===FAQ===

* '''Why was my article removed from OAD?'''
:OAD only includes factual lists, not articles, narratives, or opinions. For more details, see the [[Editorial Policy|editorial policy]].

* '''How can I suggest a new list for OAD?'''
: If you wish to propose a new list for OAD, just add it to our list of [[Proposed lists|proposed lists]]. To move an idea from the proposal stage to reality, or move an existing list from another site to OAD, please [mailto:OAD.contact@gmail.com email] one of our editors.

* '''Will OAD editors control my content?'''
: Our goal is for the OA community itself to enlarge and correct the lists with little intervention from our editors or editorial board. The OAD editors and editorial board will only ensure that the content complies with the [[Editorial Policy|editorial policy]].

* '''Can I upload images and other documents?'''
: The OAD does not include an upload feature because we focus on simple factual lists and want to maintain ‘light’ web pages that can be accessed even by users with very slow internet connections.

* '''Why couldn't I edit an OAD page?'''
: Editing privileges are limited to registered users. See the [[Editorial Policy|editorial policy]].

: Users may only edit pages with an ‘Edit’ tab. Pages without an ‘Edit’ tab may be edited only by administrators.

: OAD uses the same wiki software as [http://www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia]. For editing instructions, therefore, see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial instructions] at [http://www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia].
