Here's a small tale I thought I'd share:
I made an edit at Wikipedia today (10/01/07) for the first time ever. I was counting a large amount of change and an Idaho state quarter caught my eye. It had the phrase "Esto perpetua" inscribed upon it. I wondered what this meant exactly. In Spanish, "Esto" means "this" so I assumed the Latin meaning was probably about the same. Perpetua = perpetual. "This forever"? I figured that it roughly meant "Long Live Idaho". So I searched for the phrase on... Ask.com (b/c Googlewatch scared me a little) and then clicked on a link to Wikipedia. According to the Wikipedia article, a proper translation would be "Let it be perpetual" or "Let it be forever". Anyway, the article stated that this motto was found on the BACK of the quarter when, in fact, it was inscribed on the FRONT. So I corrected that. Thank you, thank you. Just tryin' to do my part.
Unfortunately, I've also been advised by the Prof. that this does not count towards one of my class assignments and I'll still need to complete a PROFESSIONAL wiki edit. Update forthcoming.
