Wikipedia Wrap up

Hello wikipedia editors,
Over the course of the semester I made 3 edits to the following wikipedia pages: Newton, Ma, Newton North High School, Dodge and Grupo Modelo. I will go over each of the blogs and say what has happened since I began editing them. In all the pages, there was changes made that effect grammar, content, and pictures. The majority of my edits were actually not changed. I did make one experiment where I made my own page on wikipedia. I copy pasted the html from another person's page and created my own content. The page was down, the next time I checked.

Newton, Ma: In this blog there has been about 75 edits since I began editing the page. I believe that two of the three edits that I made are still standing. Edits to this page are made about once per every one to three days. Gaps of about a week can be found in between edits at times.

Newton North High School: In this blog there has been about 100 edits since I began editing the page. I believe that three of the three edits that I made are still standing. Edits to this page are made about once per every one to three days, they are also made in bunches, With some gaps of week or so in between.

Grupo Modelo: In this blog there has been just under one hundred edits since I began editing the page. I believe that all of edits are still standing. Edits to this page are made about once per every one to three days.

Dodge: In this blog there has been about 60 edits since I began editing the page. I believe that three of the three edits that I made are still standing. Edits to this page are made about once per every one to three days, similar to Newton North High School, they are also made in bunches. Some times there is a gap of week in between.


At first the edits were a drag, but it is pretty cool that most of my edits are still there. All in all it was a worth while project. I also didnt know if any one else saw the article were one of the co-founders said that the web site was a diaster and it was not how he intended it to turn out? I can not find it any more but it is interesting if any wants to try to look for it.
