I think for new people, it's really key to realize that you're basically signing up to be a human encyclopedia on who or what you chose to edit. Which is a fantastic thing! <br /><br />I remember Susan was very clear... that she really wanted me to find a topic for myself, rather than just handing me a list of pages that needed help. The idea of picking someone was difficult at first, but then I looked at my bookshelf for inspiration. I immediately googled Mary Roach and was so SAD to see that no one had taken the time to write about such a well-known and respected author, such as herself. <br /><br />I confessed to Susan at the start, that the coding and general layout of Wikipedia scared me, since I'd never gone "behind the scenes" before. But luckily, Susan is incredibly patient and loves getting long rambling emails! The intimidation factor faded pretty quickly, thanks to Susan and the other group members who guided me along the way (Dustin Phillips in particular!). <br /><br />I highly recommend joining this project. I spent many long nights sifting through all things Mary Roach, but it was fun and it's an amazing reward to see your page finally go live!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061799050413445026.post-26366959159133527712012-07-30T23:30:55.223-07:002012-07-30T23:30:55.223-07:00For people who like numbers and results.

It might take 24 hours for the hits to show up, so I'm predicting a surge on July 31st and Aug 1st. <br /><br />http://stats.grok.se/en/201207/Mary%20Roachsgerbichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354138750695010886noreply@blogger.com
