Wikipedia Edit

My 5th edit to the Wikipedia article on UD Football, exceedes the required 4 edits due to the fact that my article on Burnt Sienna was deleted. I founnd on UDaily, the UD online news source, that K.C. Keeler's contract with UD football as head coach would be extended until 2009. I added this info under the heading " Blue Hens under the lead of K.C. Keeler".

As my 5th edit to the Deer Park Tavern article, since my article on Burnt Sienna was deleted, I added more details to the Service heading that I recently created. To inform those interested, I stated that not only does Deer Park offer a full menu from open to close along with nightly specials, they also have nightly entertainment to satisfy their customers.

The article that I created on one of my favorite cover bands, Burnt Sienna, was deleted by Wikipedia due to its promotional activity. I found this somewhat exciting to see the process of an edit/elimination personally. It just shows that there are people out there monitoring wikipedia articles that coincide with its rules and standards. Since this was deleted, I will make 2 more posts to my other articles.

Kristie's blog comments on the article "Should SEOs Care About Wikipedia" and the popularity this website creates, I must agree with Kristie that SEO's should get involved to utilize this no-cost form of generating traffic. With the very nature of this program in allowing users to make additions and edit to articles, companies could monitor and correctly edit articles referring to their company. However one must realize that since this source is created by users, that this source should not be the sole source in researching.

Brenna's blog post commenting on her iColor Studio Wikipedia article suggested that it was categorized as a "Stub". Not being so sure exactly what this term meant, I looked up the term on goggle and found the definition. An article too short to provide more than rudimentary information about a subject should be marked as a stub. One can make edits and or remove article that is considered a stub. When I googled the term, the first site to come up was from Wikipedia, which shows the usefulness and popularity of Wikipedia today.

Lydia originally helped me to set up my Google Adsense, since I am computer illiterate, ( maybe not illiterate, but I use technology in its simplest forms, hey my car still has a tape deck)! But I really liked how she had advertisements of the class' textbooks pictured on the cite. Signing up for Amazon Affiliate will allow me to show the same, and I am one step closer to having my blog to reflect the class template.

Checking out the last member of my teammate, Mike B.'s blog I noticed at first that it was all in pink! lol. The post titled "reflection on class" commenting on the changing technology, I thought it was pretty smart for Mike to compare the use of Facebook as an addiction to most and a potential outlet for marketers to reach their target customers.

I was looking through Kristie's blog, and I really found it interesting how she did her Wikipedia edit on the Warped Tour. We actually had to review the company Vans and their corresponding programs, the Warped Tour being one of them. I wonder if she used the research she did to make edits to Wikipedia as a supplement of analysis for the Harvard Business Case on Vans we had to analyze, and vice versa?

Once again, my last comment on a required blog will be on Diva Marketing...hope thats ok? The article titled "Good Relationships Should Impact Your Bottom Line"emphasizes my management ethics and strategy. I feel that maintaining good relationships and putting much effort on the happiness of your customers/employees/ supplier, etc. will in return benefit you and your company. Utilizing blogs and discussion boards is a great way to receive feedback to enhance your relationships thus improving chances to improve your bottom line.

Commet on required blog 3


I really find it hard to relate to many of the required blogs, especially those focused on technology and IT. However, I find that the Diva Marketing Blog, as it is obviously geared to its female viewers and participants, the material discussed is more in tune with my interests. The post on May 16, 2007, "AMA's Proposed New Definition Of Marketing" struck my interest, mainly because of my almost completed degree in marketing!!
As the post shows the original definition vs. the new proposed definition of marketing, many as well as myself find it very wordy. I also agree that being so in depth, doesn't leave much room for creativity and straying away from this definition.

My last edit to the Deer Park Tavern Wikipedia article that I created included edits to the formatting of the page. Since this was my first article created, I was not aware of how to format the article to look like many others on the website. I organized the material under a title "history" for easier reading and researching. Thank you.

My third edit to the Deer Park Tavern Wikipedia article that I created needed some more additional information about the services provided by the Deer Park. I added a section titled "services" and reminded customers looking up Deer Park on Wikipedia that they offer catering services.

After noticing that there were changes made to the Deer Park Tavern article by other users, including deleting material that they thought were promotional, I chose to try and "beef" up the article that I created. The other user suggested that the article needed more work. The first edit I did was to correct some grammatical errors, and wording of the material featured in this article.

My third edit to the University of Delaware Football wikipedia article, included a date change from the starting date of Coach K.C. Keeler from 2003 to 2002.

My second edit to the University of Delaware football article, included the addition of a sub-heading, "Blue Hens under the lead of Coach K.C. Keeler". Under the new Coach, the Blue Hens started out strong, but can they keep up their stamina during this transitioning period? I first noted the gain of a National Championship after 24 years.

My last edit to the Gamma Sigma Sigma article on Wikipedia includes an addition to the "Up and Coming with Gamma Sig". I added the theme chosen for the National Convention. The convention will contain a "Spotlight on Service" to emphasize the service given through Gamma Sig. Thank you...

After checking up on my sorority's national website, I found the date of our 2007 Gamma Sigma Sigma Convention. I added a new section titled Up and Coming with Gamma Sigma Sigma, and hope to add new events.
