Without doubt, I agree with one thing that Larkin said in his “Ever write a Wikipedia article?” blog entry (http://larkin-ales204.blogspot.com/2011/11/ever-write-wikipedia-article.html) – Anyone can write and contribute to something, but getting it 'marked' as "Good" and figuring out the citations and coding was more challenging than I had expected for something that turned out to be so easy to edit.”
These few days, I experienced the meaning of doing something important—editing a Wikipedia article! After editing the article, I begin understand what it means to have commitment of time and hard work into writing or editing: I did my own research on Quick bread; verified the accuracy of the information already on the article; expanded on some ideas; and writing new sections inside the article. It was hard work indeed! Now I know what authors of articles (newspaper, journal, Wikipedia etc.,) are feeling. Good thing someone—or some people—started the article already, so I had a blueprint to work on. Thanks my fellow “Quick bread” authors!
I decided to edit the “Quick Breads” article stub. For your information, “Quick breads” are baked products are leavened with chemical leavening agents (such as with sodium bicarbonate and tartaric acid) as opposed to using yeast to leaven the bread. Products include muffins, some cakes and banana bread. Do you want to know more, visit my article! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_bread

I have only edited a small Wikipedia stub on “Quick Bread”, but I realized a portion of my time already passed me by. Nevertheless, it was a good experience, because I made the valuable knowledge about quick bread more accessible to others. Next time someone bites into his/her commercially mass-produced muffin or banana bread and wants to know the science behind it, they’ll have a resource!
Here's an common example of quick bread--BANANA BREAD!
