Questions before beginning a Case Study

How can I add a case study?

Simply add the name of the Case Study in the box on the Case Studies page. You'll be directed to an easy form to enter the details. If you haven't done so already, you'll need to login or sign up for an account on this wiki.

What is appropriate for a Case Study?

Anything and everything that uses the CC licenses. Not certain that something should be added as a Case Study? Add it anyway and others will help you make it better.


Have an idea for a case study but can't execute?

Add your request to Talk:Case_Studies.

I want to work on a case study but don't have ideas

See requests at Talk:Casestudies, find an existing case study to improve, look for "featured commoners" who do not yet have a case study.

What are some example quality case studies that I should imitate?

See Case_Studies#Featured_Case_Studies.
