1. when a new name appears on the list, check to see if they indicated they are FHC staff. If they did indicate they were FHC Staff, you will do nothing. If they aren't FHC Staff, go to #2

2. First check User Contributions (on Special Pages).


 * a.  If the user has made valid contributions to the wiki, then grant them rights (User Rights Management) to edit on the wiki.  Then send them email #4 telling them their privileges have been granted.
 * b.   If the username is registered, but there are no contributions then investigate the person.
 * 1. Check the FHC Director spreadsheet.  If their e-mail address appears there, then you know they are a valid contributor.  Indicate this on the spreadsheet and go to the next name on the list.  You will not contact them.
 * 2. Check the LDS intranet to see if they are a member.  If so, they are most likely a valid contributor and you can granat them editing rights and send them email #4
 * 3. Go to Google and Google their email address and username (if they gave one) separately.
 * a. If they appear on Ancestry or FindAGrave, look to see their contribution there. If it is real, then they are a valid contributor and you can grant them uesr rights and send them email #4
 * b. If the e-mail address appears anywhere else, check that site to see if it is a list of known spammers or a valid entry.
 * 1. If a name is on a known spammer list, then send email #3.
 * 2. If the e-mail does not come up in a Google search, and they did not tell you where they wanted to edit, then send them email #4 to verify their address and see where they want to edit.
 * 3. If they have already given you information about the page they want to edit and what they want to contribute, send email #5


 * c   If they gave you no username, use email #2 to request that information.
 * d   If they gave you a username that is not registered, use "email #1" to let them know and ask for the correct uername

3. Go to the spreadsheet and record the date you made contact with the user.
