Editing How to Contribute

== Applying for a User Account ==

'''Like the ''Lost Plays Database'', CADRE is not open to public editing. We are keen to build a welcoming and inclusive community of active researchers, but, to ensure quality control of information shared, all potential contributors are invited to please apply to the general editors for access to a user account. This is not an arduous process and we look forward to hearing from you.'''

To apply for a contributor user account, please email the [[About Us|general editors]] at [mailto:editors@cadredb.net editors@cadredb.net] with the following:
* Your name, in the form you use for publishing, including initials if desired (this will also be your username if your application is approved);
* A brief bio. This information will assist the general editors in determining whether or not your application is suitable, and will also form the basis for the bio publicly available under your username (if your application is approved);
* The statement: "I accept the ''Co-Authored Drama in Renaissance England'' Terms of Service" (see below for the full [[#Terms of Service|Terms of Service]]);
