wikiHow: Help edit fall prevention articles

Posted January 6, 2016

"wikiHow is a collaborative effort to create the world's most helpful how-to guides. Like Wikipedia, wikiHow is a wiki, in that anyone can write or edit a page on the site. Thousands of people from all over the world have collaboratively written 191,382 how-to articles. Alexa ranks us in the top 200 most popular websites in the world." - from wikiHow's 'About Us'

There are two how-to guides on wikiHow about fall prevention, and I think they could use some updating and improving to reflect current best practices supported by the literature. I was hoping that some Loop members with expertise could work (individually or in a group) to edit these guides. I'd be happy to assist if you need help to input the edits. We could also arrange for a telephone conference line if a group of people would like to talk it over.

There can also be some discussion below around how to improve the articles. Feel free to leave a comment if you have any ideas to share.
