	In this case, however, we can not just remove material from NewgonWiki, as that would be counter to ~~both~~ our aims, the spirit of Western scholarship, and rights enshrined in International Convention. However, instead of restricting discourse, we are open to the idea of ''expanding'' it in order to ensure that the authors we cite are at ease with the way their work has been presented. What we can therefore do in some cases, is post an Author's Response on a separate page to be linked from the excerpt or citation.

These are likely to be lower profile than excerpt features and may also be disclaimed as peripheral in some way to the main thrust of a research list.

	We have a policy of ''not'' removing material from NewgonWiki unless it is a complete copy (we rarely host these) and we have been asked to do so by the author.

As academics will be aware, the quoting format used throughout NewgonWiki's [[research]] sections is fully compliant with all applicable laws and conventions.

	==Alternative courses of action==		===Complaints, and alternatives to removal===

			Considering the above, and what is already known within academia about the process of assimilating and developing discourse, we prefer authors to be upfront about their reasons for requesting changes to the way their material is presented on NewgonWiki:

			'''1. Editorial comments misrepresent my work.'''

			This, when substantiated, is a valid criticism - although we use ''direct quotes'' in most instances to avoid this complaint. An editor will be assigned to work with you to ensure that your work is represented accurately, contextualizing the ''spirit'' in which it was conducted.

			'''2. I really don't like the ''optics'' of having my work listed on NewgonWiki.'''

			This is an honest and direct complaint, and what we believe ''actually'' underpins most complaints stated with a differing rationale.

			In this case, however, we can not just remove material from NewgonWiki, as that would be counter to both our aims, the spirit of Western scholarship, and rights enshrined in International Convention. However, instead of restricting discourse, we are open to the idea of ''expanding'' it in order to ensure that the authors we cite are at ease with the way their work has been presented.

			There are yet more courses of action that authors themselves can take to reduce the possibility of their work being used by activists:
