Wikispooks talk:FAQ

Where to start?

I joined Wikispooks just the other day and am working on my first article. I'd like to get some feedback on how to proceed.

You can read what I've written so far @ https://wikispooks.com/wiki/User_talk:WikiBear

The article is complex, partly because I'm a part of the story and partly because it arguably isn't about a real word; it's about a proposed word to replace "antisemitism."

So my first question is simple: Would I be allowed to publish this article online? If so, should I change the wording to it's written in the first person?

If the community accepts the article but doesn't think I should be the author, I'll gladly allow other parties to take what I've written and modify it as needed.

I also have a question about modifying existing articles. Am I allowed to edit them? I read somewhere that editing isn't allowed.

I'm particularly interested in editing the article "Antisemitism." It's a great article, but I'd like to add a links to the website Jewarchy.com and the new Wikispooks article Jewarchism (if it gets published). It might also be nice to add a little information about the anti-Jewarchism campaign. Finally, I'd like to link to a video where former White House correspondent Helen Thomas says (@ 4:38) "I'm Not Anti-Semitic, I'm a Semite!" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLCODdfayQE (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLCODdfayQE

In summary, I need to know if an article about Jewarchy will be approved for publishing before I continue. I then need to know if I'll be allowed to write it or if another party should do the job.

Thank you.

As it says at the top of Project:Read This First, this is an open source encyclopaedia. The policies which guide its development are listed at the Project:Policy page, so you can use that as a point of reference. The more familiar you are with them, the better will likely be your contributions here. Note that the Wikispooks:Document Editing Rules apply only to Documents - that is, 3rd party contributions (chosen by but not authored by Wikispooks editors). As historical documents by particular authors, like the contents of quotation marks, it would be misleading to change them. These pages are easily distinguished from other pages since their names all begin "Document:" or "File:". There are six of them listed at the bottom of the page on "Antisemitism".

All pages other than Documents can be edited by multiple authors. Each page has a separate history which records each editor's separate contributions - but this is not obvious to readers, so as specified to the Project:Style Guide, only the third person should be used. As an editor, you are encouraged either to try to improve the content here at Wikispooks either by editing existing pages or by creating new ones. This could include a page on "Jewarchy". -- Robin (talk) 02:46, 11 January 2016 (GMT)

Wow, the coding and directions are way more confusing than I expected. However, I was finally able to get the Jewarchy piece published @ https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Jewarchy If anyone sees any errors, please let me know. If you're reporting TECHNICAL errors, please explain HOW to fix it, because I don't understand all the code rules. Thanks.
