This policy complements Civility by addressing issues concerning respecting people (including both other Wikiversity participants and people you write about).

Respect people
Respect people and their desire for privacy. When discussing individuals or people, discuss their accomplishments or things they have done, rather than what you think of them as human beings. Only divulge or disclose information about other people fairly and responsibly after a notable, respected, responsible and sound public source has legitimately done so, or when legitimately published on Wikiversity by themselves. When in doubt, make sure that you make your intentions known to the people you wish to write about and get their permission before divulging or disclosing information. Be fair and responsible in your depictions of people, and allow other participants to reasonably balance your depictions with their own fair and responsible depictions of facts, opinions and theories. Be prepared to change your approach or what you've written if your sources update or retract information. Be careful to distinguish between what other people have said or done and your own interpretations. The reputation you save might be your own.

If you disrespect people or their privacy, your peers may ask you to be civil, respectful and to change your approach. If you continue to be disrespectful despite receiving sound advice from your peers to stop, you might be disqualified from participating in any Wikiversity activities.
