From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wikipedia article I chose for Activity 2 was 'Satanism'. The first edit page in revision history was very different from the current page on satanism, if I had created the page first I would have constructed it very differently than it was initially in November, 2001. I would make the page more coherent through headings, similar to the current headings seen in the most recently edited pages 'contents'. As the first edit page details; what Satanism is, the four classifications of Satanists in modern society, and finally, the groups of people that align with Satanism. I would divide the page by three headings; 'Definition', 'Four classifications of Satanists' and 'Followers' in a bold heading to make it more coherent.

Secondly, I would add a visual aspect to the page, like the Sigil of Baphomet, an inverted pentagram used to represent satanism [1] too make the page more interesting.

Tutorial 3/ Activity 1

The random article i found was on Nodozana thricophora[2]. It is rated as stub-class on the quality page and low-importance on the importance page. To elevate the article to A-class it would need A LOT of work. The current article only has 21 words and would need more information on the moth. It has citations and an appropriate reference but its main issue is its lack of content.

Activity 2

The random article i am working with is Talk:The Last American Valentine: Illustrated poems to seduce and destroy[3]. The New York Times Book Review was mentioned but not cited in the article so I opened a discussion on the articles talk page stating that it needed to be specified and cited.
