Guide to adding content
The purpose of this wiki is to gather information about persons, companies, ships and places in order to be able to see patterns otherwise overlooked.
The most essential part is obviously the people of the past. When adding a page about a new person, first search for the page in the of lastname, firstname, for instance if you are looking for the merchant Michael Fabritius, search for "Fabritius, Michael". If the page exists, you can read it as well as add information or edit the page. If the page does not exist, you are given the possibility of starting it.
It is recommended that you check the list of all pages (below) to make sure that the page does not already exist under a slightly different name.
Sources
It is essential to add sources to all information added to the wiki, otherwise it will be worthless for others. For a book or article write (lastname, year). If the information comes from Biografisk Leksikon, add (BioLek I) (or II or III). If you use a new source, immediately add it to the page Sources & Litterature.
