The Importance of Ensuring an Up-To-Date Email Address

Your email address serves as a particularly valuable piece of information as it:

1. Enables wiki administrators and/or other wiki user's to contact said individual:
   • Enhancing the social networking capabilities of the site (i.e. by way of providing other wiki users an alternative, yet traditional and formal means of communication)
   • Ensuring the attributability and accountability of all material posted
2. Assists in general wiki maintenance and administration:
   • Serving as a secondary means by which wiki users are notified about changes and/or developments on the site (i.e. pending and/or ongoing interruptions to service, as well as changes and/or modifications to pages included within a wiki user's watchlist)
   • Being the primary channel in which a series of relatively routine issues pertaining to this wiki can be addressed (i.e. sending confirmations for password resets)
