Earlier this week transpired my first editing of wikipedia. This was the phrase: “However, the Athenians recaptured Toroni under Nicias, just before the return of Brasidas, who was 2 miles away.” (My edit was to change Nicias to Cleon.)
Some things that surprised me: (i) it was very easy. I was looking for an address to inform someone about what I thought to be an error, and found it simpler to correct the error myself. (ii) Nicias had been hyperlinked in the text to Niciases wikipedia page, and when I changed it to Cleon, that link automatically changed to Cleon’s wikipedia page. (iii) didn’t need to log in or create an account. The whole process took 30 seconds, a minute.
