Wikipedia Project


When I started to write my third blog today, I found out that I did not post the two I wrote before. What I did was I saved them instead of posting. Since I never used Blogger before, I made a huge mistake. How come I cannot tell the difference between the "save" and "post" ><. However, I will get used to it. :)





The wikipedia project is really an impressive project. 
When every time I need some information about some specific stuff, I usually search it on the Wikipedia.  I never noticed that how much work behind until I really edit the wikipedia page by myself. And now it's time to give something back to the society. :)


The pages I would like to edit are :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angry_Birds
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Video
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_Dance_Revolution_Extreme


For the article “Yellow Ribbon”, I suggest to split the article by including the two songs “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon” and “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree” as sister articles to the main article. By doing so, they can be discussed in further detail, without making the main article too long.


In the “Angry Birds” article, I suggest splitting the “Ports” section into 3 additional subsections including: “Mobile/Android”, “Gaming Consoles” and “PC” since the ports fall under these three categories. This would help to organize the information and make the “Ports” section less intimidating. In addition, I suggest that some of the information in the section “Other Media” be removed and placed into a section called “Television and Advertisement” where much of the information under “Other Media” falls under.



For the article “Xbox Live Music”, since it was created only three days ago, it lacks much of the information that people may be looking for (ie. Development and Release as well as Reception). Thus, I propose to do some extended research and contribute useful information to the page.


Finally, for the article “Dance Dance Revolution Extreme”, there are sections that have a title, but contain no information. For example, there is no information under “Challenge Mode”, “Nonstop Mode” and “V-Rare” though they have been made into subsections. Therefore I plan to do some research on my own in order to supplement the lack of information in these subsections.
