The content i contributed to still appears on the wikipedia page and according to me will remain as so as the content contributed by me is authentic,though i have not received any notification by wikipedia about acceptance of content but it is included.

Task 4

Respond to the question: What did you learn about User Generated Content from this exercise?

Please do not exceed 400 words for this task.

I learned that open source/user generated content gives us the exposure to contribute to things we know which will in turn help users who want to know/get familiar about the same thing we contribute to.People like me edit Wikipedia just for one reason - self satisfaction.
Let me explain it this way - two strangers are discussing something in front me. One of them says something which I know is not correct / accurate / or is far from truth.
For Ex: Who is the current icc world champion in ODI? Ans -INDIA. I will interrupt and try to correct them, while that is none of my business, nor it harms me in any way. Still I will do that as I cant digest that. As if I am allergic to incorrect facts.In the same manner, I would read a randoM page on Wikipedia and if i find a factual error on it, I will edit it and get back to my reading / surfing. Nothing asked in exchange.
