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.

Modern Media

Hello,
This blog is pertaining to the Media changes. The class discussion and powerpoints talk about how there is now fragmentation, integration, time shifting and mobile media. I would go and say that I agree with all of these expect mobile media. I believe that the mobile media will grow more from what it is today while telephone makers make the screens and interface easier for users to use it. But I think that there is a limit to the growth. Hand held devices will never equal the computer. I believe it may be come a good supplement for the computer, but will never be used in the same way. That is all for me.

Until the next insight.....

Benefits of HTML coding

Hello,
I am going to be talking about benefits of learning at least the basics of HTML coding. I think this is something that should be taught more vigourously in school for every major. We all should be required to take an entire class where we build our own web site. It should be done much like this class has been run except for instead of creating your own blog you create your own web site. Personally it is one area that I have truly missed. I need to use my basic knowledge of coding and tried to at least have something there for people to view. Thank you to classes like this one, I just wish it went a little further.

Dodge edit # 3

Dodge lovers here it is again,
I have made my third and final edit to the Dodge Wikipedia page. I once again made the edit to the History section of the page. In this edit I added a two sentences that talked about Dodge's first year in business. The added entry was written like this, "In that first year, Dodge introduced the "Old Betsy," a rugged car built for reliability and durability. That year Dodge built a total of 249 new cars."

Stay tuned for a wrap up blog.....

Dodge edit # 2

hello dodge lovers,
I made my third edit to the Dodge page of wikipedia in the History section. In this edit I added the where the Dodge brothers were located prior to moving to Detroit Michigan. I added the phrase, "from Windsor, Ontario, Canada where they were making intricate auto parts." That is all but the next edit is just around the corner, so beware.

Comment on Ryan Dzielak Steve Nash edit

Hello basketball fans,
I am responding to Ryan Dzielak blog regarding Steve Nash's 2006-7 season. Ryan mentions that Dirk Nowtiski received the MVP award. Although he was the best player on the best team, I believe Dirk did not deserve the award. Canadian born, Steve Nash was the real MVP. He was the most valuable player, without him the Pheonix Suns would not be where they are. If you take any other star player off the team, the team would not falter as much. That is my piece, but who am I, a lonely blogger.

Until the next blog... stiuqxela

Edit number 3!!! to Grupo Modelo

Hello all readers,
As promised I have made my third and final edit to the Grupo Modelo wikipedia page. I
made the change to The Lime section of the page. I added the sentence, "Coronas heavy media presence in the United States may be the reason for the disparity in the two beer cultures." I felt that I had an insight to why the phenomenon was happening.

Peace, Love and Beer.... stuiqxela
