Adding a listing is easy.
Adding a listing is easy.

First, you need to [http://www.centiare.com/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup register] for an account. Only '''registered users''' may create or edit content on [[Directory:Centiare|Centiare]].
+
+
Next, you must decide if your Directory listing really belongs in the [[Centiare:Directory namespace|Directory]] space, or whether it is more suitable for the [[Centiare:Main page|Main space]] pages.
+
+
'''Directory''' topics should include anything that has standing in a court of law:
+
:*Commercial businesses
+
:*Non-profit organizations and foundations
+
:*Formally organized or registered private clubs
+
:*Governmental bodies
+
:*Living persons (including yourself)
+
:*Deceased persons who still have an active legal estate
+
:*Property (such as Mickey Mouse or Microsoft Word)
+
+
<blockquote>Note: at this time, users are allowed to create Directory space articles about entities which they do not own or have a legal interest in. However, keep in mind that you may not use Centiare to libel others; and, if and when the rightful owner of an article topic appears, they can and will "claim" the space, which will be transferred immediately by a Centiare sysop.</blockquote>
+
+
'''Main space''' pages should include everything else that doesn't have standing in a court of law. This would include things and processes like:
+
:*Rainfall
+
:*Fiber optic cable
+
:*[[Sir Isaac Newton]]
+
:*The Rocky Mountains
+
:*Glue
