Kid Dancers Wiki:Policy

You can now find our more Policy at Policy:Privacy Policy.

1. ABSOLUTELY NO VANDALISM! This is the number one rule. If the admins see one page is being excessively vandalized, they will either,
a. Block all the users/contributors who are doing the vandalism or
b. Protect the page for either only users or administrators.

2. The comments are enabled to show love for the dancers, not to pose or swear. Swearing will get you a short ban, and posing will get you about a two month ban.

3. Writing language must be English most of the time. In the age of "AI" in future auto-translation and roundtrip-translation in naitive language in a tab is possible plus marking what was reviewed by human too. Maybe we can offer such a feature one day.

4. Contributors may not become administrators in same wiki they edited, except - THIS is CURRENTLY IN PLANNING - they have founded their own wiki related to dance and become members by administrator and/or owner Spacetrain31. Then they will get member rights for their own wiki. Please go to Kid Dancers Wiki:Administrators for more admin policies.

5. Contributers could become moderators by an administrator or member, depending on purpose and trust, with lesser rights than them, but more than a common registered user, to do on voluntarily base without any burdens for the community maintaining and updating the pages for a restricted group of dancers. More you can find on Kid Dancers Wiki:Moderators and on Kid Dancers Wiki:Oranization Chart. On the bottom of the food chain are unregisted users with just an IP address, especially if contributions are non-repeative and more one-time events.

6. Any user with any pornographic images, videos, etc. will be issued an infinite ban.

7. We have a mighty long list of dancers here. So if you are a parent, a legal or kids guardian and if you see your kid being talked about, but you don't want him/her to be talked about for any reason. Please contact one of our Kid Dancers Wiki:Administrators personally and we will be glad to remove the child. Same for complains by the kids and adults featured on our pages themselves of any age as long as they don't have public eye yet, but in any case we need to verify your ID that you are the person in question. For kids under 13 we require agreement of a parent or legal gardian too, because most of the data we received via the parents or legal gardians or with their permission by other people for some purpose in good faith, such as from Australian and British child actor/actress agencies. That is so there wouldn't be any problems or discrepancies.

8. Don't just blank out the page. And to all those who want to edit here and add dancers, be very careful; because the dancer you add might tick the parents or guardians of the individual off and might want to complain. In fact, a parent might even want to block you from seeing their social media stuff, even if you are just browsing and even if (s)he hasn't been added yet; and if you happen to be a dancer yourself or someone who knows or is related to a dancer, you have to watch out too, as this wiki may not be for you to enter the information in; so be really careful when adding and/or editing dancer pages.

9. Normally we review a new page first by checking out, if the dancer is known in any community, who cannot be found in the internet or has no public eye yet. In any studios, conventions, competitions, by instructors or choreographers, and in most cases they are and we know also who is to ask about some new data. Many of us, members and administrators, write pages for the dancers themselves. Either by request of parents and kids on an event or spontaneously for big dance stars by personal interests. If we don't know the dancer, we look on primary on ages, pictures, birthdates, resistance locations, number of editors ID's, family and friends and what we can find in the internet. Until today we don't want permission of dancers, parents or legal guardians in writing and act in good faith and with common sense to accept pages, improve them and watch over progress. Of cource, many kids want to be in the same database like their idols, but not for everyone the wish can be fulfilled by default. Sorry, sweeties.

10. Miraheze did not operate services that are targeted at people under 13 years of age according Dutch law, and does not collect personally identifiable information. But be clear, it was allowed until April 2020 in the U.S. on Fandom without parent permission to offer a service for them. Within the EU sometimes even both parents with right of custody and over 13 years old child permissions were required regarding domestic rule depending by country up to the age of 16 to use pictures and videos featuring them. This means kids under that age could not use this wiki or some data of them could not be featured. That is why we did not host in Germany on SkyWiki and more later. But if some of such data by kids under these age requirements was entered and is mistakenly migrated to kiddancers.wiki back to U.S., please inform us, so we can delete them, or alternatively with your permission take them temporally offline, but still will keep them, until required age limit is reached to publish it online again.

11. For children who got public eye and became public figures the Freedom of Press already superimposed their Privacy and Data Protection rights as higher law by federal constitution, and because we hosting in the U.S., for dancers around the world who have public eye featured here and uses public social-media and free internet. The Privacy and Data Protection child was already dropped in the well; forever and not by us. That's the way it is. Our standards concerning this are high and are not relying on single events, such as, one viral video, one national TV appearance or newspaper report, or over a million Instagram or Twitter/X followers, TikTok or YouTube subscribers, but by multible events. Then we allow to extend the page very much to a full resume by data one can find in the free internet with free access by visible information, with some conclusions and rarely assumptions. If you think some of them are not accurate, fell free to change or complain. References would be always nice to have.

12. Our writing style is building a positive promotion and development of the dancers, their craft and their environment. We take the efforts on a non-profitable site, because we are big fans of the dancers and wish just the best for them. We humorfully kidding them sometimes about their weaknesses, but want them be successful and happy in profession and life. Every hater, troll, pervert and overreacting person who doesn't understand that concept by negative edits will be banned, sometimes forever.

13. Pictures uploaded here will set under our licence. For professional entertainers we are moving a little bit imprudent on the edge here. Since many pages of our wiki were featured on the top sites of the mainstream search engines, such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Yandix etc, we are burdened to deliver at least one attractive headshot of them, because clients, employers, media and agencies look very first on that. So we "steal" often one from non-professional sources (not from photographers, magazines, advertisement etc) without asking for permission, such as their Instagrams, edit it a little bit and put picture without asking of permission under CC-BY-SA 4.0 licence on their pages. But sometimes it is hard to find one. In all these years a dancer never did complaint about that. On the contrary, most were glad about it and some had sent us their last headshot for their pages. So we continue to "be bold". However, if you don't want to accept it and want your picture(s) removed, feel free to complain.

14. We offer a feature to post embedded videos by standards for YouTube, Twitch, Bilibili etc - full documentation. We decline to take liability for copyrights and other licences, just check out the content, if it could be impropriated for kids and the feature for data protection agreement is active. But at the beginning on our new VPS, we actually don't know which type of videos and audios by Internet Service Provider will actual work. We are sorry, if it might crash.
