This guideline is primarily for teams of contributors who want to avoid edit wars and assume good faith. | ||

| Team members sign up and are initially considered "members in good standing". Upon detecting a rule violation (i.e., reverting anything instead of discussing the revert), any member in good standing may move the name of the violator to the "Suspended" section. The result of a suspension is that the members who are still in good standing obviously continue to trust each other. | |||
| This guideline is self-enforced. Those who try to incorporate the contributions of other editors will find that other editors generally treat them with the same respect. | |||
| Regaining one's standing is as easy as undoing the revert that merited the suspension and discussing the edit in question. | |||
