Wikipedia has become one of those things, like Google, that is there and isn’t thought about a lot. It’s where you find things out. I’ve always wanted to contribute, but have been a bit intimidated by it. I’m reading, Wikipedia: The Missing Manual by John Broughton now and I’m amazed at how things have evolved around the resource and the community. It’s a solid reference with many systems and traditions that ensure that it is relevant and accurate. I was skeptical about getting a book to read about Wikipedia until I read Nat Torkington’s post Thinking in Wikis which convinced me to buy the book and to start contributing.
