You can get anything you want at Yechiel's Restaurant
I just got one thing to ask you, kid...
(Well maybe two things.)
1. Did you pick up the trash?
2. Did you learn anything?
If by question 1 you intend "Did I clean up the bad edits I made?" the answer is usually no, but someone else did. If you mean real-world, I was usually the roommate who took the garbage to curbside (or otherwise it didn't get done and we had to wait till the next pickup date).
I did learn some things, both about content and human behavior. Most things I wrote about on Wikipedia, I did not know very well until I prepared to write Wikipedia articles for them. For example related to a chemistry graduate school assignment, see
Polarizable continuum model (T-H-L-K-D) A classmate thanked me for posting that. I learned that dialogue with editors in the Good Article peer review process, which I did as Crystal whacker, could be pleasant even with the inherent challenges of trying to grade someone else's work.
