Wikipedia WAS a crutch

Wikipedia, has always been a source for me to get answers from. I never thought about actually reaching a subject and putting my knowledge into an article. So I have decided to do my own set of researching and actually click edit and save. After seeing how people from all over the world come in and talk about their articles, I realized that I can make an impact on the world too. I can go from just using wiki as a crutch to participating in the conversion. Instead of using wiki as training wheels, I can use it to impact people. How cool would it look to write an article forget about it and then come back to it and see how many people read and researched and contributed to the conversation that you started.
