Dallas Cowboys wikipedia evolution
Its obvious that I love this football team, so therefore with the football season ending I had to pick an article about them. My edits consisted of updating information on the Franchise history section and updating player and roster information as they came available. I even added information on new coaches once they were hired, and touched up grammar where necessary in this extremely large article. As far as the community reaction, my edits still remain until this day, except for the information added to the "2006 season" section being moved onto an entirely different article. With the upcoming season, I anticipate some of my edits to the coaches and players to change, for some may no longer be with the team at a later date. Check out this cool page.
Friday night lights Wikipedia article evolution
First off, this show is awesome if you never watched it. It started this past fall and immediately grabbed my attention. Anyway, each time I edited the article I updated information that had changed as the show went on, including new character bios and updated character information. My edits were unchanged for the most part, except where even more characters were added and some were put into a "Secondary Roles" section. On the whole, this article went from a baby in February, to a large article full of alot of information by the end. This was most likely due to its growing popularity over the semester. Ratings, Awards, and Deleted Scene headings were added since I started on the article.
Thomas' Wikipedia article evolution
I first randomly chose this article because I loved the product so much. I then came to find that the article on Wikipedia had hardly been touched. So I updated some information on its Bagelbread product, which was untouched by anyone else. In addition to updating general information and even adding a picture, I put some things about english muffins on it last evening. So today I look at the article and, come to find out, some ***hole deleted my picture and headings on Bagelbread and English muffins, stating it was blatant advertising. This ****ed me off, but I can understand that the image may have been copywritten. Oh well, I guess this is how Wikipedia works. Check out the now plain article.

my blog
Well I just added Google's adsense and Amazon's affiliate program, although I don't expect to get any money from them (suprising things have happened). So as you can tell I've put alot into my blog tonight and will do more work in the coming days. This is because the semester is almost over and I am about to graduate. My blog is very simple, although I hope that you see it as more than a dull webpage. I have edited wikipedia pages on two of my favorite sports teams, the Phillies and Cowboys, to which I hope have great upcoming seasons. In closing, I hope you've enjoyed my blog and the things that I've posted on it.
Last Wikipedia edit
For the Philadelphia Phillies Wikipedia page, I cleaned up alot of things like I did on the Cowboys page. I changed alot of things written to reflect past tense and added a few tidbits. You can see them here.
3rd Cowboys edit
I rearranged some info in the "franchise history" section of the article, doing some grammar clean up and making the article flow much better. You can check it out here.
3rd Thomas' edit
I edited the Thomas' wikipedia article. I simply added more information on one of its most popular products, English muffins. Check it out
