Lessons learned: Some wiki editors are a bit

introverted and shy

Our Recommendation:

p h o t o @ J e r e m y W e b e r

Please make edits as you see things instead of saving them until you ‘have the time.'

P h o t o @ S h a r m z p a d

Avoid Conflicts of Interest

You should not create or edit artic les about yourself , your family or your c lose fr iends . If you or they are notable enough , someone e lse wil l create the artic le . - W i k i p e d i a
