Wedding Crashers Summary

For my final wiki, I chose to edit the Wedding Crashers article. I think this is such a hilarious movie that I'm happy to know that I added some important information to the movies wiki. For my first wiki edit, I decided to add some trivia since I love finding out facts like this about movies, especially for witty movies such as this one. My edits are still on the page. For the second wiki edit, I added the fact that the movie has recently been nominated for 5 MTV movie awards including Best Movie. This addition has remained untouched. For my final wiki edit I decided to add another fun fact that the famous "Lock it Up" banter was not even scripted. This edit also remains as I had wrote it.

Nip/Tuck Summary

I don't watch a lot of television but one show that my roommates and I are religious about watching is Nip/Tuck. I thought by editing this wiki I could also learn more about the show and it's elaborate characters. For my first edit I decided to add some interesting facts in the trivia section since I love finding out things like this about shows I watch all of the time. Unfortunately one of the two of my trivia facts was erased from the wiki. For the second wiki edit, I decided to add a link to the shows discussion board. I figure if fans are interested enough to check out the wiki in the first place they may also be included to discuss the show with other fans. This link has been kept on the site. For my last wiki edit I chose to add some more fun facts. I found it the hardest to edit this article since it is currently out of season.

Panic! at the Disco Summary

Currently my favorite band is Panic! at the Disco so naturally I felt it was appropriate to choose to edit their wiki article. I also thought it would be a good choice since they are a fairly new band who is constantly evolving and I hoped to add to the wiki site as the group changed. My first wiki edit was to announce that they will be touring this summer. I was happy to find that my edit was not only kept the same but someone put the edit into a category of its own called "touring". For my second edit I wrote about the fact that Panic! at the Disco's debut video is one of the top viewed videos on Youtube.com. This edit is still in tact the exact way that I added it. For my final wiki edit I decided to add a link that readers could follow in order to purchase Panic! gear online. Luckily this edit is exactly the same as well. I'm happy that I was able to make successful contributions to my favorite band's wiki article.

Facebook edit summary

For one of my wiki articles I chose to edit the Facebook page. I thought that this would be a very interesting topic to choose since it is such a popular website for college kids and is constantly changing and updating. My first wiki edit added the fact that if any facebook photo is found offensive that it can be anonomously reported to the website. This edit is still there today. My second wiki edit was concerning the sale of facebook.com. I thought it would be an interesting fact to add that the owners of the site were hoping to get around $2 million dollars to purchase the domain. My last wiki edit was to add that facebook was currently trying to build a wireless internet protocol so that users would be able to access the site from their cell phones. I thought that all of my edits were important facts to add to the wiki and I hope that other wiki readers feel the same.

Study Link presentation

I thought it would be interesting to write a blog entry about the Skype presentation given by Jason Howard from StudyLink. His company runs programs who make it possible for students to study abroad in other countries such as Australia, Europe, India, and Singapore. Today, StudyLink’s online course directory includes nearly 80,000 courses from all education levels, over 100,000 registered members and more than 100,000 applications in progress. I think this program offers a great opportunity for students around the world. Luckily at UDel we have a very organized study abroad program which makes it easy for students to study in other countries. I'm lucky enough to study abroad next winter in Australia and New Zealand through our school's international studies program.

Last Panic! at the Disco wiki edit

My last wiki edit for Panic! at the Disco I decided to add an external link that the fans will probably enjoy. By going to PATD's record label site, Fueled by Ramen, fans of the band can purchase Panic! CD's, ringtones, and other gear.

Last Nip/Tuck wiki edit

I think out of all of the wikipedia articles that I chose, the Nip/Tuck wiki was the hardest to find things to edit. This probably has to do with the popularity of the show and the fact that the show is currently off season. The next new season doesn't begin until the fall at which time I'm sure there will be much more to add to this wiki. For my edit I decided to add more interesting facts about the show which includes:Dr. Christian Troy's character was originally named Dr. Christian Vega. The name was changed when Julian McMahon was cast in the role. In the first series, Roma Maffia's character (Liz) has the surname Winters. From series 2 onwards, her surname has changed to Cruz. Hopefully the viewers of this wiki will enjoy this update.

Last Wedding Crashers wiki edit

With funny movies like Wedding Crashers I like learning about behind the scenes kind of trivia. Therefore, I decided to add a couple fun facts to the wiki site concerning the film. "Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn improvised the famous "Lock it up!" banter". I thought this was a funny fact because it was such a big part of the movie I would have never thought that it was improvised. However, this doesn't surprise me because Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are pretty witty guys. The next fact was "Following complaints from the United States Congress, the producers of the film yanked from the movie's official web site a printable Purple Heart advertised as a gimmick to pick up women and get free drinks." I thought it was funny that the government would get so offended by a joke in a movie that most of the public would find humorous.

Last Facebook wiki edit

Recently I found an article saying that Facebook, college social networking site–and chief MySpace competitor–will soon extend its mobile capabilities by enabling Internet-style browsing over cell phones. The announcement and soon-to-be launch of the browser expands on Facebook’s current text messaging service for its users. Facebook has just finished building a WAP, or wireless application protocol, that will offer a browsing service that more closely resembles the way the site works online. I decided to add this to the wiki site because I think that a lot of users of Facebook will be happy to know that they will soon be able to access the site by using their cell phones.

Panic! at the Disco Wiki edit

Recently I found an interesting fact about the band Panic! at the Disco and decided to add it to the band's wiki site. Panic! At the Disco's video of I Write Sins Not Tragedies is among YouTube's most-viewed videos. Posted three months ago, it has been streamed more than 5.4 million times. Streaming 35-million-plus videos a day, YouTube.com is one of the 100 most-visited sites. Considering how popular YouTube is I thought Panic! had an impressive amount of views and thought it should be added to the wiki.

Miserable Failure

Yesterdays presentation given by Dave was very interesting for a variety of reasons. I think I learned some important things about search engine optimization that I can hopefully bring to my future employer. It was also interesting to learn about how much of an effect bloggers can have on search results shown by our mini experiment of Loocsixela. However, this is best exhibited by the miserable failure case. Since I'm not the biggest fan of George W. I figured I should add to the search results as well.

MySpace

After reading Becca's blog about MySpace I also thought that it would be interesting to write about this presentation. Since I'm also a facebook fan I was interested in seeing why so many people choose to participate on the MySpace network. Travis Katz presented a lot of features that MySpace offers as compared to the many other social networks. I think its a really great place for musicians to promote their music. I thought another really cool new feature was the profiles for comedians. Travis' presentation has definitely made me much more interested to find out what MySpace is all about.

Facebook wiki

Facebook has recently announced that it will allow graduated college students to continue using their .edu e-mail addresses to continue using the site. This move allows employees at 1,000 companies to be authenticated by the site. I think that this is an effort by Facebook to prevent their users from switching to another network such as MySpace. I added this under the Addition of Features section of the wiki.

Nip/Tuck wiki

I thought for my next Nip/Tuck wiki edit it would be a good idea to add a link to the shows message board. Hopefully watchers of this wiki will in turn be able to interact better with other Nip/Tuck fans. Here is the link in case anyone would like to participate on the board. Forum:Nip/Tuck

Wedding Crashers Wiki

I recently saw an article in Reuters reporting the nominations for MTV's movie awards. Luckily for my wiki edit needs, Wedding Crashers topped the list with 5 nominations including Best Movie. I thought fans of the movie would happy to have this fact added to main section of the wiki since this is a great movie and definitely deserves these awards.
