Personal Statement
[edit]Janis and I decided to do an article about the Scarborough Maritime Heritage Centre for our Wikipedia assignment as we thought it would be easier to find information about it than the LoveBytes topic. We explored several options for the topic, from compiling a list of the bombing locations in Scarborough to compiling a list of the deceased from the attack. IN the end we decided to simply do an article for the Scarborough Maritime Heritage Centre.
Janis and I split the workload into two parts, I was to work on the 'About' section and Janis was assigned to work on the activities and exhibition of the heritage center. As I worked on the about section, Janis kept popping up with helpful information such as discovering who the vice president was from his research. With that, I was able to effectively Google a list of trustees within the center by adding quotes to their names and filtering out any articles that did not contain both “Mark Vessey” and “Lindy Rowles”. I added a list of names with the findings.
At one point, a Wikipedia member (MissionEdit) came to our article and changed the referencing style to a more formal type. I was excited to find out someone actually reads our article and decided to put a bit more effort in creating a useful article for any future. In addition, while I was searching for types of donations received, I came across our article again on the Google search results and again I became ecstatic about it, although I couldn’t find what I was looking for. Janis has finished his 'Activity' portion of the article and he asked me to check for any grammar mistakes. I copied what he had done in the article and began editing his article slightly on the sandbox, such as the grammar and vocabulary. In addition, I also helped him linking the 'bombardment' with help from the Wikipedia cheat sheet. In all, I think he did a good job! I do think that some parts of the article might have tried to put the heritage center in a good light, in which I'd like it to be opinion neutral. I changed a few thinsg and left some parts alone.
Working on the Wikipedia was an interesting experience. It was difficult looking up for information at the start, but as we went on we kept finding more resources and additional information that proved helpful to the article (for example, the registry of Scarborough Marine Heritage Center). We also learned the hard way to keep a copy of whatever you wanted to post in your sandbox, as while we were both editing the same article, Janis’s portion of the edit disappeared and he had to re-write everything again.
