About how I got to Wikipedia (2005)

edit

I have heard of Wikipedia several times before, first from my brother and then from my best friend. At this point I also want to mention my B2 First Teacher, who mentioned as first teacher Wikipedia and FM4 to me, wich were no new names for me, because I used them already daily, at that time, but I found it intresting that the teachers knew of such webpages and youth oriented radio stations.

FM4 is an english/german austrian youth orientated radio station, by the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation ORF, wich created the Prix Ars Electronica, wich awarded Wikipedia last year.

Since one or two months ago (about February 2005) I have been visiting Wikipedia quite often, and since April I have begun editing.

I try to add as much information as I can from school or other information sources to Wikipedia, when I use it.

Can't resist to put this unnecessary thing here

Entertaining quotes from Wikipedia

"Early photos of Earth taken from space inspired a mild version of the overview effect in earthbound non-astronauts, and became prominent symbols of environmental concern."
