It was not an easy task for me to find an article I wanted to edit: as that required proper references, and due to time restraints, it was not possible. As there was nothing about my branch in the Wikipedia, I thought about creating an article, however, once again I was prevented from doing that as I did not have proper references! So, I tried to find a cooking article where two different spellings of a food item were used, and I easily edited that. It was a fun exercise indeed, and quite useful.
To the Anonymous in the Delicious comments, from now on, I will be keeping a note of the time spent during these exercises:
Reading About Wikipedia: 10 min.
Searching for an article about my branch or prairie gardening to edit: 5 min.
Reading how to edit/create: 10 min.
Searching for another article, and editing it: 10 min.
Writing this blog: 5 min.Total time: 40 min.

This is definitely a time consuming activity, especially if you want the full experience. It took me at least 40 minutes and I didn't get everything out of it that I wanted.
