Contributors guide

This page outlines the goals and member expectations in the DGF project. This follows some of the principles established by Wikipedia. Be bold, but not reckless. If you spot an error, correct it. If you can improve an article, please do so. It is important, however, to distinguish boldness from recklessness. Start off small. Begin by making minor modifications to existing articles before attempting a complete rewrite previous contributions. Many new editors feel intimidated about contributing at first, fearing they may make a mistake. Such reticence is understandable but unfounded. The worst that can happen is that your first edits are deemed not to be an improvement and they get reverted. If this does occur, treat it as a positive learning experience and ask the reverting editor for advice.
