CPL 2.0

April 8th -Wikipedia

I easily found articles that one was able to edit.
I tried to edit a biographical article on Mary Pickford. I added one sentence that referred to her name change. Because I added this sentence directly after a reference mark it was saved at the bottom of the article- at the top of the list of references rather than in the article itself.
I will check tomorrow and see if it is still there although I doubt it will be, therefore I printed it for myself today!
Will try to edit something again when I have more time as it could be fun.

What did I learn by reading the Wikipedia information:
I am impressed by how current the information is and that they are continually updating even within seconds. Therefore, editing or making additions which contain misinformation , etc. are quickly removed. They have strict editing policies. It appears to be easy to edit and save, I did not know that this was possible before.
