9/25- Great! Looks good so far. Have you tried "Biography in Context" through the Butte College library for reliable sources? Don't rely on websites and reach out to our librarian Tia Germar at Butte for help finding sources. Please also copy the part of the page you're updating into your sandbox, so you can make edits here before it goes live. :)

10/4- Next I suggest you copy and paste the part of your article you want to improve into this Sandbox. (You can just create a new heading for it below, the way Amanda does in her Sandbox.) Then you can have me and other professionals look at it before you move it to the Wikipedia main space.

10/16- I'll see if our librarian can help you with sources. In the meantime, I suggest looking for creative commons (non-copywrite) images of the band or their album covers or lyrics. Add any Wikilinks (links to other Wikipedia pages that you think would be useful). Post updates for credit by 10/21.

10/25- RE: your question about editing in the Sandbox. You did fine just editing the table on the page itself. The reason we encourage people to edit in the Sandbox is so that you can get feedback, etc...and not have your stuff "live" before it's ready. Pictures of their albums is GREAT! Leave unsourced fact in the article; maybe someone else will find a source. GREAT work!

10/16- When searching for the awards, I clicked on the awards title in the list (i.e. Ivor Novello Awards) and it took me to the Wikipedia page for that award show. From there you can find the website for the award show. After going to the website, look for an archive or history section, or do a search if they have a search bar for Happy Mondays. Below is the information I was able to find.


 * It looks like the year is wrong for the last award (The Ivor Novello Awards). They actually received that award in 2016, here is a link to the award list for that year: http://theivors.com/archive/2010-to-present/the-ivors-2016/
 * I tried to find another archived list from the Q Awards but I could only get back to 2014. However, I did a search for the band on their website and they have these articles and videos that you can use (including a video of all the winners from the Q Awards in 2013: https://www.qthemusic.com/articles/?tag=Happy+Mondays
 * I'm running into a dead end for the Brit Awards, they don't list nominations and the Wikipedia page says they won "Best Band" but that award is not listed in the archived list: http://www.brits.co.uk/history/shows/1991

Work Log
September 23-


 * Assigned myself the Happy Mondays article.
 * Planning to add citation to the "Awards and Nominations" section
 * Last sentence and claim of the "third incarnation" section needs citation.
 * It has been noted that the claim that the band Happy Mondays announced that a new album was in process lacks citation. I plan to add this citation if I can find a reliable source to verify the claim.

October 14-


 * Still can't find sources for any of the awards and nominations. Anytime I try to look it up the only thing I can find about it... is the Wikipedia article. Which does not give sources, hence me trying to find sources.
 * I'm thinking that I should have chosen a different article because i'm not finding a whole lot of information about this band or any of the claims in the article.

October 21


 * Edited the year of The Ivor Novello Awards from 2015 to 2016
 * If neither I, nor Tia Germar, can find a source stating that Happy Mondays won "Best Band", does that mean that I should take this out of the awards table or leave it without citation?
 * Question: I already published a change to Wikipedia (just the date mentioned above). Should I have written this in the sandbox before publishing the change to the article? The reason I didn't is because I don't know how to copy/paste the table/template that is being edited into sandbox. Also, I kind of assumed that, since it was such a small edit, it didn't need to be edited in sandbox first.
 * Planning to find website that lists their discography so I can add pictures of their albums.
