Wikipedia seems to be everywhere now. Have any ATOT members worked on an article or contributed to the site *not including donations*? Any active contributers? Please link your work if you can.

I corrected one entry about some football player that said he went to brigham young college rather than university. (My homepage is WikiRandom)

I created an account about a month and a half ago and I've already made well over 500 edits. Most of them are minor grammar, linking, and spelling edits and not really worth linking.

I've never edited or added my own article. I feel kinda bad about it - maybe I'll go have an edit!

I wonder how much information would be available if it had some sort of minor quota system where everyone had to add 1 edit or article a month... not that it's a good idea.. but just imagine if all the users were contributing!

The site would quickly go to shat.

Could you imagine bucktoothed backwoods Bubba contributing to an article on quantum mechanics?

Yes, maybe he took a course on it?

It's not like the Yankees have a monopoly on being educated. Oh wait, sorry, since its unacceptable to say negative stuff about them, I'd rather not say.

Cheerios.

HuH? What does this have to do with Yankees? I'm talking about people editing articles on subjects that they know little about.

Well, I don't like to brag, but I did correct some poor grammar in an article once.

I used to contribute a lot more than I do now but I still make corrections here and there.
