Working with Wikipedia 101
Thursday February 19, 2009
Editing a Wikipedia article is not as simple as you may first think. When making changes to an article you may need to include sources of where you got your information, add links to other articles and be sure that your additions or changes are useful. This, of course, is to ensure that the information people are getting from Wikipedia is correct and balanced, and not just one person's opinion. Thankfully, there's an area on Wikipedia called the "sandbox" where you can practice writing and editing Wikipedia pages without worry of making a mistake that everyone will see.
