 * I checked my "Talk" Page, and also checked the "Talk" page of my article, Beam me Up Scotty.
 * I reviewed the published article and saw that the image I had uploaded to Wikimedia Commons had been removed.

 * I edited the introduction sentence I wrote to be more concise and clear.
 * I removed the section about Riverside, Iowa, as it did not seem relevant to the article anymore, without the photo.

Final Article

Here are the sections I contributed to the article, "Beam Me Up Scotty":

Introduction section: Despite this, the quote has become a phrase of its own over time. It can be used to describe one's desire to be elsewhere, technology such as teleportation, slang for certain drugs, or as a phrase to show appreciation and association with the television show.

Legacy
The popularity of the misquotation has led to many new phrases, both associated with Star Trek or otherwise.

The misquotation's influence led to James Doohan, the actor who played Scotty, to be misrepresented in his own obituary. In it, he is referenced as the character who "responded to the command, "Beam me up, Scotty", despite having never responded to this exact command in the show.

The quote "Beam me up, Scotty!" has been extended beyond its original meaning to describe an expression of "the desire to be elsewhere", or the desire to be out of an unwanted situation. Along with this, it has been associated with things that are futuristic, such as the possibility of teleportation.

The phrase has also been used as slang for certain drugs. An Oxford Reference page defined "Beam me up, Scotty" as "a mixture of phencyclidine and cocaine" and to "talk to Scotty, high off Scotty, see Scotty... etc." .

In recent usage, the phrase has been referenced by Baxter County Sheriff's drug slang defnitions. It is also referenced in the book "Vice Slang" by Tom Dalzell and Terry Victor, for crack cocaine, and to describe "Beamers, Beemers", as those taking said drugs.

The exact timing of when the phrase became popular is unclear. However, early signs of the quote's usage to describe something separate of Star Trek can be found roughly ten years after Star Trek's airing in 1966, in a publication of the Royal Aeronautical Journal. It describes a certain routine as "a sort of 'beam me up scotty' routine'". Over time, the phrase has been extended to, "Beam me up, Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here!", popularized on bumper stickers and t-shirts, despite neither quote ever being said on the show.

 * I reviewed my article to see if anyone had peer reviewed my work. Not finding any, I continued to review my work.
 * I was notified that the image I uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons has been marked for deletion, so I posted a discussion post to ask the user why they believe the image is violating a certain policy. I am currently awaiting their response.
 * I reviewed my work, and planned that if my image does indeed violate a policy, I will remove my section about the sign in Riverside Iowa.
 * I reviewed the article as a whole to see if there was anything I could add.
 * I looked for possible links I could put into the article to connect to other articles.
 * I tried to research a possible citation for the "citation needed" section of my article, which talks about how William Shatner does say the phrase in his audio adaptation of his Star Trek novel. However, I was only able to find news articles and an interview with Shatner on ABC News, where he debunks the myth that he ever said it on the show. Would this be a "reliable source"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z7WlstPIWc

 * I uploaded an image I found on Flickr, showing a sign in Riverside, Iowa with the phrase "Beam me Up, Scotty" on it,, using the Creative Commons search website, and uploaded it to the Wikimedia Commons.


 * I replaced the first image I had found of James Doohan with the photo I found on the Flickr. I found this image more relevant to the phrase “Beam me up, Scotty”, as it reflects how the phrase truly has created quite a legacy. (The sign in Riverside, Iowa is of great importance to Star Trek, as Riverside is the "proclaimed future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk, the fictional captain in Star Trek- and also the character who is associated with giving the command, "Beam me Up, Scotty").


 * I checked to see if anyone had left me any notes in my sandbox, and didn't see anything new.


 * I checked to see if anyone had left notes on the "Beam Me Up, Scotty" Wikipedia Page, and didn't see anything new.


 * I reread the rough draft of my article section.


 * I reformatted the different sections of my "Legacy" section to break up the information, and hopefully be easier to read.


 * I added a link to Wikipedia Articles "Riverside, Iowa", which is important to Star Trek (being the "future birthplace" of Captain James T. Kirk, and is also where the image I included was taken.


 * I copied and pasted my "Legacy" section into the Wikipedia Article, "Beam me Up, Scotty", and published it.


 * I added a sentence to the beginning summary section of the "Beam me Up, Scotty" article to summarize my "Legacy" section.

*Beam me up Scotty (mixtape) *Beam Me Up, Scotty (D.C. Scorpio song)
 * I added two other links to the "See Also" section of the article, linking to two different articles about songs also called "Beam me up, Scotty".


 * I added a description of the image, as this is also an example of how the unsaid phrase has influenced both Star Trek history and modern culture.


 * I added links to my article, Beam me up, Scotty, in the article pages "Riverside, Iowa", "James T. Kirk", and "James Doohan", in their "See Also" sections.

