My inital interest with Wikipedia posting was gaming. Not just regular gaming, I wanted to talk about Halo2 specially in regards to Ethernet connection. How Ethernet makes the game better, what the connection does, how to use the connection/set up, and what the original Halo game was like without Ethernet connection. However and unfortunately, when I looked at the Halo2 page there was a slew of information already on my topic! I was surprised but not discouraged until I started to read the text. Wow. They have everything covered. I mean, there was stuff I didn't even know about on there. Here I come along thinking I could make a significant contribution but apparently not. Thus, I have decided to switch my topic. Sadly. In any event, I think I am going to focus on phone novels if the professor says it's ok. I don't think she will object, so I'm starting to refrence it. I found the reading which we were assigned to be really interesting so I think this will be the perfect topic for me. In addition, I looked up the page on Wikipedia and they need more citations and refrences!!! yay!!! I am excited. I totally want to be a Wikipedia editor. I haven't got a specific focus just yet because I really want to read and refrence phone novels before I pick. I will add to this post later or tomorrow and identify what I will be doing in more detail. If anyone has any ideas either on Halo2 or the phone novels I am open for suggestions as always.
I began to read the manual for posting/editing on Wikipedia and mannnn is that thing LONG! I actually fell asleep at my computer reading it. I made the mistake of trying to print it out and now my printer is out of ink. I suggest reading parts of it though because it really is helpful. The manual link is on the course homepage. It definately clears things up. It even shows examples of how to do the editing. The sandbox is really cool. I think the name "sandbox" is adorable!! Good luck everybody. (I know I'll need it) : )
Safe place, no judgement.

lol....ur funny. I think those topics are interesting especially halo2. I think you shouldn't get discouraged try to find more information on the topic that intrigues you more. If not then choose your second option. Thanx for letting everyone know about the manual link on homeepage i didn't know that. I'll go check it out. Goodluck!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't even sure what Halo2 was, until you mentioned in class on Monday that it was a game. I definitely think that posting on the phone novels is a good topic selection. The article that Dr. Chandler gave us in class can help you, I'm sure. Likewise, the links that she also put up. Go with this idea! I think its a good topic and sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteha, well, i think phone novels will be so interesting for you to do because it does spark an interest that you have and i am sure through researching to post things to the wiki articles, you will be more educated about phone novels and be able to share interesting facts with us as well as your article.. the page on wiki hardly has much so its all yours!!! you can add as much as you want because the article has a lot of room to grow!
ReplyDeleteWell... You know about Halo 3 and Halo Wars, right? The whole concept of Ethernet and playing with people online has become pretty expansive. You don't even get to chose who you will play because there are too many people. Bungie just group you in where they thing you should be based on matches won and lost and behavior.
