<H3>The
golden
rules</H3>
<P>There
are
certain
rules
for
anyone
using
the
BPMA
Wiki.
These
rules
are
quite
simple,
but
as
the
wiki
grows
in
size
they
may
have
to
become
more
sophisticated.
These
will
always,
however,
be
the
three
golden
rules:
<BR></P>
<UL>
<LI>
<H4>This
wiki
was
created
by
The
British
Postal
Museum
&
Archive,
so
all
subject
matter
on
this
wiki
must
be
'postal'
in
some
way.
</H4></LI>
<LI>
<H4>No
obscene
or
derogatory
content
is
allowed.</H4></LI>
<LI>
<H4>Respect
other
wiki
users
and
value
their
work.
Do
not
vandalise
or
steal
content.
</H4></LI></UL>We
welcome
your
contribution
to
the
[Guidelines
for

The
BPMA
Wiki
is
a

for
