[Air-L] How Wikipedia Works

[Barry Wellman]

Is a good first guide to how to use Wikipedia, showing how to start, edit,
merge, etc. articles.
By Phoebe Ayers, Charles Matthews, & Ben Yates.
No Starch Press (SF)

It's endorsed by WikiPope, Jimbo Wales.

It also has a inside cover blurb by me: "Anyone can edit, but to make your
edits stick, you need to know what you're doing."

However, my favorite line is from a blurb by Wiki inventor Ward
Cunningham, "To write every day is good advice, but to publish every day
is even better."

I'm gonna put that in my writing book, if I ever get around to writing
it;-)
