Wonderful Wiki

I know Wikipedia sometimes gets a bad rap for having unconfirmed information but it can be useful to a least get a lead to investigate particularly obscure topics. I like the idea of pooling people's collective knowledge and the fact that it can be refined (rarely do we, as people, get everything right the first 'go round). I've used Wikipedia before but have never actually edited anything. It was surprisingly easy and I didn't realize before that you didn't have to sign up for an account in order to add your two cents - this was great because I don't use any of my online accounts very often and have trouble remembering what passwords, names, etc I signed up with. I played around with some of the features at the top of the editing page ( like line break, etc.) just to see what they did because online text formatting seemed to behave differently from Microsoft Word. I also noticed the discussion tab where "editors" could write about or explain the changes they were making.
