The one I wrote up today is about having a Wikipedia account. I don't do a lot of Wikipedia editing (although I expect I will do more in the future as I shift more from working on course design to actual content development), but I do stay logged in to my account. I really like the Minerva view which suppresses the sidebar navigation.
Here's Brer Rabbit for example. And yes, the blue watchlist star is on because I added a list of Harris's books to the article. The article is still a mess to be honest, but I figured that I could help by adding that book list; I also added in a reference to Baer as a counterpoint to the Cherokee section which gave a pretty misleading impression otherwise.
Maybe next summer I will tackle the other parts of this article that are in serious need of help. That's how Wikipedia improves after all: people sharing their knowledge. And having the article be on my watchlist is a reminder to go back and work on it some more later!
