2.4 How is Spiritual Warriors Today different from other paper reference
materials?
The biographies found on Spiritual Warriors Today differ from conventional paper
reference materials in a number of ways;
1. The information found on the website is up to date.
2. Low environmental cost (no paper or distribution impact)
3. Accessibility to a world audience.
2.5 Strengths, weaknesses, and biographic article quality
Spiritual Warriors Today’s greatest strengths, weaknesses and differences arise
because it is open to anyone, has a large contributor base, and submissions are
written by individual with editorial rights reserved by Spiritual Warriors
Today!. The software which runs Spiritual Warriors Today! retains a history of
all edits and changes, thus information added to Spiritual Warriors Today! never
"vanishes", and is never "lost" or deleted.
Spiritual Warriors Today! is open to a large contributor base, drawing a large
number of subscribers from diverse backgrounds. This can on occasion lead to
bias on the part of the subscriber. Spiritual Warriors Today! aims to counter
any bias by peer reviews and continual feedback by a group of trusted
volunteers. As Spiritual Warriors Today! has access to a world audience we have
access to subject matter that is otherwise inaccessible or little documented. As
Spiritual Warriors Today! has a large number of members and contributing means
that Spiritual Warriors Today! can produce excellent articles and resources
covering newsworthy events within hours or days of their occurrence.
Spiritual Warriors Today! biographies and articles may have a tendency to
reflect the cultural, age, and socio-economic demographics of its contributors.
There is no systematic process to make sure that "obviously important" topics
are written about, so Spiritual Warriors Today! may contain unexpected
oversights and omissions.
By allowing limited edit rights to the original submitter of an article and to a
trust group of Spiritual Warriors Today! volunteers means there that information
can be checked and is less susceptible to becoming vandalized.
Spiritual Warriors Today! operates a full editorial dispute resolution process,
that allows time for discussion and resolution in depth, poor quality or biased
edits will be removed forcibly.
Spiritual Warriors Today! is a valuable resource and provides a good reference
point on its subjects, but like any online source, unfamiliar information should
be checked before relying upon it.
2.6 Disclaimers
Spiritual Warriors Today’s disclaimers apply to all pages of this website.
