March 5th- Great start, Alex. What specific "missing information" have you found and where will you insert it? What about my suggestion for an "awards" section? Did you take a look at some similar pages to see what you might include? Can you date your work log and tell me how long you worked? Your next step is to copy and paste the article into your sandbox and update it here. Later, you'll move your changes to the main space.

Alexandra's Work Log
March 2, 2020 - While reading the Thorn (Organization) article, I noticed that some of the information posted doesn't have citations to prove or locate where the editor received the information making the facts less reliable. Another thing I noticed was there is a lot of missing information I think would be relevant in describing what Thorn is and how the organization has contributed to society. For example, under the already existing programming section, I would add information about their online tools: Spotlight and Solace, and talk more about them. Also, there are some weak sentences used throughout the article that could be improved. I plan to add more information that would provide a better explanation to the readers along with the proper citations to make the information reliable. (1.5 hours)

March 11, 2020 - I copied and pasted the article onto here and labeled it, so that it is clearly distinguishable. After looking through similar pages to see what I could include onto the page, I was thinking about adding a "recognition" or "awards" section, and maybe even a "funding" section because I know that Thorn is a non-profit organization but the article as of right now doesn't quite address where the funds are coming from. However, for now I am focusing on revising and/or editing the information already provided in the article starting with the information in the "demographics" box on the right of the article and the lead section. (1 hour)

March 13, 2020 - The first thing I did was change the title of the article from "Thorn (Organization)" to "Thorn: Digital Defenders of Children," for I think it makes the Wikipedia article more professional by adding the full name of the organization rather than just stating in the title that it's an organization. I also slightly switched the placement of the information in the "Demographics" box by moving up the "Founders" box right after the "Formation" box, which I changed to "Founded." Also, I was going through some of the sources that I stated in my sandbox, and I found an article that includes the same information as in the lead section, and since it didn't include a citation, I added it onto the article. Also, I added the word "non-profit" into the mini-description of Thorn because I feel it is important to note to describe the foundation, and leads to the section I created. More specifically, I created three new sections on "Content": the work, the funding, and recognition. Further on, I will be adding information into these sections, but for now I just added the formation of them. (2 hours)

Visual Editor Buttons


 * Paragraph: Set the style of your text. For example, make a header or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes
 * A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The “More” options allows you to underline (U), cross-out text ( S ), add code snippets ({}), change language keyboards (Aあ), and clear all formatting (  ⃠ ).
 * Links: Highlight text and push this button to make it a link. The Visual Editor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an “external links” section, for example) click on the “External link” tab.
 * Cite: The citation tool in the Visual Editor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the Visual Editor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Once you've added a source, you can click the “re-use” tab to cite it again.
