Reflections on Wiki
I thoroughly enjoyed wiki specially turning the wiki into a work of art. I would have to say it is the most fun part about EIR, learning from others, and sharing with others. Most definitely, some people would be peeved when they see their work edited, or broken apart to be clustered together with others to form a unified body of knowledge. I would rather not step on anyone`s toes however when the information is repetitive or misleading, the wiki would not be functional. It would be the lesser of two evils to do edits. Though it is sometimes uncomfortable to edit other`s works, it not right to just leave the information in a state of mess for public viewing.
The wiki is not an information dump, I hope that people would have a bit more respect the wikis in the future and not directly paste paragraphs from websites without first paraphrasing in a simpler language. While doing wiki, I learnt many things I would not have if I were just searching on the internet alone. That is possibly because different people have different viewpoints and will contribute to the different aspects of the topic. There are many ideas from other people as to where to start the search from as well
.
I would think a really good wiki would be one that is clear and easy to understand, and covers much about it without the need for long wordy language.
