 * Our approach is to create 2 new pages and add links to &amp; from other existing pages

Material to be added to the wiki
1. Wiki Research toola, tips &amp; tricks

2. Beginning Editing/writing for the wiki

3. Add a blurb on the front page that links to the "What the wiki is, and isn't", with links from that page back to the main wiki page and to basic research tips and editing/contribution tips. It is essential to all users to know the scope of the wiki.
