I found this experience of editing Wikipedia very interesting, and it was the first time I tried and succeeded in editing an entry that was not that complete. I realized that editing a Wikipedia article perfectly isn't as hard as it seems, but at the same time, as a beginner, it's not as easy as it seems. That's the first suggestion I'd like to make. I think Wikipedia could be more careful and vivid in its tutoring of beginners. Although we continued to do a lot of training and exercise during the learning process, it was still very boring and difficult to read the editor's guide. I think it could have been more graphic in this area, for example, the explanation of one of the steps could have been accompanied by more pictures or even GIFs. Also, I find the Talk feature a little lacking. I'm reluctant to use it because it seems redundant and uninteresting. I thought it might be possible to insert a comment function into the edit page, just like in Google Doc. Instead of having to read a lengthy peer review or Talk discussion, editors are free to accept everyone's opinions and clearly see which parts of the article need to be revised. I thought it would be more intuitive to insert the suggestions directly into the edit page. In short, according to what we have learned in the lecture, Wikipedia is a familiar product to all of us, but seems normal for people to contribute, especially for new comers.

I haven't been using Wikipedia for a long time, but in the process I've learned things that readers or searchers don't. If I am a new user with limited experience on the platform, it may take time for my advice to gain traction and be taken more seriously. However, by actively contributing to the platform in a positive and productive manner, I can build up my reputation and credibility over time, and my recommendations and opinions may carry more weight in the future.
