Hello all, I am very new to Wikipedia and it has taken me some time to figure out to communicate with my peers and communicate information for the rest of the Internet. I do find the training useful thanks to the way it explains each section to you for easy use. Our class is studying Stalinism and my first posts of my wiki career will be about Stalinism but hopefully it is useful information.

I am going very broad with my first article I read about Stalinism on wikipedia. After reading the article for a bit I see a lot of similarities in the knowledge I have gained from 2-3 weeks of studying the subject. The article on Stalinism tells me information about the good and bad times that were apart of everyday life in the Soviet Union. At times there was hope for better days in the Soviet Union and for a while a good amount of the citizens in the Soviet Union celebrated some great times because they were encouraged to. That being said, there were also hard time and lots of rules and norms to follow in the Soviet Union.

I chose to pick the article The History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks). The way the wiki page describes the book is as a kinda of bible for Stalin and his followers at the time. There is a lot of tension in this time, World War 2 is upon the socialist and communist that are in disagreement in that part of the world. The Blosheviks come into power and promise great things for their countrymen but that doesn't necessarily mean it happened the way they wanted it to. My goal in this edit it to find more facts on the book and add some helpful tie bits to make the article whole.

In my class we had to do a group project via wikipedia for a grade. Our group chose to do edits on an article that was already out there on wikipedia. The article is about the cause and effects of the Evacuation in the Soviet Union. I have found a couple resources that tie directly to the topic at hand and hope it it is very beneficial to our team. Our team has done a great job of communicating with each other and seem to be on the same page for the project.
