Wikipedia Article

In this week’s ALES204 class,we were told to expand a Wikipedia “stub” by adding more information and hopefully make it become a really article. Since I’m a food science students and more familiar with food products,I decided to make some contributions about food on Wikipedia. However, I found that most of the food products or ingredients I was interested in were already in the article format instead of stubs,which is reasonable,since these are all popular products. So,I went through the stub list and finally decided to write something about parboiled rice. It is actually quite exciting to start writing something on wikipedia,because your work will be viewed millions or billions people around world.

At first, I noticed that the previous version provide some good general information about parboiled rice, but most important was it lacked some reliable reference which makes its information doubtful and inconvicing.Hence,I planed to expand this stub by combining some detailed information from journal articles and the knowledge I have learned in related classes,such as the molecular change in starch during gelatinization and retrogradation. Also, I thought it will be useful to give some background information about parboiled rice to make this stub more complete and interesting.

This is my final version of wikipedia assignment-parboiled rice,check it out. Also,I notice that someone is modifing what I have written,but all are  minor changes which make my article more tidy and organised. Through this assignment,I have learned a lot about how to edit or add a wikipedia article and by doing researches,I also gain a better underastanding about parboiled rice. Besides,my classmates ava have done her wiki articles about Chronic wasting disease.

it's quite interesting.
