General Disclaimer

SUPER ELEC MAKES NO GUARANTEE OF VALIDITY

The Super ELEC website is an online open-content collaborative wiki focused on electrical engineering related disciplines at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). However, Super ELEC is not officially affiliated with UNSW and its related entities such as ELSOC and ARC. It is a voluntary association of individuals and groups working to develop a common resource of human knowledge related to electrical engineering. The structure of the project allows anyone with an Internet connection to alter its content under moderation. Please be advised that nothing found here has necessarily been reviewed by people with the expertise required to provide you with complete, accurate or reliable information.

That is not to say that you will not find valuable and accurate information in the wiki; much of the time you will. However, the wiki cannot guarantee the validity of the information found here. The content of any given article may recently have been changed, vandalized, or altered by someone whose opinion does not correspond with the state of knowledge in the relevant fields. Note that most other encyclopedias and reference works also have disclaimers.

Furthermore, Super ELEC would like to acknowledge and thank the XWiki open-source project in which this website runs on. Credit is given to XWiki regarding to all the default content provided by them. Super ELEC would also like to acknowledge the authors and contributors on XWiki extensions used by Super ELEC. Credit is given to the XWiki extensions' authors and contributors regarding to all the default content provided by them.

No Formal Peer Review

Our active community of editors uses tools such as recent changes and feeds to monitor new and changing content. However, Super ELEC is not uniformly peer reviewed; while readers may correct errors or engage in casual peer review, they have no legal duty to do so and thus all information read here is without any implied warranty of fitness for any purpose or use whatsoever. Even articles that have been vetted by informal peer review or featured article processes may later have been edited inappropriately, just before you view them.

Content Disclaimer

SUPER ELEC CONTAINS CONTENT THAT MAY BE OBJECTIONABLE

Super ELEC may have topics that are censored by educational, governmental, corporate, parental, and other filtering schemes.

• Some articles may discuss words or language that are considered profane, vulgar, or offensive by some readers. 
• Articles may contain audio, visual, or written representations of people or events which may be protected by some cultures.
• Super ELEC may contain many different images and videos, some of which may be considered objectionable or offensive by some readers. For example, some articles may contain graphical depictions of violence, human anatomy, or sexual acts.
• Many articles may contain frank discussion of controversial topics. Some subjects that are discussed may have criminal applications in some jurisdictions. Others contain information on dangerous or otherwise risky activities.
• Super ELEC may contain triggers for people with post-traumatic stress disorder.
• Super ELEC may contain images and videos which can trigger epileptic seizures and other medical conditions.
• Since Super ELEC is open to contributions from the public, there may at any time be vandalism present on Super ELEC.
• There may be medical, legal, or other information that is normally also the subject of professional opinions; Super ELEC is not a substitute for seeking the help of a professional. Please note: Super ELEC does not give legal advice or medical advice.

Super ELEC'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 Commonwealth of Australia, where Super ELEC is hosted. 

In any case, Super ELEC is a work in progress, and many articles may contain errors, bias, or duplication, or may 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.

Super ELEC may contain obscure information that would not be covered in a conventional encyclopedia. Super ELEC's coverage is based on the interests of its volunteer contributors. Readers should not judge the importance of topics based on their coverage in Super ELEC, nor assume that a topic is important merely because it is the subject of a Super ELEC article.
