If you've ever Googled anything, one of the entries you've probably come across is Wikipedia, the free on-line encyclopedia.

The Admiralty Law section of the encyclopedia was in pretty bad shape---full of misinformation and outright incorrect assertions. I couldn't stand it so l looked into how to change it. It turns out to be remarkably easy.

While you get no by-line or credit for it, anyone can add to or change the Wikipedia content, as long as they are willing to give their names for attribution. I did it, and now I've sort of adopted the Admiralty Law section as my own.

It is a work of progress, but if you would care to view it, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiralty_law
