Want to be part of the largest group-writing project in human
history? Learn how to contribute to Wikipedia, the user-generated
online reference for the 21st century. Considered more popular than
eBay, Microsoft.com, and Amazon.com, Wikipedia generates
approximately 30,000 requests per second, or about 2.5 billion per
day. It's become the first point of reference for people the world
over who need a fact fast. If you want to jump on board and add to
the content, Wikipedia: The Missing Manual is your first-class
ticket. Wikipedia has more than 6 million entries in 250 languages,
over 2 million articles in the English language alone. Each one is
written and edited by an ever-changing cast of volunteer editors.
You can be one of them. With the tips in this book, you'll quickly
learn how to get more out of -- and put more into -- this valuable
online resource. Wikipedia: The Missing Manual gives you practical
advice on creating articles and collaborating with fellow editors,
improving existing articles, and working with the Wikipedia
community to review new articles, mediate disputes, and maintain
the site. Up to the challenge? This one-of-a-kind book includes:
Basic editing techniques, including the right and wrong ways to
edit Pinpoint advice about which types of articles do and do not
belong on Wikipedia Tips on using Wikipedia page histories and
reversing inaccurate edits Ways to learn from other editors and
communicate with them via the site's talk pages Tricks for using
templates and timesaving automated editing tools Tools for fighting
spam and vandalism Guidance on adding citations, links, and images
to your articles You also learn about other Wikimedia services,
such as Wikinews, Wikiquote, and Wikibooks. Wikipedia depends on
people just like you to help the site grow and maintain the highest
quality. With Wikipedia: The Missing Manual, you get all the tools
you need to be part of the crew.
