At AboutUs.org we believe that by working together we can create an amazing new wiki resource and guide to websites.
On this page you can find some basic nuts & bolts about our tools and policies surround editing, frequently asked questions, copyright, as well as legal polices.

Editing
As a wiki, AboutUs.org pages are editable. We assume good faith and give everyone the ability to make constructive edits to build this guide to websites by editing the pages about websites that they know something about or operate. Here at AboutUs.org we personally review every edit made to make sure that each is constructive and removing the few that are not. Anyone can also sign up to be notified anytime a page that they care about it is edited.
