Editing China (section)

== Basics ==

The CS China Wiki is a collective of information contributed by members and volunteers of the CS China group.  It is not supposed to be used by non-CSers and does not replace your guidebook/ travel research.  It only addresses the questions that are frequently being asked by CSers on the CS China group and contains only the information relevant and useful to CSers.

If you have a general question about travelling in China or a particular city in China, we recommend the website of Wikivoyage for all the basic information: http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/China

Note that you are responsible to do your own research, the information contained here is only to assist you as a beginner's guide and may not be up-to-date.

'''CS China Wiki Editing Guidelines'''

'''1) CS Terms and References'''
Please observe the CS Terms and Reference.

'''2) Factual Guide'''
The Wiki is a neutral and impartial guide that serves as a beginners reference for CSers visiting China for the first time. Please be impartial in your writing and do not favour or dis-favour any Chinese city or town. The content here should be basic facts about China, no personal views or comments.

'''3) No Promotion'''
No promotion of hostel, travel services, job-hunting agencies, estate agencies, e-shops or any business

'''4) No discussion of politics'''
Couchsurfing is a website created solely as a platform for travellers to share travel information. No discussion of any political issues here - you should note that wikipedia is blocked in China for various reasons surrounding this and we do not want to see this happen to our dear website.

'''5) Photos'''
[Please add photos that show the diversity - ethnic, climatic, geographic etc. - of China.]

Photos must be copyleft, public domain etc. or your own personal photos that you are willing to allow others access to via a release to the public domain or via a Share-alike licence. See here for an example of the licence I'm talking about.
Wikimedia Commons is a good source of free and share-alike licensed photos. 

Do not use any images without permission, clearance etc. Do not just copy and paste photos you like from the web without checking copyright, ownership, authorship etc.
