It Starts With a Typo...

I made my first contribution to Wikipedia today. It’s something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time and while in my mind I was thinking of things to write entries about, the easiest way to get involved is to fix something, which is what I did today. In reading about the fourth season of The Wire, I noticed that the name of the unit was wrong in one of the entries so I fixed it. I have to do that more and then work my way up to things larger than a word.



Wikipedia: The Missing Manual

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.
