The next Wikipedia edit I thought I'd evaluate is my BNL entry. Initially, a lot of the information I had wanted to add was already there. I really had to navigate their website in order to come up with other things worth mentioning. Since I am from Long Island and have been on their tour numerous times, I was able to add some information unknown to most others, such as:
- That the lab has its own zip code along with its own police station and fire station! Also, since this acknowledges how large the lab is, I looked up how big the site is, 5,265 acres!
- I also knew a lot about the summer program so I added to that section. I wrote during what time the programs take place and what they include.
- Being somewhat of a dork in HS, I would sometimes help out with the Robotics club. Because of this, I knew that the lab was deeply committed to supporting education on LI and was able to look up to what extent.
- I also noted that the lab is currently the 5th largest high-tech employer on the LI.
In addition, I also added what other facilities the lab is partnering with as well as how the lab, being government-owned, is funded for its activities. I think my added contribution was great in that it included a lot of important issues and facts that had not yet been addressed in the entry.
