Wikipedia: The Missing Manual
I have turned in my review and don't need the book anymore. It's free to anyone who wants it.
It's most useful for someone who in tends to spend a good bit of time editing articles at Wikipedia. There's lots of stuff about how to code images and what to do when you bump into other people editing the same article you are, and like that.

Yesterday, the coach left quiz bowl practice and one of the kids decided to use his computer to "change" a Wikipedia entry. The change was amusing and incorporated the names of many on the team.
Emma was appalled because she is worried about the poor kids using Wikipedia as a source for their homework.

I'm sure that has been reverted already. Check.
And what are you doing on the computer so early?

I usually go online around 6:00. That's when I get up to take Maddie to school.
No, it hasn't been fixed.
