Overall, my experience with the Wikipedia tutorial was good. There are a lot of codes I don't really know how to use, even though the tutorial tried to explain them. I felt that some of the explanations were vague and could have been more written a little more thoroughly for those of us who aren't very computer savy. For the most part though, the tutorial was easy to follow and not extremely difficult to understand.

One pro of Wikipedia is that anyone can edit it. If someone feels something important was left out of an article, he can just add it himself, along with an explanation of why he did it. Another pro is that if an article does not have any sources, it will probably be removed from the site.

The first pro I mentioned is also a con. It's great that anyone can enter information, but that can sometimes make the information false or less credible. It's hard to know what exactly is true, and what someone is just making up.

Editing on Wikipedia seems to be pretty easy. I'm not extremely great with computers, but I think with a little experimenting, I could figure it out.

When it comes to the Five Pillars of Wikipedia, there are two pillars that really jump out at me. One of them is that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to advertise, sell, argue, or tell your personal opinions. The information added to the site should be factual. Another pillar that jumps out at me is that Wikipedia has a code of conduct. Respect other users, and be civil, even if you don't agree with them. It's important to be able to discuss things in a mature manner.
