+'''For legal reasons, only DD can write and post whole entries on this wiki. This is because the ''Errantry Concordance'' will eventually be a book in print, and the future publisher is almost certain to require that all the material in it be copyright to DD.
-This is because, to avoid possible lawsuits, the future publisher of the ''Errantry Concordance'' may require DD ''not'' to do entries on subjects on which wiki readers have ever posted entries. By creating an entry about a subject you're interested in, you may be making sure that you will never find out what DD has to say about it.
+The ability to create new entries has therefore been locked down. But readers are very welcome to suggest or nominate an entry that they'd like to see written.  You can do that at this page:   [[Refrigerator_Door | the Refrigerator Door.]]
-But you ''can'' suggest or nominate an entry to be written.  Do that at this page:   [[Refrigerator_Door | the Refrigerator Door.]]
+Additionally, registered wiki users will of course be able to comment on entries in each entry's "discussion" section, as well as their own talk pages: and users are invited to drop notes ont DD's talk page to alert her to things that need to be handled.
-Please don't create new entries as a way of suggesting them. These will most likely be deleted. In particular, if the entry in question already exists, duplicates (or near-duplicates) '''definitely''' will be deleted.
+Thanks for your understanding!

-I know that the basic nature of a wiki is to be collaborative, and to encourage give-and-take. This one, though, isn't going to be run that way -- at least as regards the entries themselves.
