Wikipedia Contributions

So I originally said that I was going to add something to the Alexander Ovechkin wikipedia page.  I went there to make a contribution, and the article is protected.  You have to get permission to edit the page.  I asked for permission, saying I wanted to add something to the article for this class.  I was given access, and added the last sentence of the 9th paragraph titled International Play.

But it didn't end there.  I thought that was so cool that I added to the article, so I went to the wikipedia article titled Washington Capitals.  I looked for something that I could add on to, and found that there wasn't much written about the 2009-2010 season.  I added multiple sentences, and if you go to the article, I added everything in the 2009-2010 section of the article except for the first and last sentence.

But I still wasn't done.  This became addicting.  I went to the article titled Penn State Football, and looked to see if I could add something.  I noticed that a big part of Penn State football wasn't on there, so I created an entire paragraph.  If you go to the Penn State Football article, I created the entire paragraph called Linebacker U.

I thought this assignment was so cool, and I will definitely do something like this in the future.  And those links above take you to the article that I worked on.
