WM3 a Wikipedia Disaster
I have chosen to review and edit the WM3 for my Wiki Project. I find the case being totally interesting, seeing how it happened in my home town. When visiting the page on Wikipidia, I found HUGE errors, I am interested to see what all is hearsay and not actually fact that is on there. It is a huge project, but one that I feel deserves special attention, and special care. I am honestly unbiased on this matter, I can talk from both ends whether the men suspected of killing the 3 young boys are actually guilty or not guilty. And I plan on remaining in the middle, because I don't want to be kicked off wikipidia for Vandalism. :) Check it out sometime, maybe you have some feedback you'd like to share when I make my edits.

Approved, and good luck! Since this is an article on a controversial topic, you might want to start by making an account, and maybe making some minor edits on less-controversial pages, to help establish credibility as a new contributor.
ReplyDeleteThat should make for a very interesting topic for the assignment. Not being from this area originally, I had never heard of the WM3 until I moved here. This case is a very sensitive one to a lot of people and will continue to be a topic of discussion for many years to come.
