Overview
Adding a listing is easy.
First, you need to register for an account. Only registered users may create or edit content on Centiare.
Next, you must decide if your Directory listing really belongs in the Directory space, or whether it is more suitable for the Main space pages.
Directory topics should include anything that has standing in a court of law:
- Commercial businesses
- Non-profit organizations and foundations
- Formally organized or registered private clubs
- Governmental bodies
- Living persons (including yourself)
- Deceased persons who still have an active legal estate
- Property (such as Mickey Mouse or Microsoft Word)
Note: at this time, users are allowed to create Directory space articles about entities which they do not own or have a legal interest in. However, keep in mind that you may not use Centiare to libel others; and, if and when the rightful owner of an article topic appears, they can and will "claim" the space, which will be transferred immediately by a Centiare sysop.
Main space pages should include everything else that doesn't have standing in a court of law. This would include things and processes like:
- Rainfall
- Fiber optic cable
- Sir Isaac Newton
- The Rocky Mountains
- Glue
- International Society of Hot Sauce Aficionados
- Surfing
