That means that as soon as you create your (free) account, you can edit this web page or any other one on this entire site. There are many other people all doing the same thing, all generally friendly and eager to help. We would love for you to join us! + + We hope you will enjoy being a part of the wiki community. Here are some helpful hints that we've found useful for new members: + + 1. If something on a page is incorrect, in a comment or not, it is helpful to clarify it in a way that fits with the rest of the page. Editing can do this better than leaving another comment. Please edit if you see something wrong or unclear and help the wiki! + 1. We are all still learning how to make this the best Wiki for Rochester possible. Please join us in ["Wiki Community/Etiquette" discussion]. + 1. The ["Importance of using your RealName"] cannot be underestimated. + 1. When you leave a review or comment keep in mind that it will reflect on you as much as on the business or other page you are reviewing. + 1. Don't feel like you have to create a whole new entry with your first edit. Many editors contribute by doing the tiny fixes and grooming of existing entries. You too can be a ["Wiki Gnome"]. + 1. Where to get help with editing -- how to use ["Recent Changes"] + 1. When editing... ["Please Remember to Preview"] + 1. Please keep in mind that we do use a ["Neutral Point of View"] (NPOV) in creating pages about businesses. Opinions are best left in the comments section. + 1. We tend to keep ["history"] around here -- ["Gone, But Not Forgotten" Departed businesses], pictures of things that are now gone, names of people no longer involved in an organization, etc. So, please don't delete those, at least without a very good reason. + + Your fellow editors (volunteers like you) have tried to write some introductions specific to what you might be looking to do. Please feel free to read any of these welcome messages that apply to you: + + * ["Welcome to the Wiki/Business Owner" Welcome to the Wiki -- Business Owner]
