About editing[edit]
Prefer stable, citable sources and archived URLs for web footnotes. Rewrite and attribute material forked from Wikipedia or other reliable sources; do not paste other wikis verbatim. Keep speculative or fringe "longtermist" claims out unless tightly sourced—and prefer institutional long-term stewardship topics instead.
