It took me a while to think of and find an article that I thought I could add anything to. I ended up editing the article for my favourite movie, "Heartlands", as I knew it was a small British film and not very popular. I was able to add some information about a folk singer who is featured in the film into the plot description, and I added her official website to the links.
I was surprised at how easy and satisfying it was to edit the article. I can see it becoming an addictive hobby for some. I have heard that the majority of wikipedia articles were written and/or edited by a select few editors and I can see how some people would really become passionate editors.
I do use wikipedia occasionally to get a general idea about a topic but am still weary about it's accuracy and always try to persuade customers to find more reliable sources when I get the opportunity.
Interesting exercise.
