Adding new information

Recently read something and are looking on the Lexicanum for more information but cant find anything? Add any and all information you can or are willing to a new or existing relevant page. As long as you follow the correct formatting and sourcing guidelines then you addition will be welcomed!

Improving Sources

Every so often during your reading of the Lexicanum, you may come across a page which is not sourced very well, with either little or no footnotes. If you have the source material mentioned on the pages sources then you could verify the information withn the page and footnote appropriately what you can.

Contribute Text!

Many of you may have already written texts similar to those in the Lexicanum. Maybe for themselves, for friends or even for school (eg. reviews). If you have all the rights to this text, ie. you have written the text all by yourself and there is no other person with rights on your work, then you can contribute it to LEXICANUM. This way the text can be viewed by everyone including you and is protected from legal claim from third persons.

If you have already published your text elsewhere in the internet, eg. on your private homepage, please add a small comment identifying you as the author. This is necessary, because some users copy texts from copyrighted sources, which we have to delete in case of doubt.

Link orphaned pages!

For beginners it is a good exercise to link orphaned pages to make them accessible from other pages. You can find these pages under Orphaned Articles. Find articles that fit to an orphaned page and add a link to the unaccessible page. The easiest way to accomplish this is to add an internal link:
