A question or two for Fergus, or another CVP editor:

How does one go about submitting an article of the type this one is to CVP (notice that it shows here and there within a small icon of a book with a question mark to indicate it's a CVP 'article' perhaps, but I'm guessing even at that)?

How does one submit a 'CVP review page' e.g. of the type Tim O'Lena wrote long ago for McCooey's Hexagonal Chess (it is linked within the rules page for that game, in that case - it has a small icon of an opened book to indicate its type)?

Are there other kinds of such things that one is not told anywhere how to do on CVP (it seems)? I noticed, for example, an icon of a camera for special entries displaying digital photographs of something or other, given in the Main CVP Alphabetical index.

Also, I cannot find any indication on CVP of how one gets an 'Updated' indication on something one has previously submitted, in the way of a rules page that has been modified since then. In my own case, I've never bothered since I didn't feel the need, but other people may wish to know.

All these little odds and ends above that I've been unable to find out where to read about have been something I've just accepted, but why does there have to be such mysteries to solve, even if one is not a newcomer? A list explaining every sort of icon included the in database that a contributor might one day involve himself with might be helpful, unless it would somehow be far too long, and that is what I think I am mostly getting at with my above questions and comments.
