MY ILLISTRATOR PROPOSAL

I’m not 100% sure of what or how to show my project with wikipedia through an image. I think that I want my make an image that has wikipedia in the center and images of change and improvement on the side to show the work they have done for the site to make it better and more reliable. I am going to use Photoshop to blend the images and clean it up while using illustrator to change and maneuver the images. I envision the completed product will show that wikipedia is moving forward and becoming more legit.

MY WIKIPEDIA ADDITIONS

I added the section for “American Cuisine” to the Cutlet page and I said “In American cuisine a cutlet is most famously made using chicken. The cutlet is usually ran through a flour, egg and bread crumbs. They are then fried in a pan with some oil. They are used in several different meals”. I’m sure why there wasn’t a section for this page yet. Maybe it was just forgotten.

I also added to the section for “starter food” to the Ants-On-A-Log page. I wrote “This is a great starter foods for kids to learn making. It will get them working hands on in the kitchen and let them start building some independence in the kitchen. They will learn a simple and nutritious snack for them to make on their own”. most people don’t realize that it is a starter food for kids in the kitchen, it is even taught in schools. This was one of the first foods I learned to make on my own.

I also wrote in the McChicken page where I wrote about the McGangbang a sandwich that was invented by the consumers, “But in most areas it is not common for the person taking the order to recognize it by name so the customer just purchases the McDouble and the McChicken separately and puts the sandwich together themselves. Or most people don’t want to ask for it by name so they just order separate as well”. I have tried to order this sandwich by name at a few places and have gotten weird looks, it is better to just order and make it yourself I have experienced and heard from others who have tried it. It can be a very embarrassing thing to do when the person taking your order doesn’t know what your talking about.

updating on my wikipedia contributions

i added to the "Ants on a log", "mcchicken" and "cutlets" pages a few days ago and they have kept all my submissions in full.

project proposal

I'm going to do the second choice for the project. i already know of one Wikipedia article that needs to include something.

question response

1) My partner and I believe that user-generated content is becoming more accepted because it provides realism and in some cases comic relief. The user-generated content is also making certain advertisements stand out such as the etrade babies. Everybody knows them because their funny. We do believe that over time user-generated content will get better. This won't have any effect on professional production because there are still a lot of professional production coming out and people are working hard on it.

2) The article that we chose was US Hockey Team Starts to Believe Again from the New York Times. We used the following tags for the article: Hockey, Olympics, Canada, 2010, Upset, Victory, Underdog, Physical, Advancements, Goals. We then compared this article to others that only had them tagged as US, Olympic, and Hockey.

3) Transparency is important in the social media because it is a company's goal or dedication to development a certain trust with the consumer on their brand, product, or whatever it may be. If the company looses transparency (such as trust, closure, and companionship) then it is very easy for false lies or a misinterpretation of the brand or product to go around. When that happens it creates almost a domino effect that could eventually hurt the brand or even the company. However, if the company is transparent from the start then it will be less of a shock if inside matters become exposed therefore giving the company and easier way at re-establishing itself. It is still more important in the offline world because it's the same with building a friendship among peers or trying to create a relationship with a partner.
