What you can do to help with the Wiki
- Read the pages and examine the source code until you are familiar with the system and the methods used.
- Book reviews - lots and lots of them.
- Birth and death years for as many authors as possible, both in the author listing and in the biographies.
- Some biographies have been taken straight from Wikipedia and have little to say about the writer's mystery career. These should be edited to give prominence to the detective writings.
- Add authors - British authors are currently under-represented, for instance. Even a one-line entry provides a hook on which someone else can hang details.
- Pictures. Storage space in the Wiki is limited, so wherever possible it is better to link to external images. This is done by putting the image URL in square brackets: e.g. [http://www.litandphil.org.uk/agatha.jpg]
- Short stories. I have indicated these with a preceding asterisk -- * Death Debt -- but I haven't attempted to locate them all or attribute them to magazines. Feel free to add them in but be sure to use the asterisk, or they will be classed as books.
- Approaching publishers who reissue GAD material and a) inviting them to contribute to the Wiki b) noting which books are available from them. I have nothing against using the Wiki as a marketing tool.
- Correcting errors - of which there are bound to be many.

Founder.
