contribute to wikipedia

Ok. So I took a tour in Wikipedia pages in my native language, and I found, surprisingly, an article about the place were I work! It’s a kind of a landmarke in my city. It’s a very poor article though, needs serious work, both in Arabic and in it’s English version.
So I guess that would be a perfect start! And just in time for the Arabic Wikipedia day :)

But while I gather information for the article, I’ll have to spend sometime teaching myself how to use the editor in Wikipedia. It’s not very hard to use, but no easy either!
I’ll need some training.

Let’s start then!
:)

I would love to feel that I made some contribution in something as huge and global as Wikipedia.. this encyclopedia is literary the sum of all human knowledge. It would certainly make me feel good to know that I contributed in it. Even if this contribution is by proofing an article that already exists.

First step is defining what subjects I would like to work on.
I’ll surf wikipedia’s pages, and try to decide what subjects attract me the most.
