If you're not sure where to begin contributing, take a look at [[Special:ShortPages]] and [[Special:WantedPages]] for lists of pages that could use attention the most. For now, the primary focus is to get information into this wiki; cleaning it up and making it more presentable can always be done later if you are concerned about the quality of your writing.

Does Wikipedia's [https://enwp.org/WP:NOR No original research] rule apply here? [[User:Quintuplicate|Quintuplicate]] ([[User talk:Quintuplicate|talk]]) 08:27, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

+I'm going to say no, but it isn't something I want to actively encourage. If you choose to do research and post the findings here in a way that is relevant then that's fine, but I think maintaining verifiability and npov is all the more important in that context.

+== Local area articles ==
+Would it be OK to make articles like "Los Angeles" as a more permanent space to refer to and a resource hub when planning meetups of Lain fans? We have threads like [https://www.lainchan.org/r/res/29434.html this] but they're ephemeral and in any case people from different regions are all mixed up together so it's not much of a help. Kind of like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/LA or https://geohashing.site/geohashing/Los_Angeles,_California only for the Lain community.--[[User:Quintuplicate|Quintuplicate]] ([[User talk:Quintuplicate|talk]]) 16:49, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

+I don't think this is the place for planning events - that would should happen in the community that is doing the event. I also don't think making an article for the location would be the right way to handle reporting the event. Instead, I think if meetups happen that are notable, the appropriate place would be on an article about the entity doing the meeting; so in this case, lainchan.
