My Wikipedia Work
My Wikipedia user profile.
My first Wikipedia update was made September, 2004, to the place holder entry about the town of Tillsonburg article. I had read about Wikipedia in Wired Magazine, and as a demo of a Web 2.0 website, while teaching I added information about Tillsonburg. It was the early days of websites giving users the ability to add content. YouTube allowed the posting of videos and Wikipedia encouraged the adding of knowledge.
In the article M.C. Escher's Stars, I added an image and reference descriptions of the shapes of M.C. Escher's Study of Stars.

For the Exclusion Bill Parliament article, I posted a photo of the title page from my first edition book which includes the debate recorded in parliament.
When we went as a family to Thailand for a bus tour, we went to the Thanyaburi district to go to the Dream World amusement park. I added Dream World to the Thanyaburi district article.
Wikipedia To Do
I added the Netscape Browser Icons image into Wikipedia,
but someone removed it because of copyright.
However, I had followed the "how to post copyright" material article.
When time permits, I need to cycle back on this.
Netscape Browser Icons added into:
Netscape web browser Release history.
The following series is the history of the program icons. The Mozilla 6 and 9 programs were installed from a Netscape internal site managed by Jamie Zawinski. The Netscape 1-6 are the main browser icons. The Mozilla Firefox icon on the right, represent the successful successor to the Netscape browser.
Side note:
Jim Clark did a book signing at Stacy's Palo Alto bookstore, summer 1999.
Showing support was the original founding development team(I don't remember exactly, it was 27 years ago):
Jamie Zawinski known for having the shortest and longest hair at the same time,
Lou Montulli
who created the
Lynx text browser
and originator the
Netscape Fishcam,
Eric Bina,
Jon Mittelhauser,
Aleks Totic, Chris Houck,
and Robert McCool
who also authored the original
Apache HTTP Server
code, and Mike McCool.
Reference for the names: Netscape Time, chapter 9: The Vulcan Mind Meld, by Jim Clark, signed copy.

What makes an article a good article?
Content assessment
is the process volunteer editors use to rate articles on a scale from "Stub" (a very short start) to "Featured Article" (the highest standard).
Assessors look at accuracy, sourcing, structure, and readability, and their ratings help identify where improvement is needed.
The letter grades (Stub, Start, C, B, A, Good Article, Featured Article) describe how close a page is to being comprehensive and well‑written.
Stub: A very basic description of the topic. Meets none of the Start-Class criteria.
Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition.
Readers probably see insufficiently developed features of the topic and may not see how the features of the topic are significant.
Start: An article that is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources.
Provides some meaningful content, but most readers will need more.
Providing references to reliable sources should come first.
Needs substantial improvement in content and organisation.
