Dare to put something in the wiki. No topic is too small and nothing is off topic. BUT, we ask that you be courteous and kind towards any one or anything you write about. Dover isn't perfect and as much as some people who have graced it with their presnese think they are perfect, they aren't either. Graceful is tasteful. Being distasteful, is wasteful... mostly because we will remove your content. What a waste of time that is.
Where To Start
There are a few ways to add information to the Faces Of Dover:
- The best way is to contribute what you know about a topic that's already in the wiki.
We care about quality, not quantity, so being one who maintains the information already stored in the wiki is a really great way to be a contributor.
- Search for a topic using the search bar.
A search for a topic you want to write about is the first thing you should do. It might already be in the wiki. If you don't find the topic, simply click the create this page link to begin adding your topic to the Faces Of Dover. - Look for red colored tags in the body of pages.
When a tag is red it means it is a topic worth a page, but it doesn't have a page created. If you know anything about that tag and want to create the page, go for it.
Additionally, you may want to extend your maintenance skills by creating an outline for discussion about a topic. This could be as simple as creating headers for topics you believe are relevant to the topic, but may not know how to write that area of content. This fuels others to contribute when they access a page by seeing an empty or partially filled page. - This Page. Remember, you can add to (amost) every page in the Faces Of Dover. If you find a better way to describe a method, feel free to add it. Be Bold.
Faces Of Dover Is Not For Everyone
Unlike Wikipedia, Faces Of Dover (New Hampshire!) isn't open to just everyone. Dover, NH history is it's purpose and we ask that only the topics that relate to Dover, NH be included. If you write about a topic and members feel it isn't worthy for one reason or another, your hard work of making that page will be removed. We hate to see good efforts go to waste, so confine your thoughts to Dover and be sure to include a summary (found just above the save page button) when submitting changes so we know why you did what you did. If you don't know much about Dover, search the pages. You might find a few topics that will surprise, but be relevant to you and things you know.
