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.
