Thing Ten

I edited the 23 Things on a Stick wiki. Well, all I really did was change all of the words "wiki" into bright red, but still. I've edited some Wikipedia entries before, like spelling and punctuation, but no real content I guess. I feel like I'd have to do some hard core research with a list of sources before I could do that, and that's what stops me. But, I think the beauty of Wikipedia is that there is a lot of stuff out there that people know, but don't necessarily know how or why they know it. And that's what makes Wikipedia a great starting point for research; it gives you enough information about something to help formulate meaningful questions. I think it is absurd to ban Wikipedia, but I don't think it's a good idea to use it as a primary source.
Wikis in general are cool for all the reasons that the last two exercises were cool: they allow collaboration through the internet. Strangely, despite all the enthusiasm for wikis, the one that is set up for the reference librarians at my library languishes. Is suspect no one feels they have time for it, as there is no specific focus to it. Maybe I'll have a crack at it...
