Be Bold, Man!

How you define the word 'bold'? Bold does not mean radical, but it is an appropriate adjective to be used when coming to wikis. The following shows a quote from an article of Wikiversity:

Wikis only work if people are bold. Go ahead and change something here by editing something there, correcting a mistake or by adding a new perspective or improving the language, whatever you like, as long as it is not a bad edit like vandalism. Wiki is what you are expected to do. Even if it is not the best it can be it is still good to put something down because chances are other people will come along and help improve it. Over time, things improve. Surprisingly, it is something that actually works as long as civility is maintained.

You'll quickly notice the natural and understandable impulse of authors to "own" and protect their writing; this is counterproductive when it comes to wikis. It is a good idea to get rid of that tendency by being open to other people's edits. That's the only way a page will improve over time. Think about it: you might not know every perspective and every angle of a subject. Regardless of how thoughtfully you work, an additional set of eyes will always find something to improve. So be bold not just when editing other pages but accept it on your "own" as well.

Every visitor to my blog is free to treat this blog as a wiki, whereby my guests can give your comments about each post of my blog, probably doing something as mentioned above as an indirect way of editing my blog. Let's us form a community devoted to collaborative learning and treat my blog as your "own" as well! :)
