2. Click on the "edit this page" button at the top right.

3. Add your comment or question.

4. Click "save" at the top right on the Editor toolbar.

5. Check the page to make sure it posted.

6. If it didn't post, then go back to the history and copy/paste then post it again.

Information from internet or book sources:
If any idea or piece of information is not your own, you **must** give credit. You should try to put it in your own words, first, but can also use __**short**__ quotes. In parenthesis, please give the name of the website and link it to the webpage. If it's a book, then put the author's name and title of the book in parenthesis.

It should look like this: The Taleban fell in 2001, but has been regrouping recently. It is now a "resurgent force" in the southern and eastern portions of Afghanistan. ([|BBC)]

This is how you can create a link: 1. Click "edit the page"

2. Type the name of a website, then highlight the name of the website, then click on the icon with the globe and paperclip.



3. click the option "external link" and paste the website address (URL).

4. Click "save."

5. Make sure that your link works.

If it is from [|ABC-CLIO]o r a book, just name the source and page, in parenthesis.

Adding images and music:
All pictures on the wiki MUST be Creative Commons licensed. Search on http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons. All pictures MUST have a photo credit with photographer's username and flickr.com. Example:
 * [[image:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3063/2969346057_f32f338094.jpg?v=0 width="178" height="147" caption="Photo by laurencea flickr.com"]] ||

If you find a picture you want to use and it is not on Creative Commons, you should link to it like this, instead: The Taleban requires that women in Afghanistan wear a burqa ([|look at these pictures of Afghani women in burqas)].
