Wikipedia Entry Assignment Continued

Day 4: Tuesday, November 24

I've checked to see if any changes occurred or anything has been added to the entry, but nothing has been changed or altered. What I've added to the entry in the summary and critical reception of the film is still there. I plan to see what happens in the next couple of days.

Day 5: Thursday, November 26

Today is Thanksgiving, I've checked my entry and it seems that those who use wikipedia have erased the information that I edited and added to the entry. It seems that wikipedia wasn't keeping an eye on the changes I made because no changes occur a couple of days ago, but since that time, someone must have found my changes not suitable to wikipedia. It does read on the top of the entry, that a clean up may occur if it doesn't meet wikipedia quality standards.

Day 6: Sunday, November 29

I tried to reedit what I changed before, to see if they if they would change it again. They did erase most of what I put, but they did leave one sentence behind that I wrote in the summary, but it was edited to their liking. I've added false information that The Shawshank Redemption won two Oscars for Best Screenplay and Best Actor Morgan Freeman. I will check tommorow as I'm anxious to see if any changes will be made.

Wikipedia Entry Assignment

Day 1: Friday, November 20


I'm searching for wikipedia entries that seem incomplete, outdated, or wrong. I think the entry I'm going to choose is either going to be a movie, television show, or a certain event in history. What I have learned and researched about on wikipedia is how incredibly easy it is to use and change by revising and adding new information. Andrew Keen is right, you don't need much of a brain, wikipedia makes it very simple. Although for certain entries on wikipedia, they have a lock panel, where they don't allow you to use or change anything on the particular entry. Though, there are certain entries that don't have lock panels and you can change or add all you want, by pressing edit on wikipedia and saving.



Day 2: Saturday, November 21


I've decided to choose the movie, The Shawshank Redemption as my wikipedia entry. I feel it's incomplete in certain areas and needs to be added and revised a little bit.

Day 3: Sunday, November 22

I've gone on The Shawshank Redemption entry to make changes about the film and information that I know, but wasn't included. I plan to see if any changes occur or if my changes to the entry remain there or not in a few hours.
