What I Learned:
Throughout the training, I learned that editing and contributing to Wikipedia is honestly a lot easier than I originally thought it would be. I was very intimidated at first. It's easy to understand when going through the training modules, but when you're done and have to start working in Wikipedia, I was pretty nervous. The more you start to explore the different pages and options you have, the easier it becomes to familiarize yourself with how things work. I'm still a bit nervous about contributing to actual pages on Wikipedia, but I think that with more practice I will gain more confidence in my ability to edit.

Homework 3:
What I did: On the [ [ Taylor Swift's Reputation Stadium Tour ] ] page, I want to add some more reviews from critics.

Rob Sheffield, from [ [ Rolling Stone ] ], wrote that "What a moment - a powerhouse performance that made all the different Taylor's sound like part of the same story" , while referring to the multiple references Taylor makes back to her older songs. Sheffield also notes, "No pop star goes to such extremes... this might be her most astounding tour yet..."

Opinion: I thought the original article was very well written. It was updated with information for past and future shows like who the special guests were, and what surprise songs Taylor performed on certain nights. I found it a bit hard to see where new information could be added, but maybe like a quick biography section on her dancers/band could be added. Just a fun idea. I'd give it an 8 out of 10 for sure.

Citation on Wikipedia: Honestly, I think that adding citations on Wikipedia is one of the more easy to understand components. It's super fun.

And Now...: Upon completion of this homework assignment, I will continue my binge watching marathon of Quantico on Netflix. It's my current obsession and everyone should watch it.

Homework 4:
In the classroom, students are encouraged to understand the value of the arts while using creativity to express themselves through creating their own art. Incorporating the arts into a students public education can lead to students becoming more engaged, hands-on and motivated to express themselves freely.

Homework 5:
The inauguration of a team of new characters gave Marvel a project that would introduce to the public some of the lesser known characters within the universe.

Homework 7:
Truth-default theory, called TDT for short, anticipates that when people are truth-biased they disregard their own perceptions. In short, truth-default theory means that speakers and their audience will use their default truth as a means of communicating. Timothy Levine, creator and researcher of this theory, found that that this truth-bias is not a lazy cognitive procedure, but is in fact practical and flexible to combat contrasting inferences.
