As a registered Wikipedia user, you can create your very own Wikipedia profile page. You can add information about yourself like what you do for fun, where you work, and even add links to your own blog or website.

Wikipedia has a lot of content, but it doesn't have it all. If there is a subject you're well versed in, or if you happen to know a person of importance, you can create a Wikipedia article that others can add to in the future. Just make sure your new Wikipedia page has a lot of content and references or sources, otherwise it's likely that it will be deleted as lacking research and therefore, being unreliable.

Editing a Wikipedia article is not as simple as you may first think. When making changes to an article you may need to include sources of where you got your information, add links to other articles and be sure that your additions or changes are useful. This, of course, is to ensure that the information people are getting from Wikipedia is correct and balanced, and not just one person's opinion. Thankfully, there's an area on Wikipedia called the "sandbox" where you can practice writing and edit

When you look at a Wikipedia article for the first time, it may seem like there is just too much information to take in. Besides the main article (which is probably what you were looking for to begin with) there is also a section for a discussion about the article, a section that shows all of the revisions that have been made to the page and, of course, a section where you can edit the page. It's not as confusing as it seems and in this episode I'll tell you what it all means.

Searching for articles on Wikipedia can turn into an adventure!

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia where anyone can be an author. Did you know that there are over 7,500 different varieties of tomatoes?

There are thousands of Wikipedia pages written about any topic you can think of and they can be changed for correctness as well as updated to include up to date facts. Wikipedia is a place for you to share your knowledge and a place for you to learn something.

Google Chrome's "Incognito" mode allows you to visit sites but without others knowing.

Another new feature in Google Earth is Historical Imagery. This feature lets you go back in time to see what an area looked like in the past. This allows you to see how your neighborhood or the neighborhood you grew up in has changed over time.

In Google Earth you can associate your photos with a specific place on the globe.
