EcoWiki:Jump in

From EcoWiki

Activists and advocates for the environment and social justice are renowned for their courage and self-confidence. This is lucky because being a contributor to EcoWiki requires the same qualities. We expect you to jump in into the task of authoring, editing, and illustrating articles on EcoWiki. You can edit any article on EcoWiki, and we hope that you do. We need your knowledge, your experience, your talent, and your attention.

Jumping in means:

  • Being assertive. Your knowledge and experience count!
  • Experimenting. There's really not much permanent damage you can do to EcoWiki. If things get really broken, other contributors will come in and fix them.
  • Doing what's OK right now. You don't have to upload a perfect article fully formed the first time around. Just add a stub if you don't quite know what to say. Get your thoughts down, and let others expand on them. That's how Wiki works!
  • Ignoring authority. You have as much right to edit anything on EcoWiki as anyone else does. Don't bother asking whether it's all right to edit something. It is!

So jump in! You just might enjoy it!
