CPL 2.0: the Wonders of Wikipedia

I spent some time searching Wikipedia on topics on which I consider myself an "expert," and, alas, I could not find any factual (or even grammatical or spelling) errors on those pages. My experience with Wikipedia is that most of it's entries on popular topics are well referenced and edited.

The "Calgary" Wikipedia entry referenced the Mercer Quality of Life survey, but did not have the most up-to-date statistics. I edited the entry to include the 2009 Calgary result, but didn't take the time to figure out how to add an extra reference.

Today I was looking at the Wikipedia entry on "Canada's Top 100 Employers" competition and noted that the organization responsible for the lists--Mediacorp Canada Ltd--is not mentioned. I frequently note that Wikipedia entries contain spelling or grammatical errors, or that there are not proper references for the information. Now that I have a Wikipedia account, I'll likely feel a need to edit more entries like this one.
