Draft Your Article
We decided to edit the current Kony 2012 article because after a certain point it doesn't provide the reader / user any newly updated information. Currently, we are looking at doing an entire section devoted to "Kony 2012 - The Aftermath" or something along those lines. Under this edited section we will provide researched information regarding the Kony 2012 outcry that occurred in 2012. We will provide research to the movement itself, what happened to the individual who wrote created the 30 min film, and the popularity of where it it is at today compared to where it was back then.

It is also critical to state the fact that Joseph Kony, regardless of all the media attention, is still out there. Regardless of the amount of resources, media attention, and the amount of people moved by this movement, the man who caused this movement to occur in the first place has yet to be caught. The Aljazeera reference link below goes more in-depth, and based off of the Wikipedia training, I would be able to incorporate those facts in my information about where the Kony 2012 movement is at today.

I think it is also important to reflect back in the previous statements of the Wikipedia article that covers the impact of Social

Finalize your topic/Find your sources
After reviewing the previous three articles I am going to edit, I decided to go with Milo Yiannopulous with a focus on the UC Berkeley protest that occurred. Based off of the information between all three articles, I feel it is best to contribute to this Wikipedia page because it is relevant to many of the current topics we are discussing in class. The connection between social media and social movements. Also, there is some minor details lacking on the Wikipedia page. For example, Milo discussed and showed a donation of over $60k he contributed to Free Speech Week for security and the overall cost. There are also some legal matter to look into between the connection of UC Berkeley, Milo, and the Free Speech Movement. In one of the sources I found, I located a legal letter written to contest this very topic.

Three Possible Topics
Political Correctness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Political_correctness

After reading the topic itself and reviewing what other people had to say about the topic, I feel I could contribute to this Wikipedia page in a few ones. First, it seems people are irritated that a lot of 'opinion' is being floated around the topic. An individual in the talk section talked about a section within the article being an opinion of a 'college' student who has a type of 'anti-Trump' agenda, or so that is how it came across. I would proof read these sections to assure everything is factual, and objective base. I also believe the idea of 'political correctness' has been used around greatly these past few years. I don't think the Wiki page discusses the popularity that the word 'political correctness' has become across the world.

Berkeley Protest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Berkeley_protests

What I like about this topic is that it is recent and relevant. After reviewing the article, I realized there is a section that is missing the most previous 'protest' that has occurred. I do not think they have dived enough into the "Aftermath" section as much as they could given the most recent of events that have occurred. I could also try and add more in-depth information in each section because as time has went on, I am sure more information and minor details have came out that are currently not in the Wiki page.

Milo Yiannopoulos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_Yiannopoulos

Sticking to the more 'political' side of the Wikipedia world, given the most recent of events that happened at UC Berkeley, I realized there is not a lot of information about the outcome of "free-speech week" organized by Milo under his name. Also, I do not think it talks about the outcome of his organized event. I would also add photo(s) from his recent UC Berkeley adventures to provide a more 'visual' perspective.

Article Evaluation
I decided to analyze the following page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_social_movement and after reviewing the page, there is a citation lacking a page. Under "Examples of online movements" with footnote 8, after reviewing the source, there is no page providing the direct source. After doing further research, I was able to locate the book via amazon and I found the IBSN. I edited the reference link, removed the only one, and updated the citation as a book instead of a URL link. I provided the URL to the amazon link along with the IBSN number.

There was no discussion occurring under the "Talk" section.
