Eli Lilly: Final Post

My edits for Eli Lilly were also a success! I added information about the acquisition of ICOS which gave the company full control over the drug Cialis. I also added some useful facts about Prozac and how many people take this medication. All edits are still on the article and hopefully they will continue to stay!

Christiana Mall

Editing this article I would say turned out to be the least successful. I added a section that listed all the store categories that the mall had to offer and in no time at all this was erased. However, I added the number of stores that the mall holds and an external link to the malls website which are still there. Hopefully these edits will stay and contribute some useful information to users.

Pittsburgh PA: Final Post

The edits that I made on Pittsburgh PA, were also successful because none of them have yet to be erased. I added information about the history of Carnegie Steel and also updated the section on Southside Works. I thought these edits were important because Andrew Carnegie was a huge part of Pittsburgh's history and there was no information about him before I added. Also Southside Works has made a complete turn around and is now one of the hottest spots in Pittsburgh.

David Yurman:Final Post

Out of all the articles I edited on wikipedia, David Yurman was the most responsive to my changes. I made three edits and none on them were taken down. I only made minor changes by adding additional information such as which celebrities wear the jewelry and information about their revenues. Editing this article was a success.

Class Material: Final Post

I am posting on the final we took on Wednesday. I definitely thought it was more straight forward than the mid-term however, I thought there were some hard questions in regards to HTML. Since every little thing matters on HTML I thought it was hard to distinguish which answer was correct.

Wikipedia Article: Christiana Mall

I made an edit to the first section of the article that describes the mall. It already had listed the anchor stores so I added that the mall contains over 130 other stores. This article is very sensitive to edits for some season. I try to alter small changes because big changes are immediately deleted from the article.
