I have a question... How do I flag a sysop or bureaucrat when it looks like someone is abusing the wiki? I wonder if it is going on right now, and I have no clue what you guys normally do.

I'll try to answer your question. MormonWiki is like Wikipedia, in that anyone can contribute or edit, and we'd like to have as many people as possible doing that. However, MormonWiki does need supervision. We occasionally have vandalism, and a few of our consistent contributors actually keep an eye out for that. I am an assistant editor for More Good Foundation, which launched MormonWiki, and right now, I'm the one exercising the most vigilance over the Wiki. I'm also editing and writing new articles. If you see something wrong and don't know how to fix it, you can email me at [email protected]. I'll either see that it gets fixed, or tell you how to fix it. Did that answer your question? I also click on the item in the menu to the left that says "recent changes." That's how I found your question. I do that often, so if you make an entry like the one you just made, I will find it.Gboyd 18:23, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Got it. I am new to this program and I did not want to act in a way that was against established policy. Thanks Dumbcomputer 03:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I just moved the above content onto this talk page to make it easier to find. Hopefully this is okay Gale. --Hakawati 13:52, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

All good. Also, if you go from the main page toolbox menu, and click on special pages, there's a choice to block a user who's a vandal. You might need sysops authority to do that, but I have it, so you can notify me. Gboyd 18:14, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

I added a photograph taken by my son-in-law to illustrate B of M geography. I wasn't sure of what text to use with it so change it if needed. Also there are three volcanoes in Antigua so I may not have named the one in the photo correctly. Rickety 21:25, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
