[edit]

This page is just to experiment with the creation of Wikipedia pages, including formatting, and insertion of media and links.

Goal of the exercise

[edit]
Low density polyethylene shopping bag

Most of us have used wikipedia in the past. Whether it is to figure out the capital of Latvia or what is the gas constant, all of us have ended on Wikipedia at least once. However, most of us do not actually consider:

  1. How Wikipedia pages are generated, how many proper citations are needed, what makes a good article
  2. How articles are vetted
  3. How articles are maintained and updated

Therefore this exercise aims to give you a sense of these different aspects, while acquiring new knowledge in Animal Physiology, for example we could talk about this awesome paper[1].
