Send me an email at | I feel you. Send me an email at contact@wikispiv.com including everything you've got (lyrics, chords, credits, links to renditions) and we'll add the song at our convenience and discretion. The oldest items in our backlog are over two years old, so if you really want it soon, do it yourself. We are in need of more volunteers. | ||
If you are typing the chords, use a monospace font, where every character is the same width (e.g. Courier, Consolas) so the chords and lyrics are certain to line up the same when I view them. It will look like a typewriter. If you just have pictures or scans, that's fine too, but it will be lower priority given the added work required for us to type it. | |||

Try to make the song name unambiguous. "Іванку" isn't a great name because that could be a few songs. "[[Іванку, Іванку, з того боку ярку]]" is better. | |||

These should probably be better organized. For now they're like this. Sorry. | |||
* Within lyrics (but not titles) you should almost always spell out numbers so it's obvious what language they're in and what declension to use. For example, write "Ю-two", not "Ю2" in lyrics. In titles, Ю2 would still be preferred. | |||
* In half-на-пів songs, generally write English words in English and Ukrainian words in Cyrillic. Exception: If the word is to be pronounced with a heavy English pronunciation, transliterate it instead. For example, write "бараболя" if the "R" is to be rolled, but "barabolya" if you are to pronounce the "R" like one would in American/Canadian English. | |||
