Hi,
Elaine Wang is a senior at Lamar High School in Arlington, Texas. She
recently wrote an article for the "Sun Herald" about her experiences
with vandalism in Wikipedia.
This is her edit history:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=…
http://www.sunherald.com/mld/sunherald/living/14257422.htm
After 4 days, she removed her vandalism that was uncorrected until
then. The article reads "Not corrected within a week" or something
like that.
Hoever, it is strange to see that nobody who corrected a single error
from her seemed to have checked her other articles. -- ~~~~
She ends the article with:
"My advice for anyone using it? Check the facts with other Web sites,
and always double-check the Wikipedia article itself for updates over
time. You never know when a goofball like me might be posting."
Sound advice!
