Don't write whole entries! But you can suggest them.

Only DD can write and post whole entries. She can't read Concordance entries she hasn't written herself: for legal reasons, they have to be deleted.

But you can suggest or nominate an entry to be written. Do that at this page: the Refrigerator Door.

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.

All pages containing Concordance entries will be locked so that only DD can edit them. Registered wiki users will of course be able to comment on entries in each entry's "discussion" section. They'll also be able to create their own pages about an entry's content: DD will have a look at these on a regular basis to see what kind of action they seem to require -- an alteration of old content, addition of new content, whatever.
