The final revision of new Wiki topic.

So after reading the criteria and talking to Roger, I have changed topics and have posted it up after several re-writes on Word and then some formatting issues. Here it is.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_the_Best_of_Our_Knowledge_%28_Radio_Program%29#cite_note-0

Major Wiki Edit

Found a few resources that actually apply to raccoon coats. Filled in the exact facts and also connected a few wiki-articles. I plugged in also some more content. Much harder than I thought this would be. I actually feel more like an editor in this though. When I start my new topic I will be more of a contributor than an editor.

Minor Wiki edit

I added a few sentences. It's still considered a stub, but the information is valid.
I also added a picture in an external link of a Norman Rockwell image. This is just a minor edit and I'm still working out how I want to do my major edit for the article. Here is a history link as well.

Wikimandments

In order to make a better Wikipedia and also create better human understanding of subjects the following commandments have been created.

1. Report sources and how it relevant to the subject.
2. If only opinions are expressed it should be stated as such, and the speculation to what end the reader is supposed to obtain.
3. That if possible multiple references should solidify a point.
4. Links, to follow up on a subject.
5. Pictures, or other media to support and argument.
6. Discussions should be emphasized on the wiki post.
7. Tags should be clear to the subject.
8. Some information about the author, and why his/her viewpoint should be considered.
9. Subjects should generated interest.
10. Future applications on subject should also be posted.

Wiki needs an editor.


I simple found an article at random that needs a makeover according to the wikipedia guidelines.

The subject is about raccoon coats.

The basic thoughts are about this article is:

Where is the references? How is this fact from opinion? What affects did this have? How did the movement affect raccoons? What made them popular; and so forth...
