* To contribute – you can write an article OR add to one and you must publish it in the [[The Bose® L1® Encyclopedia FAQ & Wiki]] | |||
Read about contributing to the wiki here in [[Wiki_Team]] and we have some [[{{PAGENAME}}#Tutorials|quick online video tutorials]] | |||
Note: Once you put an article in the wiki, it can and probably will be edited by someone else. | |||
Please keep a copy of articles you put in the wiki. A good strategy is to create the article in a text editor and then copy/paste it into the wiki. Then make your edits in the wiki. | |||

Prize. | |||
