I don't edit Wikipedia because I've never taken the time to learn the
system
and I'm afraid I'll screw up. I assume it would feel like making a big
mistake in a newspaper and having the whole neighborhood scoff, and I
think
that becomes a part of my Wikipedia profile forever and ever. I'd like to
find a YouTube video to walk me through basic involvement. If it's that
cute
guy from Portland who is now a Wikipedia community manager presenting it,
well all the better. I could also be encouraged to edit if the community
had
an offline component that included meeting for microbrews.
Thanks,
Carissa
One of the original meanings of Wikipedia:Ignore all rules addressed
that. It's current formulation is laconic and opaque to anyone but an
insider. The original formulation was "If rules make you nervous and
depressed, and not desirous of participating in the Wiki, then ignore
them and go about your business."
I remember getting off to a pretty rough start.
As to beer, I think you need to live in London for that.
