Wikipedia - Thing 14

Wikipedia is a real boon.  The caveat, of course, is needing to stay aware of possible flaws and downright errors.  But there is some reassurance in the democracy of public editing giving an element of control. A couple of years ago I did some editing on Wikipedia. It was an entry about a museum I am involved with - and part of the factual information was wrong.  Strange to think of someone (who was it?) having written an article that was incorrect, but it was so empowering to have the opportunity to amend it, which was quite straightforward to do.    e-democracy is wonderful.
