So I’ve finally created a Wikipedia account and have already started to contribute, so far I’ve helped deleted quite a few nonsense articles that keep popping up. You’ll be surprise how fast Wikipedia changes, just look at the live change log.
I encourage everyone to create an account and start contributing, it really is a great project that shows what openness can achieve.
For those of you who do not know what Wikipedia is, it is a free on-line encyclopedia where by everyone is free to edit it. If you see an article that can use more heft, feel free to add it. At this point, people will always point out the susceptibility to vandalism and misinformation, just browse some random pages and determine for yourself the quality of wikipedia. You can even check out the most vandalized pages and look at their history to see the many reverts people perform to maintain quality. Introduce yourself to wikipedia now and you’ll wonder what you did without it.
