Editing Wiki

Well I actually found this task rather daunting, mainly because there are so many articles out there. But I found one that was interesting for me to edit. I had to list a cast for 20,000 leagues under the sea. I couldn't figure out why they didn't have one already as it was easy to find. The only problem was, I didn't know how to do it. I let them know where I got the reference from and then I just put the cast list in. So it would be interesting to find out if that was OK, but there are so many articles that need fixing out there.

    i probably should have written to URL

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:20,000_Leagues_Under_the_Sea_(1916_film)#Fair_use_rationale_for_Image:Twenty_Thousand_Leagues_Under_the_Sea.jpg.

    does anyone know how to make this a hyper link?

    Hi Candy,

    To hyperlink a word in your post:
    - click on the 'edit HTML' tab when writing a new post
    -find & highlight the word you want to make into a link
    -click the icon that looks like an infinity sign crossed with a paper clip
    -paste the URL of the site you want to link to in the box
    - click ok and go back to the 'compose' view

    Hope this helps.

    Hey Candy,

    nice work on the wiki editing. I also found this task quite daunting and am contemplating writing a short wiki for my work as it could help with their marketing and I don't feel I know enough specialist knowledge to edit another wiki. What other articles did you find that needed editing?
    Were there many common errors?
