Cheers Alex Brown

I just wanted to thank you for a great semester. I learned a lot and I'm sure it will stick with me for many years to come. You taught a great class and a lot of students will miss out of a great class because your retiring. Good luck with the website, keep up the love for Barbaro and hopefully I'll be sending you a link to a website I created that makes me successful in the future. Thanks again and I'll see you around. Cheers!

Final Comments on Group Members Blog

I noticed that Chris was a New Yorker because of his Wiki articles. I'm a big baseball fan so I decided to comment on his article about Roger Clemons and the Yankees. I realize that Roger Clemons is a key acquisition for the team but the Red Sox currently have the best record in the major leagues. Check out Chris's Blog for some wiki edits on the YANKS.

Steve Nash Wrap Up

The editing I did to Steve Nash was pretty good. I actually added two different headings while putting a lot of information under them. I hoping people will continue to add to what I have already said and the additions will be successful. I was very excited that I was able to add stuff about his athletic career because as I stated earlier in my blog it was complicated in other instances. I know a lot about sports so I knew that Steve Nash would either have another MVP season or would be in the running. That was a garunteed addition which I kept up with when the MVP was announced. Other then Kevin Durant I would have to say Steve Nash was my favorite because I was able to add categories that I know will continue to grow. I will keep checking out the page to see what kind of additions will be made under my headings. All in all Steve Nash was a good choice to edit on Wikipedia.

Steve Nash Final Edit

While reading through Steve Nash, I realized that all of his statistics were in the NBA. The guy had a great college career that people need to know about. I simply added a college career heading as I did earlier with the 06-07 season in my previous edit. There is much to learn about Steve Nash's college career at Santa Clara, so if you want to take a look, check out Steve Nash: College Career

David Beckham Wrap Up

Beckham was a very interesting article to edit. Although he plays soccer and is coming to the United States, I found it easier to edit his personal life. David Beckham is so famous that almost everything he's ever done is on the Wiki page. I could add nit picky stuff about his soccer career but they aren't important when learning about Beckham. He is very succesful and I was able to find a lot of information on his personal life which enabled me to add it to the page. The first article I edited was about his recent soccer career but it was changed out of my words into someone elses. The information is still the same but someone thought that the wording needed to be different. The additions that I made to his personal life remained in my words which I thought was pretty cool. I'm sure with Beckham coming to the United States, I will be able to continue to add a lot of information about his soccer career. All in all, I had fun with the Beckham edit.

Terrell Owens Wiki Wrap Up

Editing Terrell Owens turned out to be quite the task. It was actually the hardest one for me because it was during his offseason. I thought that since he is usually in the news because of his antics that he would still make it during the offseason. I thought that he might do something stupid or say something stupid (like he usually does) and I would be able to blog about it. But for some reason, he stayed out of the news which made it pretty difficult. Although, I completed the three edits, I couldn't add as much as I had wanted to. I edited one piece of information and added two other pieces of information. The additions that I made were kept the way I left them and the edit was rather recent but I believe it will stay as is. All in all, this was the hardest Wikipedia article for me. To check out TO, look at his Wiki article at TO "Mr. Controversial"

Kevin Durant Wrap Up

Well its about that time to wrap some things up. My wikipedia edits for Kevin Durant weren't too tough for me. As I stated earlier in my blog, I'm a very big Longhorn fan so editing Durant articles were actually rather fun for me. As far as the actual additions I made to the article, they were only touched minorly. My first addition had edits to it but the rest were kept the same which was I was rather happy about. I think Kevin Durant is going to be a great player in the NBA and I believe that his Wiki article will continiue to get longer as the years go by. Hopefully, I will continue to add on to his page and keep everyone updated on how he does in the future. Check out Kevin Durants Page and National Player of Year
