Since 1989, the War Memorials Archive has been trying to keep an up-to-date database for everybody to read, showing the location of every war
memorial in the UK as well of details of the dead commemorated there. But their records are incomplete, and sadly many memorials (especially rural ones) are degrading: someday the
information on them may be lost.
You can help, and it’s really easy. First, find your nearest local war memorial at http://www.ukniwm.org.uk/server/show/nav.23 – just search in your town or village and you’ll find one. See if it appears and if the
information is complete: some records barely show that the memorial is there, others have full lists of names, but many are in-between, merely listing which wars are represented.
Then head out to the memorial and take photos of all sides of it, close enough that you can read all of the text. In the top right corner of the page about your town’s memorial,
there’s a link to provide updated information: just type in the new details that you found and send it off. Or, if your memorial wasn’t in the database at all, send them an email.
This Remembrance Sunday you can do more for the memory of those killed in war by helping future generations remember and research, too. Thanks for your help.
I had a public “megalounges” multireddit that I made available to anybody in the megalounges who wanted a starting point to make a convenient multireddit list. But if I’d have put
this subreddit into that list, then it could give away the identity of this “final” subreddit, so I’ve made the multireddit private.
If you use a “megalounges” multireddit and you’re putting this lounge into it, don’t forget to make that multireddit private too!

That it’s “super legit and awesome” or “the best subreddit ever”.
The stuff that appears on the “you’re not allowed in; here’s how to request access” page, which is publicly-visible anyway.
/u/NOT_MEEHAN disagreed with me, and suggested that specifically the first of those interpretations wasn’t true: i.e. that Rule 2 forbids even mentioning
that /r/The_Haven exists. As a precaution, I immediately edited my comments to minimise disruption, but because I think that /u/NOT_MEEHAN‘s interpretation might be wrong, I thought I’d come here and ask you guys, the community (and moderators) for a ruling.
tl;dr: Does Rule 2 prohibit mentioning elsewhere on Reddit that /r/The_Haven even exists?
