Hello all,
I have some exciting news! I have written a short article on Wikipedia that is to be published in "The Canadian Writer's Guide 13th Edition", a reference for Canadian writers. The publisher's page is at http://www.canauthors.org/pubs.html, which describes the 12th edition. The book should be in print by the end of September 2002.
The full text of the article is also available on my web site at http://jeays.net/files/wikipedia.htm. My angle was to introduce Wikipedia as a way of practicing one's writing skills while, as a happy side-effect, creating encyclopedia articles. I tried to capture the flavour of Wikipedia (including the NPOV, don't worry...) in 1100 words (not easy!).
Interesting article, but I would have my concerns about calling it "stress-free" writing.
If it works the project could be overrun by Canadians. Fantastic!
