Hello fellow Wikipedia users, although I'm pretty sure the only person who'll be reading this is my CMN 2160, Theories of Media, prof ... ''Hello professor McCurdy, how are you today? Splendid I hope.''

I'm Elizabeth, an 18 year old who is currently attending the University of Ottawa, majoring in Communications. Basically I'm living the dream, if by dream you mean a debt and stress riddled life. But I digress ...

The purpose of this Wikipedia account was for my CMN 2160, or Theories of Media assignment. We were assigned the task of editing a Wikipedia article of our choice and then to write an essay describing our experience with the website as well as detailing the various media theories that corresponded with the idea of Wikipedia. Now, fellow Wikipedia user, you may be thinking to yourself, "Wow, what an easy project!" and this is where I shake my head in derision and sigh "Oh you foolish and naive person, you .."

I won't bore you with the struggles and triumphs of my adventures in the world of updating the Goon (film) wiki but let's just say I'm never venturing into the land of wiki editing ever again. I was Frodo and the wiki article was Mordor; I didn't want to go, but I did - mostly 'cause I had to - but there is no way you could ever convince me to return. I learned my lesson the first time, wiki editing is no place for this hobbit.
