## New Atlas entries
-> **Warning**: **WE ONLY ACCEPT NEW ENTRIES ON REDDIT!**
-
To contribute to the map, we require a certain format for artwork region and labels. This can be generated on [the drawing mode](https://place-atlas.stefanocoding.me?mode=draw) on the website.
To add a new entry, go to [the drawing mode](https://place-atlas.stefanocoding.me?mode=draw) and draw a shape/polygon around the region you'd like to describe. You can use the Undo, Redo, and Reset buttons to help you creating a good polygon. Make sure that the lines you're drawing don't form a [self-intersecting polygon](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Complex_polygon.svg/288px-Complex_polygon.svg.png).

+Once you've entered all the information, you'll be presented with a pop-up window containing some [JSON](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON)-formatted submission data. Depending on the method, there are two preferred methods.
+
+### Through Reddit
+
+You can press the Post Direct to Reddit button and just press the send button on Reddit, or copy the entire JSON text and [create a new text post on the subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/placeAtlas2/submit). You don't need to add any other text; just directly send the data.
Remember to flair your post with New Entry. On New Reddit, click the Flair button on the bottom part, and select New Entry. On Old Reddit, click the select button on the "choose a flair" section instead.
+### Through GitHub
+
+If you know about Git and how to create a pull request on GitHub, you can try create a patch that will be merged, along with other patches, by one of the members.
+
+You can use the provided `tools/create_patch.py` script. This script helps you to create a working patch, along with additional data such as your name for attribution sakes. Simply run the script inside the `tools/` folder and follow the given instructions.
+
+If you want to do this manually (e.g. you don't have Python), you can create a patch by creating a `.json` file inside `data/patches`, with the content of the JSON-formatted data that is given earlier. You may add attribution by adding a `_author` key with the value of your Reddit username or your GitHub username plus a `gh:` prefix.
+
+```json5
+{
+ "id": 0,
+ // ...
+ "_author": "Hans5958_",
+ // or...
+ "_author": "gh:Hans5958",
+}
+```
+
+Once you have successfully created the patch, the file can be committed, and a pull request towards the `cleanup` branch can be created. A member will merge the pull request if it is adequate.
