Guidelines: restructure the section, added reasoning about Wikipedia policies as guidelines
=== Guidelines===
'''[[Akvopedia:Guidelines | Guidelines]]''' are more advisory than policies. Updates to a guideline are typically discussed on its talk page, but it is acceptable to directly edit a guideline. Disputes over wording are often resolved by discussion and compromise toward developing a consensus.
A '''[[Akvopedia:Naming conventions|naming convention]]''' or general guideline'''is that the [[Akvopediahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Style List_of_policies Wikipedia policies] serve as guidelines|Style for the Akvopedia unless they have specifically been superseded by guidelines]]''' or policies in this document. The reason for doing this is that the Wikipedia policy set is so large and comprehensive that it covers nearly every aspect of a specific kind wiki, however, as they are changing outside of our control we can't refer to them as policy. But they are a good guideline, related to proper naming, or the way articles should be writtenwhere there is no specific Akvopedia policy.
