Have you ever contributed to a wiki? (any publicly-editable online wiki)

   @amin My school's library was perpetually under construction. I'm not proud of it but I switched the building's name on Wikipedia from "Library" to "Construction Zone". It was reverted a few hours later for being "unconstructive".

   @amin I would use wikis more if there were a proper wiki software…

   @amin For publically available ones not often, I've done quite a bit of company internal wiki stuff, and personal, but not so much publically available stuff.

   No, but I've donated.

   @amin I haven't made edits myself, but I've been quoted/referenced in a couple dozen Wikipedia articles.

   @amin I’ve made a few edits to Wikipedia, but I also used to run my own wiki where I made a lot of the initial contributions!

   Unfortunately a lot of server issues brought it down…I’ve been thinking about bringing it back up in the next couple of months.

   @amin Like three Wikipedia edits.
   ...And some details on the Smash Hit Wiki (mobile game!).

    @amin The one time i edited something was +/- a single word, mostly to indicate that there was -and is- information missing, a very incomplete and skewed picture given. A day later, someone edited it back, without delving further into the topic, thus only reinforcing the incomplete picture that is skewed toward what mighty people (including media) have been trying to convey. That frustrated me a lot! i guess i'll have to gather information on a website first, to immediately include citation.