New Edit March 30, 2018
(Included in introduction paragraph of the article):

I left my Peer Review for Sylvanna on her article "Eastern Sierra". I reviewed my previous rough draft of my article, and reviewed different ways I could possibly make it stronger. I checked the “Talk” page of my article, “Beam me up, Scotty”, to see if anyone had responded to my inquiries. After not finding any, I went back to my article to work on different ways I could improve it. I looked up possible pictures I could maybe include for the article after reading the “Editing Wikipedia” page. I looked through the Wikimedia Commons for images for my article, and found a possible image of the character "Scotty". I reviewed and edited the tone of my article to make sure it was encyclopedic.

Notes March 3, 2018
Hi Heather, I really appreciated your feedback and direction this week! Here is a journal of my work on my article so far:
 * I copied and pasted part of my article into my sandbox. I focused on the closing sections, and posed the idea of possibly a new section about the phrase's "legacy"- this would be a section picking up from under the original's "Precise Quotations" section.
 * I discussed how the quote has influenced Doohan's obituary
 * I discussed how the quote has gained new meanings, such as meaning the desire to be elsewhere, futuristic technology, and drug-related slang.
 * I also discussed how the phrase has taken shape over time, providing an example for when the phrase began to have a life of its own in 1975. I also provided examples of how the phrase has extended to add "There's no sign of intelligent life down here!" despite it also never being said on the show. The morphing of the phrase has led to popular merchandise such as t-shirts and bumper stickers of the misquote.

Please let me know how I can improve or what I can change, I am still learning and appreciate every word. Thank you! -Hannah

Hi Hannah, Wow! You found a lot of stuff to improve this page. Next, copy and paste the text of the page as it is now to your user page (sandbox) and begin adding the sources you have below into the text. Review the tone and focus stuff from the trainings and that PDF so your writing style matches what's already there. I'd like to read a draft of your additions/revisions next week. :) Springerhe (talk)

For my article, I chose the article "Beam Me Up, Scotty". I chose this article as there is much history behind this quote, and its legacy has provided many misconceptions and also new phrases of their own. The quote is often associated with Star Trek, however, this quote was never actually said on the show. This quote has also been used to describe the desire to exit an unwanted situation, "Beam Me Up, Scotty!" aka, "Get Me Out of Here!", as well as describing futuristic technologies such as teleportation, as well as being a phrase now associated with drugs. With more evidence, it would be interesting to explore and support the history as to why this widely misquoted quote has become the most popular and memorable phrase associated with Star Trek.

A possible source of information about the phrase, and a starting point for finding information,, but for the specifics within the article, I am searching for harder evidence. http://www.dictionary.com/meaning/beam-me-up-scotty

The legacy of the misquote even affected the actor who played Scotty, James Doohan, to be misquoted: "James Doohan... who responded to the command "Beam me up, Scotty" died Wednesday." http://www.legacy.com/ns/james-doohan-obituary/14596035

There is also a longer misquotation of the phrase: "Beam me up Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here." However, I am still searching for evidence to support why this last section of the quote has been tagged on. When searched, it appears to be on many t-shirts and mugs available to buy. Perhaps this could be used to support that the misquotation has created its own meaning larger than any original quote. https://www.google.com/search?q=beam+me+up+scotty+there%27s+no+intelligent+life+down+here&oq=beam+me+up+scotty+there%27s+no+intelligent+life+down+here&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i59l3j69i60l2.4527j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

"Beam Me Up Scotty" is used as slang for certain drugs. An Oxford Reference page, using "Green's Dictionary of Slang", defined "Beam me up, Scotty" as "a mixture of phencyclidine and cocaine, thus phrs. talk to Scotty, high off Scotty, see Scotty... etc.", aka Drugs. http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780199829941.001.0001/acref-9780199829941-e-2583?rskey=lsCDby&result=3 Also from Green's Dictionary of Slang: "...an expression of the desire to be elsewhere. 2.) to smoke crack cocaine. 3. as exhortation, give me some drugs! usu. crack cocaine." https://greensdictofslang.com/search/basic?q=beam+me+up+scotty Also from Baxter County Sheriff's Drug Slang Definitions: https://www.baxtercountysheriff.com/plugins/show_image.php?id=917 Also from "Vice Slang" by Tom Dalzell and Terry Victor, for crack cocaine and "Beamers, Beemers", those taking the drugs: https://www.e-reading.club/bookreader.php/134109/Dalzell%2C_Victor_-_Vice_Slang.pdf

The phrase "Beam me up, Scotty" has also become a quote used to describe things that are futuristic, such as describing the possibility of teleportation: "Beam Me Up, Scotty... Sort of. Chinese Scientists 'Teleport' Photon To Space" https://www.npr.org/2017/07/14/537174817/scientists-teleport-a-photon-into-space "Beam Me Up, Scotty! Quantum Teleportation of a particle of light six kilometers" https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/09/160921082605.htm

Reference of quote used to describe a sort of routine- "a sort of 'beam me up scotty' routine'"... Published in 1975. Star Trek the Original Series was released on September8, 1966. This could possibly be used to support the idea that the misquoted phrase had become a meaning on its own, and could possibly help pinpoint when the phrase began to become popular. https://books.google.ca/books?redir_esc=y&id=w0dWAAAAMAAJ&dq=%22Beam+me+up+Scotty%22&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=%22Beam+me+up+Scotty%22
