This article is the one I am most proad of. I started the article in February from scratch because I was surprised the prestigious University of Delaware football team did not have a wikipedia listing. So I started the topic with a little bit of text and it was immediatly marked by Wikipedia adminstrators for speedy deletion. So I asked the administrators for one week to get the article up to par. They gave me a week and over this time I posted in a forum on www.gohens.net (a website for the most diehard Delaware football fans) a link to the article and asked them to contribute. Within days the article had grown 5 times as big as my intial posts and the admin sent me a message saying that all I had to do to keep the article online was add a picture and categorize the article. I did that and the speedy deletion tag was removed and now the article will be online forever. It is now up to number 3 when you type University of Delaware football into the google search engine.

The Hfstival is a very large rock concert held in Washington DC or Baltimore at the end of May.This wikipedia article was one of the most challangeing to edit. Two of my edits were deleated within hours of my posting. One of my edits was to make note that the lineup someone posted for the 2006 festival was completely speculative. About 3 hours after that my note saying the lineup was speculative was deleated, although the speculative lineup posted was also deleated. It was than pretty easy to edit after that because lots of information about the 2006 show May 27 and 28 became availiable and needed to be added to the site. Alot of times people beat me to the punch with adding the information but i was able to cleanup alot of the info and add meaningful improvements to the article.

On the KDR wikipedia page I planned on adding alot of things that were related to the history of the fraternity but some other users beat me to the punch and added alot of information. I just cleaned up some of there errors and added lots of external links that they forgot. None of my edits got deleted. Overall the article came along way since I started the class but honestly I had very little to do with it, the community beat me to the punch.

The Six Flags America Wikipedia page I have been editing has come along way. I added up to date information about ticket prices and new attractions. I used the site Screamscape as my main research site. Screamscape has lots of information about the themepark industry and I have been checking it for years. I used to work at the park, thats why I chose the topic. The community did not change anything I added to the article and there were 4 people who edited the article inbetween the times I edited. They mostly added external links.

Hans post on Podcasts

I read my team mate Han's post on Podcasts today and I tend to agree that podcasts are becoming more and more prevelant. I too have been seeing lots of new podcasts popping up all over the place. University of Delaware recently wrote an article about the success of there podcasts in udaily.

Six Flags America wiki edit

I edited the Six Flags America Wikipedia article again. I did some research and found out that the Ultra Twister coaster that was formerly at Six Flags Astroworld in Houston Texas is a the park now in storage and will more than likely be installed in time for the 2007 season. Also I posted that the park has a new GM named Terry Parker.

Naked Conversations Blog

I read an interesting post on the Naked conversations blog today about the new Southwest Airlines Blog. Shel Criticizes the blog for not providing content that is interesting. Shel claims that the blog just reiterates information everyone already knows and does not generate enough interest to get quality dialog started. Shel recommends adding posts from flight attendants and pilots to increase interest in the blog.

Walmart and Labor unions

I remembered reading an article a while back in my local Bowie Maryland newspaper.The Walmart near my house had a huge protest that was set up by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. Walmart does not have there own union as I stated in class, I remembered wrongly. Sorry for the confusion. A link to the article is listed below. There was also alot of press in Maryland about a "Walmart law" that forced large companies to provide more benefits.Link to article

Deal Catcher

I checked out the Deal Catcher site for the first time today. It works pretty good I found a few good deals that I didn't think were possible. I used a few of these comparision web sites years ago and they have come along way. I remember using mysimon in its earlier version and all the deals I found linked to broken sites and were outdates. I am impressed my how they now update the site almost everyday and majority of the links are reliable. I will be using Deal Catcher and Froogle regulary now.

Kappa Delta Rho wiki edit

I added a link to the Rho Chapter at Lafayette in Easton PA today. I visited this house at the very begining of this semester and its very impressive.
