I was completely clueless on where to start my Wikipedia adventure. Luckily, after searching Hello Kitty, only to find a huuuuuuge amount of information that already exists about on the precious little cat (who would have guessed that Wikipedia would already have so much info on Hello Kitty), I decided to search Barbacoa. I was hoping that there wouldn’t be a barbacoa page at all, but as Dave said in class…

“Wikipedia determines reality.”

If it’s real, it’s on Wikipedia. However, after reading the page about Barbacoa I found some errors (yay!!). As I jumped from link to link, I also discovered some errors on the Barbicoa page, and the Barbeque page. So…here are my first ever Wikipedia edits….drum-roll pleeeasessee. ( even my changes will probably disappear in a few minutes, because someone else will find fault in them…oh well, this is still my moment…let me enjoy it please.)

1.    Barbacoa
   
   • I added “in a hole dug in the ground, covered in maguey leaves,” to the first sentence because it just said that it was in a pit covered in leaves. If you look at the barbecue page, it talks about the maguey leaves.
2.    Barbecue
   • I changed the word Barbicoa to the word Barbacoa because the page for Barbacoa fits the description than the page for Barbicoa. I also added a link to the Barbacoa page (there was no link to the Barbicoa page).
3.    Barbicoa
   • There was a bit of redundancy on this page. It gave the meaning of the word twice, so I deleted one of the meanings and moved the other one to the beginning of the paragraph where it gives the origin of the word.

There you have it, my not-so-but–maybe-kinda-sorta-significant contributions to the “Monstrous Prodigy,” also known as Wikipedia. So far it’s been almost thirty minutes and my changes are still there;it’s about time to celebrate.
