Moving on... This week was also when part three of the Wikipedia was due. Although I had picked 4-5 pages to edit in the first stage of the project, I later realized that despite the fact that these pages were marked as needing copy edits, when I read through them, they seemed to not be needing any. So I ended up editng only 3 of them. I added more information to one page that was on a film, one on the new Indian rupee symbol and one on a sports stadium in Asia. I actually received feedback from one editor asking me to make sure I completed the edit summary and also gave me few other tips. I have to admit , I found this project very engaging and rewarding when I found out that the new wikipedia pages for the ones I edited contains my contributions especially because I knew a couple other people who were complaining about their work being deleted , Overall I really enjoyed this wikipedia assignment and I think that I really did contribute to that community which was the purpose of this assignment in the first place.
