How to ContributeHelp needed on mindat use

27th May 2014 20:25 UTCNiels van Velzen

In the last couple of months, I have been busy 'updating' and checking all my lables from my entire micromount collection against the mindat database. I have a bunch of locality-labes that I cannot find at all (and of which I have no clue what the labels says) and I have some localities which I believe are either invalid (on my label) or not (yet) in the mindat database.


I have tried to open a new topic in the locality-pages, but I cannot find the 'new topic' button there. Any help is appreciated!


Thanx,

Niels

On the locality page, there is a "Discussion" tab (between search and favorites). The dropdown option is to either go to the discussion page - if there is one, or to create a page in the messageboard. You need to be logged in to see this..

I see what you mean.


What do I do If I have no clue about the location or if the location is not in mindat?


Furthermore, I would like to just make a list of 'issues' that I have (about 30) in a single topic because for me it's much more logical than to create loads of topics. How can I do this? So basically just a topic with "locality issues" as the title.

Since the localities aren't yet in Mindat, best start a new "locality help" topic on the General board, not a localities board.
