From Domicella's wikiStyle
Domicella respects copyrights. Since wikiStyle is a community edited site, we cannot take responsibility for any copyright violations. We will take down any material that is in violation of copyrights once we are notified of them. Furthermore, we will eliminate clearly copyright infringed material when we come across such cases proactively. We will not tolerate defamation or other personal abuse and we will eliminate such offending material when we come across them or through reasonably complaints. Nonetheless, we cannot take responsibility when such cases arise without our notice due to the open and communal nature of wikiStyle.
We encourage everyone to contribute to wikiStyle! We at Domicella want wikiStyle to be a friendly environment that democratizes fashion and beauty for both women and men. Do not be shy about starting a new article, adding pertinent information to existing articles, formatting articles, or even making improvements in grammar and spelling. All these aspects are important.
Although we welcome all contributors, we ask that everyone who does so abide by these policies and guidelines.

Respect for Others
We cannot emphasize this point enough. Personal or professional attacks of any kind or vandalism of the site will not be tolerated. Any such instances will be edited out and possible warnings could be issued. Do not make punitive edits to an article to make a point or to attack someone (for example, deleting whole sections of someone else's material).
Like Wikipedia, we have a three revert rule. That is, you can only revert someone's changes (from the same article) three times in a 24 hour period. We realize that there are strong opinions but usually including both opinions is much more productive and informative than demanding that only one perspective be considered the legitimate one.
Citing Sources
Cite all sources when possible and respect all copyright laws. This includes both text and images. Domicella will take down material when requested to do so by authors holding the copyright for the material in question.
Durability Test
Fashion and beauty can be fickle and constantly changing. Try to ensure that your information is not more of a fleeting trend but rather has a longer "lifespan." How long is "longer?" There is no set rule of course, but keep this rule in mind and let your intuition and knowledge be your guide. For example, some information is more relevant as current news than as input for wikiStyle.
Content
We welcome all information from the world of fashion and beauty. However, wikiStyle is not a discussion forum. Furthermore, it is not a place to denigrate or promote other companies or products. Yes, we understand the irony in that in the future we may place ads along side the articles. However, the articles themselves should not be advertisements or vehicles for complaints or abuse. We realize fashion and beauty can also be very subjective. In the instances that you write an opinion, ensure that you also consider contrasting opinions as well. Keep in mind that content should be from a neutral point of view.
