# Wiki Style
# LRS Wiki Style/Rules/Meta/Etc.
This outlines the style and rules of this Wiki that should ensure "quality" and consistency. You should read this before contributing.

- **Britannica online**: proprietary, but articles are nicely written, facts are in the public domain so we can steal them.
- **Archives: [Internet Archive](internet_archive.md), [Archive Team Wiki](https://wiki.archiveteam.org/), [archive.li](https://archive.li/), ...**: Most information once available on the Internet is most likely no longer accessible nowadays (taken down, privatized, censored, no longer indexed, ...). Look in the archives!
- **[wikiwikiweb](wikiwikiweb.md)**
- **Ask people lol**: sometimes you can't find a piece of information anywhere (for example which rendering technique was used in an old proprietary game) but if you just send a short mail to someone (the game's programmer), he just gives you the information in a second. People often just forget this and spend countless hours digging for something when they can just write one email.

People often just forget this and spend countless hours digging for something when they can just write one email. Also just randomly talking to nerds on IRC and similar network often leads you to finding interesting topics to research which you wouldn't even think about.
- **[Wiby](wiby.md), marginalia and other non-commercial search engines**: this will find nice small non-commercial sites of tech and other nerds that Google suffocates under bloatsites (or simply censors)
- **[Project Gutenberg](gutenberg.md)**: mostly older books but there are already some computer related books like [RMS's](rms.md) biography or [Jargon File](jargon_file.md)
- **University theses** (and scientific paper of course): many university theses are publicly accessible and usually nicely sum up topics, bachelor level theses may be better understandable than PhD/master theses.
