Wiki and T.V

I looked up the work T.V and wiki came back with an abundant amount of information for me to read up on. I think the two most important aspect that the site should provide information on is the history and for this particular entry, the technology. The definition is also an important aspect of this site since it is somewhere people go to get information on just about anything. I go to this site on a regular basis for school and when writing papers. I provided the link to the website and topic which I chose.

Wickipedia characteristics

I looked at the Wikipedia entry on mobile phones. On effective characterstic that an entry should have is the history it gives on the chosen entry. For example in the mobile phone entry there is good significant background information on how cell phones have progressed throughout the years and what companies originaged the idea of having cell phones.
Another effective characteristic that an entry should have is the "See Also" section, it is very helpful and effective for those people who need more sources or are needing other information on reltated topics. For example for the mobile Phone entry it says to see also missed call, fil phone, dropped call, cell broadcast, mobile learning and other related topics. These two criteria i believe are important to helping have a well developed wikipedia entry.

Wikipedia Post

1. One characteristic of an effective Wikipedia post is that there are links to other posts on the Wikipedia site. This allows people to click on words that are in a post that they may not understand and learn what the words mean. For example, I clicked on the Smashing Pumpkins post. Within the post, the date October 5, 1988 was referenced. I had no clue what happened on this day in history. I was able to click on the date and I was transferred to another post all about the date October 5, 1988.

2. Another characteristic of an effective Wikipedia post is that the post provides more than just a definition of the word, date, or event. The post provides background history, current information, and relevant topics having to do with the content of the post. For example, I clicked on the link to "heavy metal." Within this post there was information about the history of heavy metal, how it was influenced, chords, and themes all surrounding the topic of heavy metal.
