Content Criteria and writing guidelines

Cite your sources

Much of the content in this wiki exists on other official Evergreen web pages. Please provide links to the original sources of content when at all possible.

Keep it simple

This wiki is about communicating information. The more simply and straightforwardly the information is presented, the more readily it will be understood by a broad audience.

Format text for scan-ability

Often a numbered or bulleted list is easier to absorb than a dense paragraph.

Categorize it!

If your article does not fit in any of the existing categories feel free to create the appropriate category. If this needs to be linked off of the home page you can contact Amy Greene.
