Turns out, editing Wikipedia is rather difficult. At least, it is in this particular case. The prospect of modifying the page, adding my own voice, helping out the community, all of this is appealing. On the other hand, there’s a lot of research to be done. And, to be honest, the history of Lafayette, while interesting, isn’t quite interesting enough for me to want to spend a lot of time digging.
I spend a lot of time learning every day. In my case, that learning typically has a very technical leaning. I’m a technophile and the prospect of digging into some new technology is something I find both interesting and exciting. I’ve been known to spend hours poking and prodding at something new, much to the chagrin of my family.
In the end, though, this is an assignment and I’m eager to obtain a good grade on it. Part of the project is to validate links, clean up the wiki markup, and generally ensure that the article meets the structural standards for a Good Article award. I’m going to concentrate my efforts in this area. After all, this is a group project and we all have our strengths and weaknesses.
