language
Wikis should be written in Your own words, suitable for
the intended audience (people will read it)
Feedback: you should provide positive, supportive
feedback, perhaps using the two stars and a wish
format in which you say two positive things and suggest
one area for improvement
Proofreading The importance of presenting web pages
with the minimum possible spelling or grammar mistakes,
especially as pages are to be viewed by others
