Hi Jennifer- This is a good start. I've added headers using the toolbar above (click on paragraph), so that your Sandbox is more organized. Feel free to change my headings or arrange things how you see fit. You should probably paste in the section of the Bob Marley page you're working on, so you can make changes without them going live yet. You also need a work log with dates and hours.

Also, I'm guessing those sources won't work. Wikipedia relies on published, encyclopedic works. Have you tried "Biography in Context" through the Butte College library? That should be your next stop. See link in "Introduction to Week 5" in Canvas.

10/4- Hi Jennifer- I can't tell what you've changed since last week. Could you please update "work log" below by listing dates you worked on the project and what you did.?

10/16- Wow! This looks great. Be sure you're making these changes in your Sandbox...in the words copy and paste the actual Wikipedia article into your sandbox (be sure you're in edit, not read mode). For 10/21 make some of those changes you listed below, including citing sources from the Butte Library, okay? I'm here to help and so is our librarian Tia Germar. You can email her through "Inbox." :)

Comments from Tia Germar (Librarian)
10/22-Hi Jennifer - the sources you found in Biography in Context are great and will definitely help flesh out this article a bit more. I wanted to give you another source to look at which is our Proquest database (https://butte.libguides.com/proquest). When you open the database you can type "Bob marley and the wailers" (using the quotation marks) and find a wide variety of magazine articles (many from Rolling Stone) as well as journal articles. In the paragraph you want to add you mention social injustice and political repression, there is an article in Proquest titled, Everywhere Is War: Peace and Violence in the Life and Songs of Bob Marley which you can get to with this link: https://butte.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://search.proquest.com/docview/1270648314?accountid=39071 in which it specifically talks about the views of politics, peace, and violence in Bob Marley and the Wailers' songs. This could be a good source if you wanted to add a bit more on this topic.

In addition, in Proquest there is a book review for a book titled, Bob Marley and the Wailers: The Definitive Discography (here is a link to the book review: https://butte.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://search.proquest.com/docview/217546444?accountid=39071) I thought this might be a good addition to the Further Reading section. I can help you find the citation for the book if you want to include it, just let me know.

Work Log
I worked on reading articles 10/4 from about 915-10.

10/14 9pm-10:30pm

10/21 3:30pm-4:15pm

10/28 I posted an addition to my article and I got a response from someone. They didn't like it because they thought that using the Butte College Library wasn't very accessible and a very good cite.

Changes I'm working on
I am going to find a few more cites/sources about the Wailers, find a new picture of Bob Marley (as in a photograph that shows his face, not just his body). There has got to be more history about this article so I will try and figure out something there.

I have found some additional information about Bob Marley and the Wailers from the Butte College library-Biography in Context. Bob Marley and Peter Tosh started a group called "the Teenagers". They started this group when Bob was just 16 years old. They changed the name to the "Wailing Rudeboys" and then changed the name again for the last time to the "Wailing Wailers" in 1964.

I got this from the Butte college library too. i just copies it and pasted it for now but I will change it before posting. it just had a lot of interesting things. "Bob Marley and The Wailers were popular recording artists in Jamaica for years before securing a contract with the internationally distributed Island label in 1972. Established with the landmark Burnin' and Catch a Fire albums, The Wailers became the first reggae band to gain worldwide recognition and Bob Marley, as chief songwriter and lead vocalist, emerged as the first (and possibly only) artist from the Third World to achieve international stardom. Although their albums contained some highly personal songs, they were largely preoccupied with political repression, social injustice, and the tenets of the Rastafarian religion (which included the sacramental use of marijuana). Original members Peter Tosh and “Bunny” Livingstone left The Wailers in 1974 for their own careers, as the female vocal trio the I-Threes augmented Bob Marley and The Wailers beginning in 1975. The group achieved its biggest success with 1976's Rastaman Vibration. However, Marley's death in 1981 effectively coincided with the end of the first wave of reggae's popularity."

i got two more pictures and have them saved on my desktop for the time being. i will try and find a clip to a song that was a popular one too. i think that would be really imformative.

10/21- This is what I want to add into the article but I am emailiing Tia about some help before I actually post it. I also am needing help adding pictures that I found. But here is what I want to add.

-Bob Marley and The Wailers were artists didn’t just become recording artists with a label overnight. They were actually a band for years in Jamaica before they became record label famous. 1972, is when they became internationally famous. They had two albums called, “Burnin’ an Catch a Fire”. Bob Marley was the main soloist and he was the song writer for the band. He wrote about his Rastafarian Religion ( in this he openly sang and spoke about his perfectly good and recreational use of marijuana) and political repression and social injustice. Later, some of the first members of the group left to become solo artists. Those members include, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Livingston. http://go.galegroup.com.butte.idm.oclc.org/ps/retrieve.do?tabID=Biographies&resultListType=RESULT_LIST&searchResultsType=SingleTab&searchType=BasicSearchForm&currentPosition=7&docId=GALE%7CK2420007630&docType=Brief+biography&sort=Relevance&contentSegment=&prodId=BIC&contentSet=GALE%7CK2420007630&searchId=R2&userGroupName=orov49112&inPS=true

I really liked this quote from Bob Marley. It talks about how he really felt about fighting... "Me don' love fighting . . . but is better to die fighting for freedom than to be a prisoner all the days of your life."- Bob Marley (in Gallardo 2003) https://search-proquest-com.butte.idm.oclc.org/docview/1270648314?accountid=39071

The proquest link really talks about how he was really against fighting, freedom, peace, love, violence and hate and how his religion was almost Christian-like because of how he lived in terms of how to treat other people. It also talks about his Rastafarian/Jamaican side as well.
