Boy I'm glad we did this exercise. Before today I thought Wikipedia had something to do with witches on the internet. Ha ha! But seriously, this was a lot of fun.
Like a few others, I took a look at the Wikipedia entry for the Calgary Public Library. I couldn't see any glaring mistakes to correct, but I thought it was a little skimpy on the history of the CPL. I thought at least a mention of our first "C.E.O.", Alexander Calhoun was in order, so I added a couple of sentences about his appointment. I'm not sure I cited my source correctly- it came from an article in a book. Do I cite the article first or the book first?
Really fun! If knowledge is power, then being able to contribute to this large database of knowledge puts the power in everyone's hands.
Let's use it for good, not evil.

I might become a Wiki-addict! I have now made another addition to the CPL entry, stating that future Prime Minister R.B.Bennett was one of the original members of the Calgary Public Library Board. This is a little known fact that I love being able to share! I made a similar addition to the wiki-entry for R.B.Bennett.
