 - You can start creating a new snippet, by using the [snippet template](snippet_template.md) to format your snippets.
 - Updating the README.md file should only be done by altering the scripts in the **scripts** folder or altering their relative static parts in the **static-parts** folder.
 - You may tag your snippet in tag_databse although it is _not_ necessary.
-- You may add your name as `[Name][@github_username]` to the contributor database. If the snippet already exists and you are making changes to it you can add your name at the laste seperated by a comma.

 Function which accepts a dictionary of key value pairs and returns a new flat list of only the keys.
 
-Uses the .items() function with a for loop on the dictionary to track both the key and value and returns a new list by appending the keys to it. Best used on 1 level-deep key:value pair dictionaries (a flat dictionary) and not nested data-structures which are also commonly used with dictionaries. (a flat dictionary resembles a json and a flat list an array for javascript people).
+Uses the .keys() method of "dict" objects. dict.keys() returns a view object that displays a list of all the keys. Then, list(dict.keys()) returns a list that stores all the keys of a dict.
 
 ``` python
 def keys_only(flat_dict):

-    for k, v in flat_dict.items():
