The word &#039;&#039;candor&#039;&#039; means honest and frank expression. Memorizing &#039;&#039;CANDOR&#039;&#039; can be beneficial before an editing disagreement gets worse.<br /> <br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;ease what you are doing. Count to 10. Take a break. Read a [[book]]. Watch some enjoyable videos on the website of your choice. Don&#039;t edit. Don&#039;t press the &quot;publish changes&quot; button. Do what you have to do to cool down.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;A&#039;&#039;&#039;sk yourself, what is going on? How many editors are involved? What exactly is happening with the other editors? Does an admin need to come sort things out?<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;N&#039;&#039;&#039;ame the problem as you see it. Describe it to the other editors without blaming anyone. Adding fuel to the fire is an easy way to get burned.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;D&#039;&#039;&#039;iscover a problem-solving plan with those involved. Make a [[wp:compromise|compromise]]. Ask another person not involved for an opinion.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;O&#039;&#039;&#039;perate that plan. Put it into effect with the cooperation of the others involved. Make sure everyone involved knows the problem-solving plan.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;e-evaluate the plan. Often people do not complete the process of putting a plan of action in place because they feel better after talking things over or they get distracted. When the problem arises again, they think their problem-solving efforts have been wasted. Instead, resolve to use the plan.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Wikipedia:No personal attacks]]<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution]]<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Revert only when necessary]]<br /> <br /> {{Wikipedia essays|civility}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Wikipedia essays]]</div>
