AKBAN-WIKI CONTAINS CONTENT YOU MAY FIND OBJECTIONABLE

In its ambitious mission of documenting all human martial knowledge, AKBAN-wiki contains many thousands of articles on a vast array of topics. A relatively small fraction of these topics are frequently censored by educational, governmental, corporate, parental and other filtering schemes.

  • Some AKBAN-wiki articles discuss words or language that are considered profane, vulgar or offensive by some readers. See AKBAN-wiki:profanity for more information.
  • AKBAN-wiki contains many different images, some of which are considered objectionable or offensive by some readers. For example, some articles contain graphical depictions of violence, or depictions of human anatomy.
  • Many articles contain frank discussion of controversial topics. Some subjects that are discussed have criminal applications in some jurisdictions. Others contain information on dangerous or otherwise risky activities (see AKBAN-wiki:General disclaimer and AKBAN-wiki:Risk disclaimer).
  • AKBAN-wiki contains spoilers.
  • AKBAN-wiki may contain triggers for people with post-traumatic stress disorder.
  • It should be noted that as AKBAN-wiki is open to contributions from the public, there may at any time be graffiti present on AKBAN-wiki.
  • There may be medical, legal or other information that is normally also the subject of professional opinions; AKBAN-wiki is not a substitute for seeking the help of a professional. Please note: AKBAN-wiki does not give legal advice or medical advice.

AKBAN-wiki's current policy is to include such content, provided it breaches neither any of our existing policies (especially Neutral point of view) nor the laws of the state of Florida in the United States, where AKBAN-wiki is hosted. See list of controversial issues for some examples of articles that may contain such content. Some of these articles contain warnings, but many do not.

In any case, AKBAN-wiki is a work in progress, and many articles contain errors, bias, duplication, or simply need tender loving care. We encourage readers to help us fix these problems. The great majority of articles are written primarily or solely by individuals who are not subject matter experts, and may lack academic or professional credentials in the area.

AKBAN-wiki contains obscure information that would not be covered in a conventional encyclopedia. AKBAN-wiki's coverage of subjects is patchy, based on the whims of its volunteer contributors (in particular, subjects of interest to young technical people are likely, but not certain, to receive heavier coverage than other subjects). Readers should not judge the importance of topics based on their coverage in AKBAN-wiki, nor assume that a topic is important merely because it is the subject of a AKBAN-wiki article.
