Wikipedia Stub Article

I just finished writing a Wikipedia stub article on Sucrose Intolerance. Wikipedia is a great computer source that allows you to obtain information based on numerous subjects and fields of your interests. It is a great way to access information on anything you need or want to know about. Whenever I google a certain word or subject that I would like to learn more about, Wikipedia is usually one of the top sites that show up. Wikipedia is available for anyone who can access the internet. It is also available for anyone who would like to write or edit an article that they may be familiar with or specialize in. Since there are so many individuals with different interests and knowledge, Wikipedia has become a wide based search with over 3, 791, 000 articles. This is AMAZING!

I wrote and edited an article on Sucrose Intolerance which I found to be very interesting. At first I was a little confused about how the Wikicode was supposed to work, but really there are some simple pages that inform you of how to use italics, bold words, bullet points, font size, and much more. I think a few of my classmates found it tricky at first but managed to figure things out, just as my classmate Alyssa states in her blogpost. I found most of my information from other sites on the internet as well as one of my nutrition books that I had bought last year for school. These sites and books really helped me to make a good article so that other individuals can learn from what I wrote. When writing this article, I searched other topics in order to get a good feel for how I should write my article and what the layout is like. This gave me the opportunity to read other people's work, which is brilliant and showed me how informative others can be.
