Moneyball Wikipedia article

i was unable to finish all 3 edits of the Moneyball article because, well i just forgot and didnt do it in time. looking back it probably wasnt the best article to choose from seeing as i didnt really know much beyond what was already in it and its a somewhat well visited site. my most recent edit has stuck so far but my other one got erased some time after i posted it, oh well.

Last Edit: MasterCard

i chose to try to edit the Mastercard page because i had done a presentation on their marketing efforts over the years in a previous class so i thought i would be able to add a little under their 'advertising' section, which i did and which have all basically stuck with others adding on to one of my edits i think.

Last Edit: Volcano

tracking my progress on editing the Volcano article, i see that the changes have pretty much stuck. i didnt make any real major changes to speak of so it wasnt a real surprise but someone made a few of the words in my edits into a link to their respective pages which was cool.

Wiki Edit: MasterCard

for the last edit to the Mastercard article i added to a sentence talking about the parodies of their 'Priceless' ads that many of them have come from Comedy Central. small edit but i am just trying to get this done.

Wiki edit: Volcano

ok so i got lazy on this one too, after all i am already done with classes, but i made a small grammatical edit to the Volcano article. i took out some parenthesis and basically replaced them with commas. a small insignificant edit but i will talk about this article a little later in the week.

Last Wikipedia edit for ABRHS

the Wikipedia article for my High School is not an article that is visited often and there isnt all that much activity relative to other articles so all 3 of my edits have stuck and i dont see why they wouldnt for a while after this project is over. i chose this article because, to be honest, it was going to be very easy to edit 3 times as it wasnt well developed and i knew a enough about the sports there to make some edits. thats me though usually taking the easy way out if i can.

STIUQXELA

ok so in about 12 hours the STIUQXELA search project will be over so this is my last ditch effort to win, though i have been informed by the hijacker of this competition, my roommate, that he made it so that Cynthia will win. Maybe i can at least beat out his blog. so check out how it all shakes out here

Wiki Edit

dont know if time will alow me to get all 4 posts in on the Moneyball article but for my second edit, i changed a part of a sentence to include the word 'scouts' instead of 'many men' because i was having trouble finding better content to add, its not much but it will have to do for now.

Remember to check out STIUQXELA as the competition is coming to a close.

For a Wikipedia edit in the Volcano article, I added that Mauna Kea and Kiluea are also shield volcanoes that make up the Big Island of Hawaii.

More Wikipedia edits

I have made a few more edits to my Wikipedia articles that I wanted to let you all know about. First I added to my High School page that the boys winter track team last won the DCL League championship meet in 2000.
The other edit was to the Mastercard page where I added the 'friendly' part to the positioning of their Priceless marketing campaign.

Thats all for now and make sure to check out how I am doing in the STIUQXELA keyword competition.
