Why so complex?

Some wonder why we have to go through so many steps in order to make a new page. Well, wiki's are wonderful and powerful tools for communicating. Because of this power, advertisers and other spammers will fill pages with content that has nothing to do with the topic of the website, if they can do it easily. For this reason, and other security reasons, form submissions and other methods of automatic content generation are not used. If you prefer, you can send your research submission by email to jccampana[at]gmail[dot]com.
