Pointers for adding mines 🙂 ...
(for anybody who is interested/curiious)
Firdtly, please check the mine hasn't already been added; the easiest way of doing this is to type the name into the search box (top right of every page) and hit search. Tip... Just search on the name eg "rhosydd" and not "rhosydd slate mine". Or use the advanced search.
Duplicates create a headache for admins! And confuse people :(
http://www.aditnow.co.uk/Database/ And click the link in the orange box on the right hand side.
There is then one - relatively - simple form where you enter all the information. This is what displays so captialise correctly. Locate the mine by zooming and dragging the map around until you are happy with the location.
When you add a mine the default user and archive photo albums are created automatically; ready for people to upload photos.
I would say add mines under their main product; and you can indicate in the description if worked for other minerals. I appreciate this isn't perfect since it means the mine won't be found if people search by mineral for the secondary product. But its pretty common and is fine when searching just by name (eg lead mines latterly being worked for zinc).
Hope that helps!
my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by
