Guidelines for editing the directory

  • You do not have to be CNVC-certified to be in the directory, but please try to clearly and accurately describe your level of experience and what you have to offer.
  • Update your information in the directory at least once per year. To make sure the directory stays up-to-date, please update your information at least once a year. (If your information hasn't changed since the year before, just update the date in the line "Date when I last updated this information: ".) Directory entries that are over one year old may be removed (by anyone).
  • Use caution when adding your e-mail address to the directory. Email addresses on web pages are likely to be picked up by spammers who will send you unsolicited email. A better idea is to include your phone number or your website address instead.
  • The directory is a community-maintained system, based on wiki technology. Wikis are designed so that there are no technological restrictions on what users can edit. That means that after you add your information to the directory, anyone else could edit it. Please only add/edit your own information in the directory, unless you have permission from someone else to add/edit their information. Also, occasionally check your information in the directory to confirm that it is still accurate. If you see something in the directory that appears to be vandalism or an error, please edit the directory yourself to remove (or fix) the vandalism or error.
  • Jacob Gotwals created the directory, and he is its current volunteer administrator. If you have an idea for improving the directory, please confirm with Jacob before implementing your idea. For example, contact Jacob before adding a new section to the directory, and before making changes to the instructions on this page. (But you don't need to contact Jacob before adding, editing, or deleting your information in the directory, and you don't need to contact him before fixing obvious problems.) To contact Jacob, click here to send him an email about your idea.
