Frequently Asked Questions
What are "Talk Pages"? This can be used for feedback/comments about that page, or other local notes that another group may want to associate with the page, without modifying the document directly, or for any other additional information to associate with the document.
To check to see if an article has a Talk Page associated with it, click the "History" tab at the top of the article and look for the "Talk" link. If you don't find a Talk Page you may start one. Comments left for you in articles you start can be found in your "My Talk" page. Talk pages should be used to discuss proposed changes you wish to make with the article originator before you make any edits to what they have written. You do not need to discuss changes if you only wish to add additional information.
If I register in the Wiki will I automatically be registered for the forum too? Yes, you can register either in the Wiki or on the forum and you will automatically be registered for both.
Can I just post a link to my article or do I have to post the whole thing here? We require that you post the article in its entirety here. It would be difficult for others to contribute to the conversation if it were posted on another site therefore links to articles will be removed. You may however add a signature to your articles with your name and a link to your site or sites.
