| Ashleylmack, welcome again to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for helping to improve our online encyclopaedia, and sorry for all the psychodrama of the past few days. Despite the occasional excitement, helping to build and improve Misplaced Pages can be a rewarding hobby or occasional pastime. The links you added to the IUPUI Digital Archives were all high quality, and I hope you continue adding such links as carefully as you did those ones. As I said earlier, I have reviewed ''every one'' of your ], and found them all to be valuable additions to our project. Thank you and please keep up the good work. | |||
| But there's more you can do to help. When you look things up on Misplaced Pages in the course of your studies of work, you will inevitably come across errors, or just things that you think could be written better. Perhaps something as simple as a misspelling, or perhaps a relevant fact you know that isn't there. When you do so, just log in and fix it. If you're unsure, and think perhaps the Misplaced Pages version is correct after all, check the Discussion page, and see if it's already been raised; if it hasn't, raise it there, and see if anyone else has a good source to determine the facts. | |||
| If you come across something really weird, that can't possibly be right, the first thing to check is the History. Often you'll find that the oddity that caught your eye was only put there a few minutes or hours ago, by some kid who thinks it's funny to say that the War of 1812 was fought between China and Olympus Mons, and ended in 1736. That happens often at Misplaced Pages, but it usually gets fixed pretty quickly, because readers like you find it and fix it. That's how we get an encyclopaedia that, outside political articles, is more accurate than the Britannica. And you can be part of making and keeping it so. | |||
