Heritage Studies and ICT 2020-2021 (Prof. Pensa's Assignment)
My name is Ester Poma (Student Number: 1045517). During the editing/adding information process on Wikipedia I have contributed to the following articles regarding Seriate, the botanical garden of Bergamo and Siguatepeque. I decided to focus mostly on my hometown, Seriate, since I know the place very well and I have some books about it. I chose to improve the page of the botanical garden of Bergamo because it's one of my favourite places in the nearby of where I live. I also chose to add information on the Wikipedia page of Siguatepeque, a town in Central America, since I lived there for a while.

Fallouts of the assignment & Personal considerations:
I have never added any information on Wikipedia before this assignment and it was interesting to discover something new. The work was quite challenging since at first I didn't understand how to add my contributions. But now I'm satified with the results that I got. At first I would have liked to edit mostly the article of Siguapeteque but unfortuntely it was quite hard to find sources about this city. Even so, I told my friends who live there how useful could be for them to have a good Wikipedia article about their own city. And for this reason I decided to concetrate on my own city and try to improve it.

To the present day nobody has contacted me for the articles and I’m still waiting for a feedback from the community. Thank you for making me discover how Wikipedia works and I hope my contributions could be useful for someone in the future!
