Review the Wikipedia Editor Project description.
Read Wikipedia: An opportunity to rethink the links between sources' credibility, trust, and authority
• Wikipedia
• Wikipedia:Five pillars
I. Jimmy Wales, the cofounder of Wikipedia, said his goal is to give "every single person on the planet...free access to the sum of all human knowledge."
II. Does Wikipedia cover topics you find interesting? Select 5 articles you want to explore in depth. Are you a qualified editor for those articles?
Review the change record. Study the change record at the bottom of each of your topics. Is this article up to date? Does it seem to be controversial-are edits being accepted and then rescinded later? Due to Wikipedia's increasing popularity, some editions, including the English version, have introduced editing restrictions for certain cases. Some articles require you to establish a track record before you can edit high-traffic articles; some are even more protected.
Submit a list of the five articles you intend to edit. Do you meet the Wikipedia standards to edit this article? Will your changes conform to the Five Pillars
Will your changes be verifiable? What is the likelihood your changes will be accepted?
