Wiki Wiki What!

I have spent the last week editing my wikipedia article on the Maloof Money Cup and I got to say I actually enjoyed it very much. I feel it was mainly because I had a passion about the topic and I also knew a lot about the stub already. I didn't find editing my wikipedia article to be very hard either. First off it was fairly easy for me to pick a stub because usually there is only one thing I think about all the time and that is skateboarding and there were many choices to pick from in that category and I would be happy writing about anyone of them. Also finding reliable resources wasn't very difficult either because there was already a website created for the Maloof Money Cup which basically had all the information about the event on it. If the site didn't have the information i was looking for usually other reliable websites like Transworld skateboarding would. I feel i made the wiki stub pretty accurate and reliable to others as well. Some people in my class had some problems choosing an article and finding reliable resources as seen in my fellow classmate Julie's blog. You should check out her wikipedia article on rainscald she did a great job despite having running into problems while creating it. I think I could see how choosing and finding resources would be hard because I did choose a fairly easy topic to write about.

One problem I did encounter was dealing with the wikipedia codes. It seems like a lot of my classmates as well had the same problem. I found that their codes were very confusing and it was hard to find the right codes for what you wanted to do. I mostly went through a lot of trial and error when editing the stub. In the end though I figured it out and it was a good learning experience overall. 

My final thoughts about my experience of editing a stub on wikipedia was great overall but I still think that wikipedia could find a better way for us to edit stubs. I feel wikipedia can be a good source for citing as long as you check the resources at the bottom of each article to see how reliable it is. I believe my article can be used as a good source for citing as well.
