Wiktionary Work

I found the editing assignment in wiktionary to be interesting and tedious. Finding three terms from our class list of web terms was not easy.

My first entry was reverted back to its original because I added too much information; the result was more like an encyclopedic entry than one to be found in a dictionary. However, as I perused the wiktionary entries, I noted one entry that matched our list that was volumes longer than my first edit.
When one edits a wiki entry, one has the option to "watch this page" which makes it easy to know what happens after one's edit. I think that's pretty cool. I'm waiting for my revision of "tag" to be reverted back to the original as we speak! The 140 character limit on Twitter clarifies the reference to microblog, in my opinion, but that may not be the feelings of the Wiktionary readers/editors. In any event, I find the process interesting and like the checks and balances in place.
