How to ContributeQuestion about adding photo's to my home page

4th Jun 2016 10:13 UTCWilfred Hemme

I'm working on adding my complete collection into my Mindat home page. During adding photo's to my specimens a small problem occur: you must add a locality for each specimen otherwise you can't complete adding the photo. But what if the locality is unknown ? I tried 'unknown' and 'none' but that won't work.


Much appreciated if anyone can help me with this problem.

Type of photo "Mineral without valid locality"

If you know the location but it isn't in Mindat it can be added. In my region of the US I've added many localities to the database. An Admin will have to approve it. I recommend reading the Mindat Manual prior to adding any localities as there are parameters that need to be met and it makes Admins job much easier if they are followed. Once you are familiar with the manual and what is required it is really quite easy to add a new locality.
