Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Where in America is regarded the "mid Atlantic coast"? Because this description implies that it's around New York, but as a non-American, NY looks very northern. I'd have said mid Atlantic is like...North Carolina and Virginia.

The Mid-Atlantic coast is from Virginia up to New York. The term originated with the 13 colonies, where it was one of three primary groupings, alongside New England (Conn, RI, Mass, NH) and the South (Georgia and the Carolinas).

At that time, Mid-Atlantic was being used in the context of the North American continent, rather than the USA, which didn't yet exist. So if you consider the whole Atlantic coast of North America including Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, it makes more sense.
