Five new and exciting things I learned from this project!
1. Wikipedians exist in “real life”!!!2. There are already many active
WikiProjects out there waiting for us to join them
3. There are talented Wiki developers & engineers constantly making cool new tools
4. Wikipedia articles are patrolled, ranked, & evaluated by the community in a very orderly and systematic way
5. Editing is addictive, so watch out!
