self-evaluation
I edited the wiki entry the way I did to give it more substance. I wanted to put in quotes from important literary figures like Mark Twain to expand the entry of language arts. I also wanted to look at this term from a teaching perspective.
self-evaluation
i edited and created this wiki entry the way i did because the previous post did not go into much detail about the working conditions as well as education requirements for people who are interested in insurance claims. i find the claims adjuster career interesting and exciting and i hope that i was able to express that in my editing of the wiki.
Self Evaluation
I created the entry that I did because I felt there was a need for people to know who Romona Robinson was. I saw that there was not an entry for this particular news caster. I still am having issues with getting it approved but I do have the entry done. She was a newscaster that did many significant things and won many awards so therefore I had plenty of information to put inside of the entry.
self evaluation
I edited the wikipedia page Teaching Methods. I wanted to edit this page because it was in dire need of help. It lacked information and citations. I edited in the way that I did because it was factual, helpful, and informative. The site barely had any information at all. It was like I created the page instead of only editing it.
Wikipedia Post
The reason I edited the Wikipedia page for Public Relations the way I did was easy: I wanted to keep things simple and straight to the point. The original document I had written up contained, after reading it again, more of my personal opinions about things and scenarios which probably shouldn't be included since people are seeking facts on the website and not opinions. Even though I thought I edited with decent, factual information...someone re-edited in the wee hours of the morning and deleted my information.
Wikipedia Self-Evaluation
I edited the Event planning entry on wikipedia because this is the particular career that i hope to have one day. The page did not have much but a paragraph on wikipedia so i expanded the page by adding details on how to break into the business, steps to event planning, working conditions, and networking. I created it in a way where first people could learn a little abou the event planning career then give more details as to what one should need in order to be an event planner. i think my edit was succussful because it is easy to read and pretty straight forward and has factual information about the business.
Wikipedia addition: Legal English
I decided to add a section called "Style Explanation" to the wikipedia topic "Legal English." I did this for a few reasons. First, the individual that made the page origionally did not talk about the style of language people use in the legal community. They mostly talked about the history and specific grammatical issues. I believe that style is important when analyzing a discourse community. Secondly, most importantly, it is necessary to explain why the legal community communicates the way they do. It is nice to point how lawyers and judges differ from the rest of the community when it comes to language. It is even more important to explain why there exists a difference from the rest of the community.
