My first edit was fun and interesting. I've used Wikipedia several times to search for my curiosity or assignments, it was my first time actually editing, even with an official account. Especially when I started adding information which I only know, because it was so local, I found the joy of sharing, like I was taking to my friends about my hometown which I only know and they've never been to.
In spite of, I would rather want to write about what I felt after I had a chance to look into what and how my colleagues edited since I already presented my first edits during the class. When I started my editing last week, I think I limited my self into a small box which enables me to check minor mistakes. However I was really impressed how we can contribute to Wikipedia by sharing information.
One of my classmates added a photo to make an article visualized, and another student put the Korean pronunciation next to an English word. What I learned about Wiki, I am sure if it's correct though, it shows whatever you put and it's itself what you make, if that makes sense. Wiki doesn't have a certain set you need to follow in terms of editing information, and I cautiously guess that might be the fact people are attracted by.
I am glad you had fun with the first edits! Keep up the good job!
ReplyDeleteWhen I took Wikipedia class at first, I was same as you. I had many mistakes in Wikipedia but I was so interested about adding photo, link when professor showed to us.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Sometimes i add some specific information which was on the journals or professional article that can be found in google and write down on the article by using ~~. We can search lots of words which is related with article! I hope that it will help your wiki edit! :)
