Since this is a forum filled with bio pipol and minions from all facets of biology, how much 'KNOWN' knowledge do you help upload on the net, like in Wikipedia?

Splice is the scariest Bio-tech based movie ever. People, don't be like the character in it.

I wanted a dozen times, but it always seemed like a lot of work to get it all right, almost as writing the paper and I hate writing. But some time ago I was looking something up some famous guy with a mutation in a gene I was working with and they had the wrong diagnosis there. I couldn't stand a completely wrong article and wanted to fix it and link to the appropriate diagnosis. But on the polycythemia page, this diagnosis wasn't even mentioned so I needed to edit it too, to contain detailed information to be linked to. At all it may have been like three or four edited sentences, but it took me more than two hours to be sure I got it all right and the code and everything. So that's my small contribution to date.
Our country has a serious deficiency in lighthouses. I assume the main reason is that we have no sea.

For me it's similar, thought about it, ideas, but then no time and a good excuse:
A friend of me told me about his experiences. He wrote about his research field (whch was also part of his theses about something in organic chemistry), and changed and corrected quite a lot in the existing wikipedia text. Anyway another author then "corrected" most of his changes back to the former version. Then some see-saw changes, discussions and argument. But he finally didn't feel like doing it again and discuss it with a kind of troll. I guess this wikipedia chapter still has some more or less wrong content
And for me a good excuse not to start at all...

I takes too long with all that "programming langauge" , if it was just writing (like here) I would do it, but on wiki.. pfff.
+ as said here: the english version, you can change it, but they will often change it right back.

If you don't know it, then ask it! Better to ask and look foolish to some then not ask and stay stupid.
