Web 2.0 Wikipedia Assignment







































I went on wikipedia and I added my dog to the notable residents of my home town. All I did was click on edit, and it let me change it. At first I wanted to change the date of when the constitution was signed. But, the page was locked. Evidently, important historical dates are unchangeable. I did not, however, create an entire page for my dog, because it would not let me create an entire joke page. I guess wikipedia has a limit to how much you can mock it. I'm not sure why when I added my dog's name to the end of the notable residents list, why it did not add a bullet point.

After a day, my dog's name was removed. I tried reposting it, and this time i figured out how to make it bulleted. Every section on my hometown's page was editable. I guess wikipedia doesn't know much about Keene, NH and keeps the page open for suggestions. However, once I readded my beagle they were more prompt about editing it. Instead of lasting a day it only lasted a few minutes.
