This page provides basic instructions for editing on SpinProfiles. For the full set of guidelines, policies and help, see the main [[SpinProfiles:Help|Help]] page and policy and guideline pages (link at bottom of this page).
 
 
 
Before you can edit, you'll need to quickly [[SpinProfiles:Register|register]] with a valid email address, which is done to deter spammers and vandals. Once you've registered, editing a page is as easy as clicking the "edit this page" tab at the top of the window."

If editing someone else's writing, leave a note

If you are editing or deleting someone else's writing, it's a common courtesy to leave a note on an article's discussion page (found by clicking the "discussion" tab at the top of the article) explaining your reasons why. It would probably then be a good idea to check back a little later to see if other editors responded. Remember: be cool, be collaborative and talk things out. "Edit wars" are never fun and rarely productive.
