I am a great lover of Wikipedia. Don’t get me wrong–I recognize it has a lot of shortcomings. I just hoped everyone was honest like me. We could all utilize Wikipedia and never doubt its vast knowledge of the world. Afterall, it is freely sharing with us information about everything with a simple click of a mouse. So why do people have to be so mean to it?

Today I edited a Wikipedia article. I’ve done this twice in my life (now three) and both times were additions that were both accurate and helpful.

A. When Natalie Portman won her Oscar in 2011 I changed the article (for her!).

B. There was a grammar mistake (wrong use of “an”) on The Airborne Toxic Event’s page.

I’m a huge fan of Stephen Colbert (like, I would convert to Catholicism and marry him if he asked), but when he encouraged us all to change the Wikipedia article on elephants, I DIDN’T DO IT!

Today, I did it. I changed the page on Manassas’s National Battlefield Park.

Here is the original.

Note: Please enjoy noticing what other tabs I had open at the time. A glimpse into my personal life.

Here is the new page, with my additions.

Just one line! It’s all I could manage! And I still feel dirty. I just hope someone changes it back soon. I’m a horrible person. I should create a Tumblr as punishment.
