Phils+Writeup

Introduction
Firstly, as with anything else on this site I suppose this is a work in progress. I am Philip Hudson, and I want to say that I thought this a great activity, and it really looks like it's working.

What I've Done
So far I've popped that nice banner on the front page, modified a bunch of pages, including complete rewrites on two. The rest was all cleanup work. Oh, I relinked the TOC as well once. Seems most people don't get the idea that the TOC is just another page and anyone can modify it too.

My Thoughts on This Project
Whew, what can I say. We'll see when it comes time to marking. I do NOT envy the TA that has to go through everybody's edits to see what all we've done and figure out how to "mark" that, especially when a lot of people are plagurising and doing minor edits that might require a lot to notice and/or make a lot of difference to the page. How can you say that one person's sourced, 10 word edit (which might have cracked open the whole idea of a subject) is worth more than what another person quickly typed from their heads? This is going to be interesting. Disregarding that, this project is pretty cool. I'm an occasional editor on wikipedia, and I really love the format so I was pretty enthusiastic on this. Not as enthusiastic as some people it seems! I was editing the work today of someone who plagurised one of the articles (Space of Flows) and they had 87 edits! I mean, wow, that's a lot of edits! That proves that this format is working in many ways. I have all the best hopes for it, anyhow, especially in an educational setting.
