Part two of our look at the online encyclopaedia anyone can edit shows how to create brand-new articles
Wikipedia is an extraordinary attempt to build an electronic repository for the world’s knowledge - an online encyclopaedia with well over a million articles in English that anyone can edit.
In issue 225 we showed how to make straightforward factual changes to articles, add original photos and make other simple adjustments.
In Computeractive issue 228 we go further and demonstrate how anyone can create brand-new Wikipedia articles that visitors from all over the world can read and add to. We explain how to structure an article, how to ‘borrow’ formatting from other entries to make creation and editing easier and how to collaborate with others to improve the quality of your articles. Everything’s done using Internet Explorer and it’s both rewarding and fun.
So, refer to the magazine and then click to transfer to the Wikipedia home page.
