There is no assigned reading for Thursday, instead you need to either substantially edit an existing Wikipedia page, or write a new one. Following this assignment, you need to post to your blog. In the post link to the article you wrote, or edited and talk about the decisions you made, and what led you to make those decisions. And for the brave, play six degrees of wikipedia and try to connect the most disparate articles in meaningful ways.
- Two useful links:
- WikiTrust Coloring Demo
- WikiScanner: learn who edits wikipedia.
And if you need to find a wikipedia article to edit you can always try wikirage which lists the articles in wikipedia currently undergoing rapid revisions.

Just to state the obvious, but if you find a link in a wiki that is a different color, say red, then it very likely leads to a missing page (that is, one that is waiting for someone to come along and write something).
