The Purpose of These Reflections
We are supposed to reflect upon our Wikipedia assignments and process weekly. This could be about the proces of writing and research on our chosen topic or about relevant discussion questions.

Reflections - 17th of February

 * (Insert reflections that were written on paper from the 17th of February)
 * (Insert reflections about this article from the University Journal of University of Copenhagen)

Reflections - 26th of February
As for now, I find the interface of the Wikipedia user side a bit difficult to navigate in. For instance, I am missing some kind of overview page of every document I have written in. As far as I understand (and remember), I both have a Sandbox, a Sandbox draft, and a User page - not to mention the article I will soon begin to contribute to.

Wait - after browsing a bit on the page I found out that the 'Watchlist' link in the upper right corner is exactly what I was missing. The interface apparent is very intuitive if you just take on a playfull and open approach.

Furthermore, I wrote my page about possible options to write about. I was a nice experience to browse the internet, the Wikipedia articles (if any), and check the Talk pages so examine the status and prior work. I am impressed by the amount of work people have done on the Wikipedia articles which is very evident from the talk pages. The discussions seem professional and carefully thought about.

Reflections - 7th of March

 * About choosing a topic from the pages I created last week.
 * Female, creating a new side, bibliographical and not about a book or a topic/concept.
 * About the user experience itself, how I find it a bit difficult to distinguish the different types of pages yet.
 * About the questions posed in the discussion exercise "Thinking about Wikipedia".

Reflections - 25th of March

 * Writing in the correct Wikipedia style as a non-native.
 * Challenges in finding out enough relevant information about my topic. Maybe it is because I write a biographic article about a contemporary academic scholar and I find the public available information a bit limited.
 * How much I learn from reviewing the other articles of my classmates.
 * How I learn about how to write an article correctly by looking at already existing Wikipedia articles.
 * I am a bit in doubt about if I moved my draft away from the sandbox and into the public space too quick, including if there is enough to review for my classmates.

Reflections - 28th of March

 * I am so excited since I've got the first interaction with another Wikipedia user (not from my class). The person has categorized my article and I am so exited to see it become a part of the network of knowledge I like to think Wiki is.
 * It is great and gives a community-like feeling that I can actually push a button and thank the reviewer. And when I check his/her/their profile I discover this very interesting person. The person has so many 'certificates' in Wiki editing which is very cool - and apparently he/she/they work a lot with biographies. I don't know if I can link to the profile in my sandbox, but I really want to be able to go back and look again so here's the link.
 * I find it very cool that someone so experienced in the wiki-world has not deleted anything. I guess I made it correctly what I did for now (even though I still want to add a lot more to the article).
 * I am also reviewing some of my class mates' articles now. I still find the interface and the different categories of pages quite difficult to distinguish. It helps a lot when I just browse around.
 * Oh now the user I mentioned above just helped improving my article by linking to the article in two other articles that mentions Isabelle Ferreras! This is so cool and now I really understand new benefits about wiki and the shared knowledge production. Actually this might be a great theme to touch upon in my final reflection paper about my wikipedia experience - how knowledge is democratized, shared and developed symbiotically in this online platform that is only made possible due to modern technology.
