Welcome to [[my]] mess of knowledge.
There are many things that are too tedious for [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] to be concerned with tracking - mostly "[[:Category:How-To|How-To]]" style articles. That's exactly what [[I]]'m looking to keep here.
This wiki wouldn't exist without the kind efforts of [http://www.garagejournal.com GarageJournal.com], [http://www.practicalmachinist.com PracticalMachinist.com], [http://vintagemachinery.org/ VintageMachinery.org], [http://www.jalopyjournal.com JalopyJournal.com], nor [http://home.comcast.net/~alloy-artifacts/ Alloy Artifacts].
If you're familiar with the wiki formatting and have something to add, please feel free to. If you're not comfortable with it, you can private message me (or e-mail me dayid@dayid.org) and I will add it myself. Please don't be offended if things you do are modified, this is a lot of information and it's important to keep it all organized *just right*!
Files that aren't linked to articles will be removed fairly swiftly. Also, ifIf you add information, please link to a source (exampleswhen are in almost every page/article here)possible. If you're uploading an old chart/data page - add the information to the page! Having an old catalog page is fine, but if the information from it isn't added to the ID Chart, etc - then we may as well not have it at all. If you don't feel like adding it in that manner, then send it to me and I'll do it for you. The thing that can happen here is if someone else uploads a catalog/info page, and I don't notice it, then there could be information sitting here on the wiki (in that image) that never gets copied into the pages/text where it can be easily read/searched.
Keep filenames reasonable and categorize your files/pages also. Again, I'mif notany tryingof tothis be a hassle, but if thatdoesn'st toomake hard,sense then please just send the data to me and I'll doput it so that I'm not having to chase around and play clean-up.
