It's wiki-time

Hi guys and girls!


How are you?

The topic I'm going to talk about this week is our wiki project. Last week I was so excited because of the skype exchange that I forgot talking about the wiki we are building on...^_^


The subject we are dealing with on our wiki is RECYCLING. If I had to be completely sincere I'd have to tell that is not my favourite topic, because as I have already told you in my indtroductive post my favourite topics are soprt and TV, BUT (pelase notice that I've written it in capital letters) I want to add that thanks to this project I'm learning a lot about recycling.


There are two pages: Recycling in Italy and Recycling in the USA

In the Recycling in Italy page we collected a lot of information about how recycling is organised according to the different regions or towns in Italy. We also wrote about recyclable and non-recyclable materials and how these materials can be re-used. At the beginning maybe I didn't appreciate very much the topic we were supposed to talk about but now I'm satisfied because I learnt a lot of things that before I didn't know about how to recycle.

In the Recycling in the USA page we collected the information our American colleagues gave us during our skype exchange. Unfurtunately last Monday I had another lesson so no skype for me...T_T. BUT (again in capital letters ^_^) I contributed to that wiki the week before. Thanks to what our American friends told us we have been able to write a quite good Wiki page withe a lot of information...


It is very fun and interesting to contribute to a wiki page BUT (third 'but' in capital...) there is one thing I can't stand: why someone has the power to "destroy" what I have done If I did it for the whole group? For example, last week I was trying to give the wiki a good structure and after a hard work I succeded in dividing the page in sections and put all the text with the same font and it came out a well-done job (not only because it was my job...^_-). When the following day I checked out if someone had edited the page, I discovered that the adjustments made were not in the right section and with another font...I've found it very annoying because it is not for my pleasure if I work in order to give the wiki a comprehensible structure but for the whole group...SO please, pay attention to these "little" things too and not only to the content of what you are writing.

That's all for now and I hope nobody will get angry for what I've just written...I hope you will read it as a constructive criticism...^_^

Cheers
Alice
