Build a Wiki page for the NewUniverse
Could You Build a Page? The chances are yes, you can! You can include, within reason, any material you wish, on any subject. Although we would ask you not to include bad language, racist or offensive material or adult content. These will either be refused, or deleted immediately. Apart from that the choice is yours.
I already understand how a Wiki works take me straight there create your page
How Can I Contribute?
Firstly think about adding a page or pages! Do you have a passion for a topic? Do you want to help promote your site? On a Wiki just about anything is possible. We've all seen Wikipedia, but might think their strict regime a little too stifling so have avoided adding to it. Here the rules are more relaxed.
We understand not everyone is an expert. That's why we positively encourage first-timers. So you make a few mistakes: So what! Who cares? The world's not perfect - and we all have to start somewhere. Any page you place is open to edit, and who knows, maybe others can help you expand your knowledge
How long does it take?
How long is a piece of string? Time is irrelevant: you come back as often as you like, and add more when you like; although others might have added in the mean time. You can link to other pages on the Wiki, or link externally to your own site or others.
What about Wiki protocol?
It's simple; treat others as you'd like to be treated yourself. Think what bugs you? The chances are - it will bug others as well. Therefore keep your page informative, explain why your views are your views, don't just expect others to share them. Present a logical, well rounded argument, not just a rant.
Should I just promote my website?
Not really. What you should do is explain the content of your website; give a clear expression of what your site is about, why you chose to build the site, what you hope to achieve by it. A Wiki isn't just an advert; far from it. It's a community. It's like-minded people sharing a common interest and expanding their beliefs, knowledge and passions. People will be more inclined to visit you, if you have something interesting to say. So don't just cut and paste. Offer a synopsis on various pages, punctuate with images. Remember, whether someone goes to your pages or reads them here, the outcome is the same: you get your message across!
Can experts contribute?
Of course. But please remember a true expert doesn't belittle, they understand and offer their wisdom sensitively. Sometimes experts need to be patient. Example: A scientist isn't instantly going to convince a creationist about physics and the big bang. It's the undecided your beliefs should be aimed at. Ergo, structure your page on a logical argument; don't force it down their throat. Rational thinking, delicately explained will receive a better response than a forceful, uncompromising approach. Remember, as an expert in a specific field, you are a standard-bearer of knowledge, and thus, should nurture the unimformed gently
