RSMIN COMMUNITY HERITAGE WIKI MAKES NO GUARANTEE OF VALIDITY

RSMIN Community Heritage Wiki (CHW) aims to be an online collaborative encyclopedia, with limited content related to the RSMIN community and its heritage; that is, a voluntary association of individuals and groups working to develop a common resource of human knowledge. The structure of the current project allows anyone to submit new content, and the information is vetted by a chosen committee and project team. Please be advised that although all content is reviewed, some things found here have not necessarily been reviewed by people with the expertise required to provide you with complete, accurate or reliable information.

That is not to say that you will not find valuable and accurate information in RSMIN CHW; much of the time you will. However, RSMIN CHW cannot guarantee the validity of the information found here. The content of any given article may recently have been changed, vandalized or altered by someone whose opinion does not correspond with the state of knowledge in the relevant fields. Note that most other encyclopedias and reference works also have disclaimers.



Formal peer review

Our active community of editors is currently conducting a formal peer review on all new and changing content, which elevates the validity of the information. However, RSMIN CHW could become 100% publicly and voluntarily controlled, which means that the content will not uniformly be peer reviewed; while readers may correct errors or engage in casual peer review, they have no legal duty to do so and thus all information read here is without any implied warranty of fitness for any purpose or use whatsoever. Even articles that have been vetted by informal peer review or featured article processes may later have been edited inappropriately, just before you view them.

None of the contributors, sponsors, administrators or anyone else connected with RSMIN CHW in any way whatsoever can be responsible for the appearance of any inaccurate or libelous information or for your use of the information contained in or linked from these web pages.

You are being granted a limited license to copy anything from this site; it does not create or imply any contractual or extracontractual liability on the part of Wikipedia or any of its agents, members, organizers or other users.

There is no agreement or understanding between you and RSMIN CHW regarding your use or modification of this; neither is anyone at RSMIN CHW responsible should someone change, edit, modify or remove any information that you may post on or submit to RSMIN CHW or any of its associated projects.
