We've had to temporarily restrict account creation to combat an aggressive spam campaign. | Pipedia brings MediaWiki's powerful collaborative environment to the World of pipes, thus providing a way to mine the vast brain trust we enjoy in the pipe community, and fine tuning the results into accurate easy to access articles. But we need more help! There is still so much work to do! If you have a particular collection focus or an area of expertise, we would love to have your help with creating and editing articles. You can do that directly, by registering, or if you are uncomfortable with adding the information yourself, you can contribute by sending your information and photos to one of our active contributors to add for you. | ||

Once we receive your request an account will be created and a random password emailed to you. When you log in as a registered user you can start editing or adding information yourself. Or if you prefer, you can send information, photos, other materials, or suggested edits to [mailto:sethile.pipes@gmail.com Scott Thile], and we can add them for you. Either way, please consider joining us in the effort to preserve the vast wealth of information we have available to us now before it is lost, or becomes much more difficult to find! | |||
