-==Advantages of wiki articles==
+== A Wiki Needs Articles, Not Files<br/> ==
-Of course, it takes more time and effort to create, edit and update articles on energypedia than quickly uploading an existing document, however, we strongly believe that it is worthwhile. Providing information via wiki articles instead of documents has some clear advantages:
-'''Traceability of information'''
 With energypedia's internal search mask you can not only search the page titles for specific key words but also the whole article. This full text search allows you to find any reference to your preferred topic in the whole wiki platform, however, the content of documents is exempted from this due to technical reasons. As a result, information in articles is easier to find for other users than information saved and uploaded in files.
-'''Information creation'''
+A collection of ten uploaded documents contributes very little to information creation especially if all files had already been available on the Internet. In contrast, if the main aspects of these documents are summarized and compared with each other in an energypedia article, this condensed information will not only be helpful for other users to get a quick overview (without having to read ten different documents) but also new insights and questions might arise due to the content comparison.

+Hence, please restrain your uploading behaviour to a minimum and think first if it is really necessary to upload a file or not.
 == So what should you do? ==
 Instead of uploading documents, we like to encourage you to apply one of the following methods to incorporate content on energypedia:
+=== <br/>Link to the Online Available Document<br/> ===
-'''Link to the online available document'''
 The easiest way to draw attention to an interesting document is to link to the respective file on the Internet. For example, you can add the link to a “Further reading” section at the end of a suitable article already existing on energypedia.

-'''Quote little extracts'''
 Little extracts (not more than a few lines) can be quoted in energypedia articles. However, these passages have to be clearly marked as quotes by using quotation marks (“) and indicating the source.

-'''Summarize in your own words'''
+Clearly the best option is to summarize relevant content in your own words and include these passages into existing articles. For example, you can try to incorporate facts, arguments, results, recommendations, etc. in an existing article or – if the topic has not yet been touched upon – you can create a new article. But no matter what you do, please make sure to cite properly in order to avoid plagiarism.
