How+to+Post+Your+Disclosure

Welcome to the Wiki for the Los Angeles Metro Debate League. We will use this space as a league to disclose the affirmative and negative argument positions that each partnership of debaters is arguing throughout the season.

Note: Before attempting to post your disclosure you will need to:
=== **A. Create a Wikispaces.com account by visiting the following site: []** === === **B. Request access to edit this Wiki by clicking the following link: []** ===

To post your disclosure, follow the instructions below:

1. In the left hand sidebar of the page, click on the name of your school to access your school's Wiki page (see Figure 1).



2. To add your partnership to your school's page, click the **Edit** button in the upper right hand corner (see Figure 2).



3. To add your partnership, follow the following steps: a) Type your partnership name into the text field under both the Aff and Neg sections. You should include the word "Aff" or "Neg" after your partnership's name (see Figure 3).



b) Highlight your partnership name and click the **Link** button in the bar above the text field to create a new page for your partnership (see Figure 4). You will have to do this once for the Aff and once for the Neg.



c) A new window will pop up. Click the **Add Link** button to create your partnership's page (see Figure 5).



d) This will create a new Wiki page for your partnership. When you have done this for both the Aff and the Neg sides, click the **Save** button in the editing bar above the text field to proceed (see Figure 6).



4. After saving the page, click on the links you just created to access your partnership's pages.

Follow the following steps to fully disclose: a) Click the Heading 2 option in the drop-down menu to type the name of the position you are disclosing for (see Figure 8). **Note:** You do not need a new page for each position. Typing the name of each new position in Header 2 will keep each position on your page separate and clear.



b) Type or copy and paste your disclosure for each position below their respective position heading. Full disclosure for a position should include the following information for all cards within the position: Tag (bold), Cite (Author name and year of publication following by the title of the article/book from which the card was cut, the volume/chapter in which one could find the card, and page numbers if available), First four and last four words of the card (see Figure 9 below for an example).
