First, create an account by going [[Special:Userlogin|'''HERE''']] -- or else donate your content anonymously (however, anonymous accounts are restricted on protected pages).
Go [[Help:How to Help|here]] for a crash course on simple wiki editing.  Don't be afraid to make a mess at first -- getting the information here is the hard part.  You or someone else can tidy things up later.
 
To improve, update, or correct an article, sign in and click on the article's <FONT style="border: 1px #0F0F00 solid; background: #FFFFEF;">'''edit'''</FONT> tab at the top of the page.  You can click on the <FONT style="border: 1px #0F0F00 solid; background: #FFFFEF;">'''Show preview'''</FONT> button to test your revision and press <FONT style="border: 1px #0F0F00 solid; background: #FFFFEF;">'''Save page'''</FONT> button when you are finished with it.
 
To create a new article, simply add the name of the page that you would like to create to your browser's address bar.  If the title contains two or more words, add an underscore instead of a space.  For example, the address for the article about current national chair '''Bill Redpath''' is written as follows:
 
    http://www.lpedia.org/index.php/Bill_Redpath
 
You would then see a page telling you that the article did not exist (unless it already exists, as is the case).  Simply click on the <FONT style="border: 1px #0F0F00 solid; background: #FFFFEF;">'''edit'''</FONT> tab to create and save your entry as described above.
 
If your editing skills aren't as good as you wish they were, note that you can improve the article later, and so can any other editor.


You can also create a user page in the form of User:''YourUserName'' or just click on the red link of your user name to tell other editors about yourself and decorate it with  Wikipedia-style [[LPedia:Userboxes|'''userboxes''']].
