Wikipedia is a free, comprehensive online encyclopedia currently with several million articles written in simple English which anyone can edit. The core mechanic for Wikipedia is both the thrill of editing a grand project collaboratively, and the more basic reward of having the power to be the expert in a subject that is near and dear.

To edit an article simply click on “edit this page” tab at the top of a Wikipedia page. You should write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit-box. Once you have finished, press the “Show Preview” button to see how your changes will look. If you're satisfied with what you see, press the Save Page button. Your changes will immediately be visible to other Wikipedia users.
