[edit] I'd like to contribute to VFRwiki. What should I do?

You can do many things! Below are just some things to contribute to VFRwiki.

[edit] Point out problems

A lot of people get started on VFRwiki because they are reading an article and say to themselves, "That isn't right." If you know just what to do to fix something that isn't right, simply click the Edit button at the top of the page and make your changes!

[edit] Create new articles

Creating a new article is often a very useful thing to do, especially if there are lots of articles linking to an empty page.

VFRwiki articles contain lots of links to other articles. Blue links represent pages that do exist. Green links point to pages that don't yet exist. Presumably, whoever created the link thought that an article on the topic should exist. It's possible this was a bad idea, and the link should be removed. It's also possible they made a spelling error or didn't know the correct name for a page on the same (or a more general) topic that does exist. In this case, you could fix the link, and/or create a redirect. If you decide there should be an article at the other end of the link, by all means start writing it!

[edit] Start with outside research

Feed your appetite for knowledge. Pick a subject about which you know relatively little but have always been curious or want to remedy a guilty ignorance. If you already know a lot about something, the best references in the field might know more, or might be a helpful reference for other readers or helpful to you in your writing.

Try to find good online and print resources. Using good references is a way of improving VFRwiki, which will be increasingly important as VFRwiki grows and becomes more and more relevant. Doing research also makes it easier to think of material to add and allows you to improve any article, even one you didn't know much about.

Write about something you don't know about. Use this as an excuse to research a new topic. As you learn about it, write what you are learning here on VFRwiki. This is actually a good study aid because it forces you to take notes, to organize information, and to put what you've learned into your own words.

[edit] Publicize VFRwiki

You can help VFRwiki by spreading the word to riding buddies and other websites.

[edit] Thank you

Your positive contributions are what make VFRwiki possible.
