Wikipedia

How easy or difficult was it to find articles that needed editing? Were the errors you found factual or grammar/spelling?

I did not find any grammatical errors - perhaps the subjects I was searching! I did notice a few articles were a bit awkward (perhaps the nature of having several people contributing to them).

I chose to edit an article by adding more information to it. Mark Teague, a children's author and illustrator, had his first full-length children's novel published in October 2009 (our Parent Child Book Club just read it!). It was fun editing an article in an encyclopedia. It was a bit tricky navigating the Referencing section, but I managed to figure it out.
