As I approach retirement I am trying to explore new activities, and recently have registered as a Wikipedia editor. My idea is to start small and revise a few articles about things and people I know. I get the impression that the median type for an editor is “millenial techno-wonk”, conversely I am your classical liberal arts type. Anybody been through the ropes on this one? In particular, I have difficulty with basic things like uploading pictures.
I don’t know how to do footnotes on Wikipedia. The only thing that I know how to do is to correct the text. From time to time, I do correct the text of articles that I know are inaccurate. I think this is a worthwhile endeavor. It extends the division of intellectual labor.
I have never seen a website devoted to making Wikipedia corrections.
