brand new editor

Is there a site for someone who has just become an editor? How do I 1) place a BugGuide post on the species page? Also, question: If someone submits an image that does not give enough information to ID to species ... is it proper to gently suggest they re-post? Can contributors who are not editors frasss some of their images?

Thanks, the psocid woman ... Diane Young

Moving other contributors' images
is the same as moving your own. Just tag them, go to the page where you want them, click on images and then move tagged images. It is fine to make any suggestions you might have to improve the ability to ID images. The more contributors know about what is needed to make identifications the better their future images will be. Contributors can frass their own images, but they don't need to. They can simply click on Edit and Delete their own images. The contributor is the only one with the power to delete their images. Finally, lots of helpful information can be found on the Help tab above
