+===== Lexeme Article Citations =====
+Articles from print publications should follow standard scholarly formats. For lexeme entries available from this site, whether as PDFs or online articles, we recommend using the following citation format:
+> J.K. Aitken, "<span hebrew>שְׁבִיל</span>". //Semantics of Ancient Hebrew Database//, online edition. [Accessed 01 September 2014] <http://www.sahd.div.ed.ac.uk/lexeme:mgv_shebil_aitken-j_cam_1999>.
+===== Commenting =====
+There is a facility for discussion of lexeme entries, but this is available only to project members. If you wish to contribute a comment on any of the lexemes treated in the Database, please use the [[info:contact|Contact form]]. All such submissions should be fully identified with "real" names, and are subject to moderation.
 ===== Site Search =====
-Dokuwiki includes a built-in search function: the search field is in the upper-right corner of the browser window, with the mangifying-glass icon. {{:info:search.png |}}
+Dokuwiki includes a built-in search function, but it **only searches content saved in the wiki-system itself**. Material held off-site, and the PDFs of the Project Minutes and lexemes are **not** searchable via this facility. At the moment, most of the lexeme articles are available only in PDFs when online (otherwise, in [[info:lexeme_index|print]] [[info:publications|publications]]), but the amount of //searchable// content will be increasing in future.
-Wrap search terms in Hebrew in quotation marks, so ''%%"בְּרָכָה"%%'' rather than ''%%בְּרָכָה%%''.
