Suggested Terms (not Topics. Entries requiring more than a simple definition should be placed in the Collaborative Articles section.) Pictures are always helpful (be sure to credit the source). "See also this website for more information." is handy also. Make the definition your own; do not plagiarize. While quoting from wikipedia.com or similar is frowned upon, we realize that sometimes it is the best or only source. If you do copy from another page, use /QUOTE tags, (like {quote}quoted text{/quote}, Replace all braces {} with brackets [].), and post the URL of the site.
To define a term, just click the term in red below. Clicking on a word or phrase that has a yellow dotted underline, like LEKO, will take you to an article that already exists for viewing and editing.
Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to add to this list also. Come across a term you think should be included? Just edit this page, and put the term inside {wiki}tags{/wiki}. Replace all braces {} with brackets []. Someone will get around to it eventually.
