In order to contribute or edit material in SpinProfiles, you need first to register as a User. Before you submit an article, please note that the following Help pages are required reading for all contributors to SpinProfiles:
- Editorial policy | Libel policy | Guide to referencing | Guide to sourcing | Guide to tone | Copyrights | How to start a page | How to structure an article | Etiquette
By submitting an article, you are confirming that you have read the policies and guidelines in these pages and agree to adhere to them.
Submitting an article is very easy! Start with the "Standard Layout" to fill in by entering the article title below.
To use the standard layouts (with predefined sections and sub-sections), type the article name in Box 1a (for individuals) or Box 1b (for organisations and institutions):
Top Tips:
- Just type in the name with spaces between words as normal.
- Use capital letters for the first letter of each word.
- Use the real names of people instead of any grand title they may have. So 'Lynda Chalker' and not 'Baroness Chalker'
- Leave out "The" from titles except where absolutely necessary. So it's "Heritage Foundation", not "The Heritage Foundation", BUT "The Times" because just "Times" wouldn't make sense.
For a page related to a specific Portal please use the appropriate box below:
Box 1a Names of people (generic):
Box 1b Names of organisation or institution (generic):
