Week 15--Wikis

I had done a little bit with wikis for a college class, but there's still a lot for me to learn. For this lesson, I created an account on Wikipedia--and promptly forgot my password. And, of course, I hadn't included an email account so I couldn't retrieve it or set a new one. So I had to create a new account.

On Wikipedia I edited the page about the Marais des Cygnes River. I added a link to the La Cygne, KS website that has pictures of the Flood of 2007. I thought this was appropriate since the page talks about Floods.

Then I went to the 23 Things Kansas wiki and added my page there. In spite of the specific instruction to SAVE your page, I managed to exit out without saving it the first time, so had to redo it also. That's what I get for waiting until the last minute and trying to hurry.
