Wikipedia

I'm beginning my dabble into Wikipedia a bit late. I just created my account, and I'm going to edit the entry on something completely connected to my life and the class: Trinity!

I'm not quite sure how to work around Wikipedia. It is all very overwhelming to me.

The first things I notice about the page for Trinity is its lack of well roundedness. It delves into details on some aspects of the college but sorely lacks in others. The list of famous/powerful/noteworthy alums is extensive, but there is barely nothing about the academic aspects of the school.

There are also two cautionary notices at the top that Wikipedia has alerted its readers to:

1. This article needs additional citations for verification.

2. This article is written like an advertisement. Please help rewrite this article from a neutral point of view. (I guess this is my task!)

I'll blog again once I change the page.

Edit: I'm now listening to the four minute roundup on Wikipedia. Very informative, helpful.

I like:

Transition from 'anything goes' to 'more structured.' Very true. As wiki grows and becomes more legitimate (aka closer to an encyclopedia), it needs this type of change.
