This is a very open-ended category that allows you to express your feelings, attitude, ambivalence about Wikipedia as well as any more empirical criticisms or praise. For example, you might want to write about what you have used Wikipedia for in the past. (EXAMPLE: "I go to Wikipedia to look up information about my favorite TV shows and celebrities.") If you have heard criticisms of Wikipedia from your high school teachers or college professors, how do you respond to those criticisms? Do you agree (with most college profs) that Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information to cite in a traditional college term paper? Why or why not? |

It would help out if wikipedia had tougher regulations as to how someone can change an article. Facts are facts and I would like them to be accurate. The playing field shouldn'nt be so leveled because we as a people aren't on the same level. |

This is a good section, also, to make an honest evaluation of Wikipedia if you feel like it. Do you think the lack of (paid) professionals negatively affects the quality of writing and editing found on the site. Do you believe that people should have a minimum set of qualifications to write about, say, science, music, or history, and do you find that a lot of pages on Wikipedia on those subjects are written by hobbyists or people with few, if any, objective credentials in those areas? |
|||
Or do you love the fact that Wikipedia is open and democratic? Do you embrace the level playing field it offers? |

Simply Put.....Reginald
I am a college freshman at Georgia Southern University. Go Big Blue!. Georgia Southern is a large school but very close knit. In high school I was a 4 year varsity basketball player and scored a 27 on my ACT. Working out and playing video games are what I do best. When I lived in Florida nothing was better than a day at the beach. Im a Business/Finance major but might be changing to logistics seeing how the world is going completely digital in everything.
This section is also a good place to mention your serious interests, a major for instance or a hobby or a part-time job or the fact that you go fishing every weekend with your uncle Bob. This is also a good place for what is commonly known in on-line communities as "random facts about me." Keep in mind that random facts help you emerge as a real person with a writer's voice and one with whom your audience can identify.
Works I've Done on Wikipedia
So far i have written an article on college basketball player Alec Burks. I plan to continue working on this article as his career moves along. Doing this article was pretty fun so I plan on writing more articles in the near future.
Me and Tech
I was born in the digital age. E-mail e-mail e-mail is the best means of communication that I use. I am also a heavy texter lol. I'm a part of a couple of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Wiki Social?...never knew
I had no idea how extensive wikipedia could be. I always just used it to get some quick facts on a topic or to prove my friends wrong in an argument. Wikipedia is one of my most heavily used sites and the easiest to use.
It would help out if wikipedia had tougher regulations as to how someone can change an article. Facts are facts and I would like them to be accurate. The playing field shouldn'nt be so leveled because we as a people aren't on the same level.
English with a bit of Creole?
I amd a native speaker, writer and reader of American English. I can hold a fluent conversation in creole because of my Haitian roots from my father. Sadly I can only read and speak creole.
Whatever you like section
This is a section where you can do anything you like as long as it serves the purpose of conveying something about who you are. You can tell a story from your life. You can give a list of "random facts" about yourself. You can rant about the season your favorite team is having. You can post links to your favorite youtubes and say why you like them. Have fun!
