====[[EndMyopia:Be respectful|Be respectful]]====

:We might all be somewhat annoyed at how the optometry industry has treated our delicate eyeballs. With that said, there should not be frothy hate pieces about the optometry industry found in mainspace articles. This stuff is alienating to new readers, and genuine optometrists who might be willing to consider what we talk about here will totally be put off.

:No articles about specific [[Bates method]] teachers, please. There are too many, and their methods are all relatively the same. We'll also get loads of angry messages, and they'll [[palm]] us to death! :(

:For people promoting things aside from the Bates method, comment on the '''method''' and not the creator. Give a fair and objective analysis of what's good and bad about a given method, no ad hominem attacks.

====[[Endmyopia:Our point of view|Our point of view]]====

:'''EndMyopia Wiki is written from our point of view.'''

:Articles about things that generally don't work, like [[Ayurveda]] and [[Bates method]], are welcome. These articles should have an objective analysis of what works about them and what doesn't. However, it's easy to see advocates of these methods maliciously trying to edit articles to promote how they think things should be. This is the EndMyopia Wiki, so at the end of the day content promoting other vision improvement methods are much better placed on their own sphere. The wiki is not obligated to have articles promoting other vision improvement methods on it.

:Articles should be written in a light and upbeat tone with somewhat funny jokes. Humour should be genuinely funny and not just stupid.
