For my Wikipedia experiment, I altered the page on Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Minister's Black Veil." This short story's page was severely lacking information. There was merely a list of character analysis and Hawthorne's inspiration. I added a section for Plot Summary as well as Symbols. Hopefully, people will continue to input more analysis on the work to supplement the main symbol- the black veil as the representation of secret sin. It will be interesting to watch the progress of the article.
I have to say altering the page was a little more difficult than I had imagined, as I had to include code to alter. I also had to ensure that I properly cited the work, in order for it to remain on Wikipedia. I thought this was intriguing, so I decided to create a new page for Emerson's essay "Experience." This was easier since I had already learned how to use the toolbar and proper code. I made it pretty basic, in the hopes that some brilliant philosopher will add on to it.
Here is the link to the article:
