Easy ways to help
Fix typos
If you see a spelling or grammar error, fix it! Just remember one thing. People from around the world can add to Humane Earth. Their English might be different from yours. All types of English can be used here.
Do not change the spelling if it is correct in some place, except to make the spelling the same throughout a page. If you are not sure, do not change it!
Undo vandalism
Vandalism includes all changes clearly not meant to make pages better. This includes deleting part of a page. It includes writing things that do not make sense. It includes writing anything that is clearly not right. You can help by undoing vandalism.
Redirect links
Some links should point to the same page. For example: architecture, architect, building, and buildings. You might find a red link that should point a page that already exists. You can redirect it.
Mark things that need a source
Most of Humane Earth is people's ideas about a more humane world. Anything that describes how the world should be does not need a source. Anything that describes what a word means does not need a source.
Anything that describes how the world is does need a source. If something needs a source but does not cite one, you can mark it. It helps more, though, to actually find a source (read below).
More advanced ways to help
One advanced way to help is citing sources. Another is making language plain.
