Homework #1
In the Wikipedia training modules, I learned about the five pillars that make up Wikipedia. The two pillars that I found most interesting were the neutral point of view pillar and the respectful and civil manner pillar. I didn't know that the best way to handle your content getting flagged/deleted was to post about it respectfully in the talk page. I also learned that the talk page is a good place to go before editing something on an article to get it "patrolled", meaning approved. This stage is not required. A good way to tell if a wiki article is controversial is if it has a lock icon. I feel better about what it takes to properly edit a Wikipedia page, but my confidence will only get better with practice.

Chosen Article
Tennis ball Wikipedia page Tennis ball

Quality of the Article
I would rate the article a 5/10. It was informative, but I felt that there could be more information included in the article.

Skill of Adding References on Wikipedia
I feel more confident adding references on Wikipedia, but still would like to continue to practice in order to master it. I have not perfected how to use citations, but feel more comfortable than I did before reading the Wikipedia training module.

Fun
I will not be doing anything for fun. I will now be studying for two tests I have this week, reading/studying for the COM "unannounced" reading quiz, picking an abstract article for the COM essay, and crying inside. See you Monday!
