The community votes
Your edit goes into a review queue. Once it gets enough upvotes from other users, it's automatically approved and merged into the article.

Earn points
Accepted edits to an existing article are worth 5 points, and a new article you write is worth 50 points. Every upvote on your edits and comments is worth 1 point. Downvotes cost you one. Your total shows up on your profile.
You can also suggest new courses from the Courses page. If enough people upvote your suggestion, it'll be next in line to be built.
