After years, and years of using the world known database Wikipedia, I have finally etched myself into history by creating a Wikipedia account! For such a popular website on which millions of people upload information that can be used as sources for papers, it was incredibly easy to create an account. To create an account, you can simply go to the website, and select the create account on the top right. You will then be left with a couple of boxes to fill out which are fairly simple and common when creating any sort of accounts. However, one piece of advice I would like to share is that when creating your username for your Wikipedia account, I would recommend using some sort of made up name which is unrelated to your actual name as your account name will be public. An article that I plan to edit is vegetation article which can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetation . I will be looking into adding what vegetation actually does in environments. Although I realize this article is a broad page about vegetation, I believe a simple function of this type plant would help out tremendously on people looking up this page. One of the functions that forest vegetation plays in some ecosystems is protecting water quality. I plan to incorporate a broad function amongst most vegetations to edit into this page.
