I think I did it right this time?

OLET2129 Week 3 Activities

Activity 1: Fix the Rating: The Clemson Tigers 1900 college football team is rated as a C. It is a highly important article as it was the first season, and first perfect season of legendary football coach John Heisman. They had a record of 6-0 and outscored opponents 222-10. The C class rating is due to the lack of extensive knowledge and references on the page. The current viewable page is useful for casual readers and basic information on the season. It could be improved out of the C class range with much more extensive information on the games such as strategies, crowd, plays, background leading up to the games, and some more information on the player themselves.

Activity 2(?): Unsubstantiated Fact: “Cotton is an Angelo-Saxon English name. However, the name was often adopted by immigrants when entering the country. The name was often seen on university transcripts in place of a cultural birth name. Notable people with the surname include:” The unreferenced “fact” here is that the name Cotton was often adopted by immigrants when entering the country.

I added the box to the top of the article. Within less than a minute somebody had already reverted that.

Activity 4: Citation Needed: I was given a part of the pirate William Kidds execution in where his body was gibbeted for three years above the Thames to discourage further piracy. I found that the citation was still needed, and found a scholarly article on the historic human anthropology of the Atlantic Ocean, where it again outlined that Kidd’s body was hung for three years. Using the automatic citation generator, I successfully added citation [38] to the William Kidd Wikipedia page.
