Can I put Wikipedia in my volunteer/service?

<p>I like to edit articles on wikipedia, been doing that for a year, is that considered community service?</p>

<p>I mean, I am applying my knowledge and computer skills into an online database that helps the public gain information.</p>

<p>No. You could put that for a hobby though.</p>

<p>No but you can put it in additional information to demonstrate your interests.</p>

<p>Not community service, but could be in extra info (just adding on to the "no" voice).</p>

<p>I think it is clever to consider that community service. And it is something you seem to honestly like spending time doing; way too many applicants feel obliged to go to the nursing home and read to the old people so it will look good on their app.</p>

<p>LOL! A lot of people sure like to put editing Wikipedia as an activity. It's not.</p>

<p>Depends... If you are fixing typos and dates, adding random facts, inserting your political bias etc., probably not.</p>

<p>If you are an administrator or work with a lot of people in the Wikipedia community, then I think it would be meaningful. (You may want to elaborate on it so they don't think you're being a lazy bum and just adding junk on there).</p>
