News New Glossary - please submit terms to help the community

[Art]

Hi ScapeCrunchers!

As has been raised several times, our hobby can be full of names, terms, etc that make it hard for someone new (or not so new) to really understand. To help the community, we now have our very own, brand new Glossary. Our hope is that, over time, the glossary becomes more and more useful to everyone as terms are added in.

You have been granted the power to submit terms to our Glossary. Just go to the Glossary and click on the big green button that says "Add Term" and fill in the fields. When you submit, it will be sent to one of the moderators for approval and then addition into the ever-growing Glossary. You will then feel a warm and pleasant feeling all over for having helped your fellow ScapeCrunchers!

Please, we all have a lot of terms in our heads that can be added. Go now and get in the habit of adding one or two a day. In no time we will have a robust glossary of planted aquarium terms!

Thanks and all the best,
Art

Hi folks! Bumping this up into your New Posts section. We could really use your help adding terms to the new Glossary.

We don’t need perfection. Just add a term and describe it as you to a friend. Then submit. Easy peasy.

Thank you!

So, can we edit these after the fact and/or get some help proofreading these? Despite my best efforts, I am terribly prone to skipping words and other embarrassing typographical errors and I wouldn't want them committed to the glossary. If that's not possible I understand; I'm just feeling out the process.

@ElleDee great question and the answer is, yes, absolutely. Nothing is set in stone and you should be able to edit your own entry.

In fact, if you want to add to anyone else’s, just let me know and we can do that too. Of course, with notification to the original poster.

Thank you!

Bumping for the weekend crowd! We can really use your help growing our Glossary.

Many said this would be helpful to people so would appreciate it if you would commit to adding a few words that cross your mind.

Teamwork makes the dream work!

Bumping this to everyone's top.

Be a friend and submit a term to our glossary. When you run into one of our hobby terms, do everyone a favor by adding it to the glossary. It's super easy and it will make a difference to someone.

Thank you!!
