Biofuels Wiki Policy FAQs
Software
The Biofuels Wiki uses the ColdFusion-based canvaswiki platform.
Duplicate Entries
Only site administrators can delete an entry. This is because of the structure of wikis where entries are associated with registered contributors. There are some entries which are deliberately duplicated because of disambiguation such as acronyms. If you notice a duplication, visit the Report Glitches page, and let us know.
Site Hosting & Maintenance

Privacy and Terms of Service
The Biofuels Center of North Carolina, which is the organization that started up the biofuels wiki, will not sell or distribute the list of the users who are registered on this site or turn it into an advertising-driven site. The Center developed and maintains the site as a contribution to the global biofuels community. It welcomes user suggestions to the terms of use for this site. The Terms of Service page is here.

Username Guidelines
This wiki requires a fairly detailed profile when registering. However, many of the fields can be toggled on or off, depending on the degree to which an individual chooses to be visible or not on the profile page. To assist in promoting the site as a credible location for information about biofuels and the entire spectrum of related topics, people who create or edit content cannot use an anonymous login and for the same reason, anonymous user names are not allowed. By default, your name is associated with postings you edit or create. The complete policy guidelines around user names is here.
