OK. Some of the manual is a little hard to understand, but I'm only 16 years old, so maybe its just me. I know how to cite my sources now, so that won't be a problem anymore.

New articles, part 3
Please make sure the topic doesn't already exist before creating a new article. This wiki has been around and active long enough that, unless a topic is fairly obscure, there's a good chance that an article has already been created on a given topic, either at an alternate spelling, or as part of another, larger article.
