I am an experienced editor at Wikipedia. 

Occupy Chicago has its own entry. What do you think should go into the article.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THE FOLLOWING 3 COMMANDMENTS that if you don't follow will create deletions. 

1. No point of view, subjective remarks in article.  It's an encyclopedia after all and you must use EXPOSITORY WRITING.  You wouldn't find in World Book that "At the end of the Civil War, the North thoroughly crushed the South and left those who still wanted slavery into a pathetic band that subsequently formed the KKK". 

2. No original research.  You can't write an article for the Reader and use the same facts in Wikipedia.

3.  Verifiable.  This is a positive.  We continue maintaining that 1% owns far too much wealth.  We can verify with reputable statistics the maldistribution of wealth ! 

 

If you are a member of Wikipedia (very easy to register) you can participate in the backroom discussion about the Occupy Chicago article.  I am the first one that wrote something in the "Talk" part of the article.  If you are not registered w/ Wiki you cannot access the backroom discussion in "Talk"
