== Consensus ==
Decisions should be made by consensus. A consensus is what  Disagreements should be solved by discussion. Editors should show their point of view. The goal is to choose an outcome that satisfies the most editors, considering the weight of the arguments. If holding a discussion would be counterproductive, the admin makes a decision. In an emergency or other similar circumstances an admin can overrule consensus and any rules. Consensus can change over time.

Self-created sources (such as video recordings) are acceptable. However such sources are easier to be considered to biased, not reliable, or falsified. All claims about facts should ideally have sources.
