    Wikipedia Entry  — 3 months ago

    Worth doing!

    It was harder than I thought but my entry was finally accepted. Oddly enough it was too short to improve my writing and too obscure for me to receive much recognition. I did gain a little social credit from the folks at work though.

    Anne Carson  — 6 months ago

    I created the first entry about my favorite author, Anne Carson. Since then many people have edited it, but my favorite quotes remain, and many of the things I said about her are still there in some form. This was back in 2002 when Wikipedia was an infant, so there were a lot of topics no one had written about yet.

    I also started the entry for Parallax (as a philosophical concept).

    And I wrote a lot of the first Portland, Oregon entry (now it’s all been edited away).

    I also wrote stubs for some of my other favorite authors and subjects. Back then Wikipedia was so empty. Now it’s hard to find any topic that needs my help. But the Anne Carson entry is still my creation!

    Nothing much, but it was missing, and should have been there!

    No big deal.  — 2 years ago

    Not worth it!

    It was kind of fun, but really didn’t have any impact on my life or self-esteem or anything. It’s cool to do, but I wouldn’t bother making a goal of it.

    i edited an entry for the first time today.  — 2 years ago

    even though it was just a tiny edit, it’s a start.
