Have you ever edited a Wikipedia entry?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I don’t think I’ve ever edited an entry, but I did create a page for myself several times. It was usually deleted literally within seconds. I was also bored four or five summers ago, and I spent many hilarious nights trolling conservapedia.com rather extensively. Many of my edits, additions, and revisions are still there, too. They never really caught on.
