Editing Wikipedia

I've spent quite a bit of time over the past two days editing the Wikipedia. For those of you that don't know, it's a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Neat concept, yes? Here's the Wikipedia page on the the Wikipedia. You can see all the work I have been doing by looking at my contributions page. You may note that my improvements have gotten better over time. I was initially pretty overwhelmed with what I was doing and what the unofficial rules of the community were. I think I have it down now though.

In my view of the future, the Wikipedia is going to be a cornerstone of the future of the Internet. It's going to continue to grow by leaps and bounds, even though it's open to vandalism with the push of an edit button. I figured I would do my part to make the Wikipedia a little bit more complete, you should do yours too.

Feel free to fix any errors I may have made while editing the Wikipedia.

    Wikipedia is AMAZING! I agree that the future of the web is tied to it in some way. I've tried my hand at editing, but most of the articles I know anything about are quite complete to begin with, but I still try.
