Originally, I had a difficult time trying to decide what to edit. I kept asking myself, “what do I know that others don’t”? (guess I’m not really an expert on anything). But the more I thought about it, I decided to edit the page for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital because I have worked with them a TON and figure I know a thing or two.
When I first went to the page, at the top it says that the page has multiple issues and asking people to help improve it. The issues were: this article needs additional citations for verification and this article appears to be written like an advertisement.
I found this very interesting that they are working hard to ensure the credibility and objectivity of the information, yet we so often dismiss it as unworthy of our use in academic work.
Though most of the information was complete and all of it was accurate as far as I could tell, the fundraising section was missing many types of fundraising events and details about the events, how long they have been going on, who and what was involved, and how much they raised. I added in multiple sections and resources for those looking at the page to check out.
I orginially had trouble with the citations but it turned out I had deleted one symbol that I needed. Much to my suprise, I found the article very easy to edit and information about how to edit easy to locate.
