4. Start contributing. You can immediately suggest edits to breed profiles.

1. Navigate to any breed profile in the encyclopedia.

3. Make your changes. You can update text, add missing information, or correct inaccuracies.
4. Provide a brief explanation of why you are making the change and cite sources if possible.

Other volunteers can vote on submitted contributions. Contributions with enough positive votes are sent to our team for final approval. You can view and vote on pending contributions at /breeds/contributions.

• New — Starting tier. Submit contributions for review.
• Active — Unlocks access to the review moderation queue.
