change a existing guideline or to create a new guideline which aggregates others.

Or perhaps for now it would be an improvement just to change the redirect to go to WP:5P4. Kolya Butternut (talk) 21:00, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
