What you can do to help improve the HvWiki

Here are some links to get started:

New articles that need proofreading and in some cases content

Short pages that probably need more content

Articles marked as stubs that probably need more work

You don't need to spend a lot of time, if everyone did just a tiny amount of once a month we would double the amount of content in a surprisingly short time.

There is no need for you to be an expert to do something helpful either, if a page is confusing then click on the Discussion tab for the page and say so. People with a lot of knowledge of a subject have a tendency to write articles that are too complicated for people that are still learning about the subject.

Starting a new article is helpful even if you don't have the time to complete it, then someone else that is out of ideas will probably see it and complete it. Just creating the page and add the { { stub } } tag will be helpful.

If you don't have time to work on the wiki, you could try to come up with a few ideas of articles that needs writing and post them here or PM them to me.

Wikipedia's license is not the same as the HvWiki, so content cannot be copied and pasted between the two. It's unfortunate, but wikipedia's license didn't provide the kind of protection that the HvWiki needed.

I didnt want to make a new post about this, so i put it here.

I just noted that the HvWiki doesent have a link back to 4hv.org. That would be useful wink
