'''Q: I don't know how to use advanced features of the editor to properly format text, or my English isn't great. What do I do?'''
'''Q: What if my grammar and formatting isn't the best?'''


A: Still, don't let that stop you. The moderators are happy to give any contributions a grammar and formatting pass afterwards - we check any new contributions anyways. It is far more important to gather more information than it is to make it look neat.

'''Q: I have a picture I think is useful, what do I do with it?'''


A: Please upload it anyways! In the left sidebar you can find a link [[Special:Upload|''Upload file'']] that you can use to upload a picture without adding it to any page yet. The moderators will keep track of these photographs and add them to a suitable page either now or in the future, if the page does not exist yet.

If you don't want to bother with adding the image to a page, or the page doesn't exist yet, you can find a link [[Special:Upload|''Upload file'']] in the left sidebar that you can use to upload a picture without adding it to any page yet. This way, other users can add it to a page when suitable.<blockquote></blockquote>__NOTOC__
