+'''How to edit pages on Gardenology.org...'''
+If you visit a page where the article needs work being rewritten and organized, please feel free to jump in and [[Help:Editing|edit the page]]. This site has a wealth of information that often comes from different sources that need to be combined or rewritten into a unified, relevant article. Before editing any pages, you may need to first request an account: [mailto:support@gardenology.org support@gardenology.org] and log in; you may then want to play in our [[sandbox]] to familiarize yourself with [[Help:Wikitext examples|formatting]]. Adding new plants is as easy as clicking on "Add new plant" on the left hand navigation menu, typing in the name of the plant, and clicking add.
+Articles about gardening should be concise and informative, while articles about plants should present everything a gardener would need to know to grow the plant. The information should always be presented from the gardeners point of view.
