A comment I made on Monica's blog sort of annoyed me. The fact that I'm a
leech when it comes to
wikipedia is so true. I am to lazy and uneducated to contribute to one of my main sources of information (don't tell my research professor that). Wikipedia is a great tool! So I took it upon myself to edit the
vasovagal syncope page of wikipedia. Well, I only changed two things... The treatment of the phobia. It was easy, and I took some web pics with the cool apple-shift-3 key-stroke on lappy. In case any of you are dissapointed with any particular article on the famous wiki here are some quick steps to counter the flasification of information:
1) make an account (cause you don't want people tracing your grammer errors back to your computer's invisible
bread crumbs).
2) find the page that is in need of repair (Check
George W's, it gets fixed daily).
3) make the revision (basically I just used the other guys format and cut out their words. I love
cut and paste).
4)
save it!
Easy as
pie.
Here is my new and improved vasovagal entry in wikipedia. I'm going to ask my acedemic advisor if I can add this to my
resume!

This is so cool! I love that you took the initiative to do this. And it's funny, 'cause Roberto and I were wondering how to edit or add articles on Wiki just the other day. Now I know how!
I think it's great that you have the initiative to correct the mistake on Wiki. It's like me seeing my wife playing the piano and thinking to myself "I wish I could play the piano". I'm too lazy to work that hard for it and it ain't happening.
