I've noticed over the course of doing this project that there has been an editor or some other contributor besides Alicia and myself that has been adding and editing some of the information on the page. At first I was concerned that my work and contributions might not look as good in comparison, but I feel quite confident with what I've contributed to the Coventry page, and I'm pleased with the results of the several people working on the page.
Adding my final entries to the page was easy, and my feedback was quite positive, so I tried to keep to the way I had been contributing beforehand, and also tried to balance detail with the conciseness of the Wikitravel format. In retrospect, I'm happy with my work and the way the Coventry page has developed, especially considering that I created and started the page myself. I know the page is in no way "my baby" or anything like that, but there's a feeling of satisfaction in being able to go back to the page and know that I contributed to it, looking at it and thinking "I started this."
At first I didn't think I was going to enjoy this project very much since I'm not at all the traveling type (a very big part of the reason I did my hometown), but I did end up liking it, especially, like I said above, the feeling of satisfaction in being able to visibly contribute to a worldwide source of information. It was also nice to be able to share information about my own hometown with other people; many people that live in town are of the opinion that there is nothing to do, nothing around, but I've provided visible proof otherwise on this site that sees worldwide use. It's a nice feeling. I may contribute to other pages in the future since I have a user account now, most likely starting with pages I'm close to in proximity (like the Kent County, RI page), but even if I don't again, it was an interesting and rewarding new experience. It makes me wonder what the next projects will be.
