Wikipedia adalah sebuah tempat raksasa yang terdapat banyak pengguna yang memiliki pendapat mereka sendiri mengenai dalam menyunting. Tentunya sangat mengejutkan bahwa kita semua dapat bekerja sama. Salah satu tujuan pedoman Wikipedia mempermudahnya adalah mengasumsikan niat baik. Hal tersebut merupakan saran yang baik, mengingatkan kita bahwa ketika kita tidak setuju terhadap sesuatu, semua penyunting yang terlibat (biasanya) mencoba melakukannya apa yang dianggap mereka benar. Kita tahu bahwa orang-orang sengaja merusak proyek ini juga, tetapi hal tersebut dapat diatasi dengan mudah; dengan cara diblokir dari suntingan, bila diperlukan.

Yang kita sering temui dalam pertikaian adalah penyunting yang tidak bermaksud dan tidak mengetahui bahwa mereka melakukan suntingan yang mengganggu, padahal mereka sedang mencoba untuk membantu. Pada kasus ini, kita terkadang melihat akibt dari gagasan asumsi niat baik kita (yang biasanya sangat berguna). Banyak penyunting sangat fokus dengan aturan-aturan yang mereka percayai bahwa melakukan niat baik sangat dibutuhkan supaya menjadi kontributor yang berguna. Sayangnya, kontributor yang berguna tidak hanya dilihat dari asumsi yang baik, tetapi kemampuan sangat dibutuhkan. Jika seseorang membuat sesuatu yang berantakan tetapi bertujuan untuk membantu, itu masih dianggap berantakan. Karena hal tersebut, sangat diperlukan turut campur komunitas ketika seorang penyunting hadir dengan melihat pola perilakunya, dan, kemungkinannya, mereka yang tidak dapat berkontribusi dengan cara yang konstruktif.

Semua orang mempunyai batas kemampuan mereka tersendiri. Sebagai contoh, seseorang mungkin jago di bidang fisika nuklir, tetapi ia tidak jago di bidang balet, dan begitupula sebaliknya. Beberapa orang yang kompeten mungkin tidak mempunyai keterampilan dalam menyunting di Wikipedia. Alih-alih melabeli mereka sebagai "orang yang tidak mampu", we should ease them out of the Wikipedia community as graciously as possible, with their dignity intact.

Apa yang dimaksud dengan "Kemampuan sangat dibutuhkan"?

sunting

Kita menganggap bahwa orang-orang yang berkontribusi di Wikipedia Bahasa Indonesia memiliki kemampuan berikut:

  • memiliki kemampuan untuk membaca dan menulis dalam bahasa Indonesia yang baik supaya menghindari tulisan yang tak dapat dipahami dan berkomunikasi dengan efektif.
  • memiliki kemampuan untuk membaca sumber dan menilai keandalannya. Penyunting seharusnya terbiasa dengan dirinya dengan pedoman Wikipedia tentang mengenali sumber-sumber yang tepercaya dan memiliki kemampuan untuk memutuskan ketika sumber-sumber tersebut diperlukan atau tidak untuk mengutip dalam artikel.
  • memiliki kemampuan untuk berkomunikasi dengan penyunting lain dan tunduk terhadap konsensus.
  • memiliki kemampuan untuk memahami keterampilan dan kemampuan tersendiri, dan menghindari suntingan di bidang di mana kurangnya keterampilan atau pengetahuan menyebabkannya membuat significant errors for others to clean up.

What "Competence is required" does not mean

sunting
  • It does not mean "come down hard like a ton of bricks on someone as soon as they make a mistake". We should cut editors (particularly new ones) some slack, and help them understand how to edit competently. Mistakes are an inevitable part of the wiki process.
  • It does not mean perfection is required. Articles can be improved in small steps, rather than being made perfect in one fell swoop. Small improvements are our bread and butter.
  • It does not mean one must be a native English speaker. There is no expectation that editors have high English skills. Minor spelling and grammar mistakes can be fixed by others. If poor English prevents an editor from writing comprehensible text directly in articles, they can instead post an edit request on the article talk page.
    • An editor with mid-level English fluency can still work very well in maintenance areas.
  • It does not mean we should ignore people and not try to help improve their competence.
  • It does not mean we should label people as incompetent. Calling someone incompetent is a personal attack and is not helpful. Always refer to the contributions and not the contributor, and find ways to phrase things that do not put people on the defensive or attack their character or person.
  • It does not mean that Wikipedia's civility policy does not apply when talking to people about required competence. Rude and uncivil comments are discouraging, and can raise psychological barriers against recognizing one's mistakes or improving one's skills.

Responding to suspected lack of competence

One must take care when responding to the perceived lack of competence in others. Be mindful of what incompetence is and is not. Incompetence is not lack of knowledge. Responding to competence issues requires care and understanding of the background of a situation.

  • Language issues: The English-language Wikipedia is the largest Wikimedia project, and for that reason, people will tend to come here first to contribute. Poor use of the English language can lead to perceived competence problems. Often, people may not be aware that there may be a Wikipedia in their native language, where they could contribute more effectively and where their contributions are needed. If problems seem to arise from a language barrier, consider directing the user to the Wikipedia in their native language.
  • Repeated mistakes: If a user is making repeated mistakes, verify whether the user has been given any advice or instruction in how to do things correctly. Most users want to contribute productively but simply may not know how to do so. If it appears no-one has explained a problem with their edits, doing so should always be the first step. There are two ways to explain mistakes, (a) direct explanation and (b) showing the better way. In either case, use their talk page to introduce yourself, provide diffs while explaining the problems, and direct them to further readings or to forums such as Wikipedia:Teahouse or Wikipedia:Help desk. In the vast majority of cases, this will be sufficient and no further action will be needed.
  • Alleging incompetence: It is generally inadvisable to call a person "incompetent" or their editing "incompetent". While being direct with problems is advisable, it is possible to be direct without being insulting. Telling people their work displays incompetence often does nothing to improve their work; it only serves to put them on the defensive, making them less receptive to instruction.
  • When all else fails: Sanctions such as blocks and bans are always considered a last resort where all other avenues of correcting problems have been tried and have failed. Before bringing an issue to the incidents noticeboard or another similar venue, you should have exhausted all reasonable attempts to communicate with the user and correct their behavior. Use their talk page, explain things to them, and demonstrate how to do things correctly. On rare occasions, however, after a pattern of behavior has been well established and a user shows they are unlikely to do things correctly, a block, topic ban, or full ban may be the only solutions that minimize disruption to the encyclopedia.
