Wikipedia Rolls Out Mobile Editing For All Users 55
An anonymous reader writes "Wikipedia today announced it has launched support for editing content on your mobile device. The first version of mobile editing, which requires a Wikimedia account, is available right now. 'For our first release, our primary goal was to create a fast, intuitive editing experience for new users and experienced editors alike, while still sticking with markup editing for now,' Wikimedia's Juliusz Gonera explained. 'We started simple so we could observe our users' needs and expectations.'"

Considering trying to shillpedia is a waste of time to begin with, i cant recall a single edit on any one article i ever attempt to add to or correct mistake that wasnt reverted in 12 seconds by one guy who has claimed sole ownership of every article about a particular subject.
For example the article for creedence clearwater revival has a list of all their concerts, the problem? one of their biggest european concert dates and the location was not there. So i add it, 2 minutes later, its gone. Matter of fact on any article for this artist any information you try add will be removed by whoever has taken it upon themselves to 'own' the said article and not allow anyone else to touch it.
So yeah mobile editing will be oh so useful on an encyclopedia that only the privileged and or those who have an agenda can edit or alter to suit their agenda.
Wikipedia is part of all the misinformation in the world. sigh, i use it for looking up stuff im pretty sure i already know is correct, otherwise dont count on it for any kind of historic usefulness or information on certain people.
