While working on Assignment Three, I chose to edit the piece on Wikipedia, and the ten reasons why students cannot cite or rely on Wikipedia. Throughout my piece, I first read it multiple times to grasp an understanding on the concept of what I was reading. Once I developed that understanding, I proceeded to make grammatical changes as well as rewording some sentences to make them either stronger or more comprehensible. I learned these in Style and When Words Collide.
I feel that this source itself was an example of lower states, in that it is more fact based and it exists as itself. I think that the people going on Wikipedia and entering false information, as stated in the article, is an example of higher stases. I feel the article is geared toward the audience of Wikipedia users, as well as college students, and students of any age.
I think that this article proved to be helpful because it gave me a hands on experience in the line of editing, which all in all will prove to make me a better writer. With practice makes perfect.
