Hi, My name is Amer Idris. I am currently enrolled at the University of Ottawa studying Communication in second year. I am taking a course called Theories of Media (CMN2160) with Patrick McCurdy. One of the evaluations in the course requires me to make a contribution to a Wikipedia article. Then to write a essay talking about our experience with Wikipedia as well as connecting the various media theories with Wikipedia. The two main reasons why I have made this account is to first get a better grasp of knowledge of Wikipedia, and using that knowledge of Wikipedia to contribute to a topic of personal interest. The main focus of the assignment is to have students use media and communication theories covered in class as a lens to reflect on Wikipedia and the issues around the impact of media and communication on society. I have many interests such as professional wrestling, basket-ball, working out, t.v shows, food, and many more. So choosing a topic to contribute to will be kind of difficult but when I choose one it will be something that I really love.
