Editing Encyc:Community portal/Archive 1 (section)

==Unclear as to why I should edit==
I suppose I could edit to promote my sites. Otherwise... I should edit because? [[User:Wikademia|Wikademia]]

: Thank you for your honesty, as always.  I'm wondering if this question has come up on Wikipedia, and if so maybe there's an essay somewhere we could copy under creative commons.  I understand it might seem pointless to edit a wiki encyclopedia sometimes but consider:
:# Teaching is a fufilling experience
:# Writing sharpens your own mind
:# It' a nice, free hobby that won't get you in trouble and makes you a better person
:# Plus as an early adopter you can say you were there in the beginning.
: I'm sure that there must be other reasons but we'll save it for the essay. [[User:Auggie|Auggie]] 12:32, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

::# Teaching to people who don't want to learn results in failure
::# You can write using pen and paper
::# Reading books is nice too
::# Age is of little importance

But anyway, you should edit because you find it enjoyable. [[User:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\]] 19:39, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

And don't you get a warm fuzzy feeling every time you see the Encyc logo that you improved with the transparent background? [[User:Auggie|Auggie]] 06:00, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
