Contributing to wikipedia

[Bon Echo]

This is something I've long thought about doing and wondered if other waymarks do. We do a lot of research to create waymarks. How often in researching a location have you been surprised to see nothing on wikipeida? Just now I was looking up a "sea stack" or "flower pot" ("a geological landform consisting of a steep and often vertical column or columns of rock in the sea near a coast, formed by wave erosion" - from wikipeida https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_%28geology%29). The stack that I visited has been waymarked http://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/WM1VW_DEVILS_MONUMENT_LOOKOUT_Ontario_CANADA but it's not included in the wikipedia list of stacks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sea_stacks#Canada.

 

So do you contribute to wikipedia, yes or no? Why or why not? It seems we do rely a good deal on materials from that site. So why not also contribute. Just curious. Thanks for your responses.

I have many fields of interest, but I am not an expert in any of them. At least not on a level to create Wikipedia articles.

 

So I not contribute on article level, but I do minor changes like adding items to lists and correct obvious mistakes.

 

And I have uploaded hundreds of pictures during "Wikipedia Loves Monuments" contests. So when a Wikipedia article hase the same picture as one of my waymarks, it was not stolen. It was uploaded by me and it was on Waymarking first.
