How to contribute
Anyone can suggest additions to the Atlas.
Adding an entry
To add a new entry, follow this link and draw a shape around the region you'd like to describe.
Make sure that the lines you're drawing don't form a self-intersecting polygon.
When you're happy with the shape you've drawn, press Enter.
You will now be able to enter some information about the highlighted region:
- Name: A short, descriptive name.
- Description: A short description that will also be understood by somebody not familiar with the topic. Usually, the first sentence on Wikipedia is a good example.
- Website: If you're describing a project, the project's main website would be suitable here.
- Subreddit: The subreddit that's either most relevant to the topic, or that was responsible for creating the artwork. Format it like this: "/r/subreddit".
All fields but the name are optional.
A country flag doesn't need a description, for example.
Once you've entered all the information, you'll be presented with a pop-up window containing some JSON-formatted data. Copy the entire JSON text, and create a new text post to this subreddit.
Remember to flair your post with "New Entry".
#Changing existing entries
Currently, you'll just have to make a new post with the "Edit Entry" flair and describe which post should be changed in what form.
In the future, I plan to make it possible to directly link to entries.

Put only the generated code in your submission text, and nothing else. Write a comment if there's something else you'd like to say, and separate multiple entries with a comma.
