I Thought It’s Hard To Edit Wikipedia!

I Thought It’s Hard To Edit Wikipedia!

by Melvin · Nov 11, 2008

Update: About 5 minutes after this post wikipedia removed those two names and well its not surprising. However if you search for the terms “melvin azoogle” or “raymille azoogle” the edited wiki page still comes up on Google.

Wikipedia is probably one of the more resourceful internet online encyclopedia (free) nowadays. The thing is that everyone can edit wikipedia. But then, its hard to game wikipedia because oftentimes they will check teh edited content and then 90% of the time, they will just reject your edited part. That’s understandable because Wiki is probably the most established encyclopedia site we have on earth today. ๐Ÿ™‚

Anyway last week, we did some editing for some part of the wikipedia and we just did it for fun, to be honest. Obviously we’re putting up crap on some wiki pages. As I was browsing today, I was shocked to see that one page particularly about Azoogle that we edited I think was accepted. The Wikipedia about Azoogle today has my name into it as CFO and my friend Raymille Belleza as a hotdog Vendor. LOL…

I thought its hard to edit a wiki page!

Anyway, again I know this doesn’t really make any sense at all but then I think this must be something Wikipedia needs to work for! If each page could be edited w/o much effort, then probably wiki is not most reliable source then, or at least reliable source for people. Wht do you think?

    Well, that is life with Wikis… Regardless of the minor issues, wikipedia is still ‘the’ standard for to what heights and popularity public wikis can be taken to.

    Btw, anyone ever donated to Wikipedia?

    Cheers,

    Wikipedia can’t really be trusted as a good source of information (or accurate source…) but it can come in handy!

    You can get traffic if you place links on Wikipedia but you won’t get any pagerank value since all the links on Wikipedia were made “nofollow” long back.

    Many people like me visit Wikipedia for information we need. We follow the information with good faith. I find you doing this for “fun” is very cheap.

    *Will this comment be accepted?*

    I see they have received many donations across the world. Wiki is still the standard as you’ve said…

    But then most SEM believe that Google places a higher importance on sites in Wikipedia which I believe is true
