Editing a Wikipedia Article

I have never edited a Wikipedia article before today although I have used the service countless times to look up information. The editing process was pretty straightforward and easy. They use a simple text editor similar to the one I am using to write this blog post. I posted an external link to cite one of my edits and that initiated a security measure that I had to jump through. It was a simple image with text that I had to type into a text field and submit. This is to keep people from developing automated programs to spam links on pages.

You can see the edits I made here:
Athens, Georgia -Bus
Athens, Georgia -Air
