Uploading Named Author, Protected Files

To upload a file by a named author and then have it protected:


1 Carefully choose a short title, starting with:

    (1) the author's last name,
    (2) followed by a colon,
    (3) followed by a short title in quotes,
    (4) followed by a comma within the quotes,
    (5) followed by the day, month, year of first publication, or just the month and year, or just the year
         if that is all the info you have.

Here's an example: Katz: "Invention of Heterosexuality," March 1995


2 Type the short title in the search box.


3 Search for the title.


4 Click on the title.


5 Add text to the entry with your title.


6 Be sure to click on the "Save Page" box at the very bottom of the entry.
