Good job on plot edit
Good job on this edit. If you are interested in this sort of thing we have a whole category full of overdetailed plot summaries that need to be cleaned up, see Category:Wikipedia articles with plot summary needing attention which has a backlog since 2007. I know you guys will be required to editing assignments, you might want to consider working on that backlog, which doesn't get a whole lot of attention, and probably has some absolutely horrendous writing from overenthusiastic fans who like to write really detailed plot summaries. For guidelines on editing plot summaries see Plot_summaries, and of course, I am around if you need help. I do alot of work with WP:WikiProject Novels, which is a bit of a pet of mine, Sadads (talk) 03:15, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Choice of article
Hi, I am glad to see that you chose to improve Safer Detergents Stewardship Initiative (P.S. I moved it to be more in line with naming standards). Though I support the idea that this article really needs to be improved (I know it does, and their are certainly a fair bit of problems), I am worried how much you can write about it. With a quick google search, I see only a handful of really non-partisan websites discussing it, no Google News results and 3 Google scholar results of some value. Will Dr. Allen let you expand multiple articles? I don't think you will be able to write a whole bunch of prose on this one, and I want to make sure you can meet all her expectations and all of the assignment requirements.

I will ask Cindy about either doing more then one article or changing articles. After we chose the articles during class I noticed there really wasn't that much information on it. Kac22 (talk) 00:09, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Good, feel free to look around or ask for help in finding more articles, Sadads (talk) 15:40, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I like Conservation Effects Assessment Project, it has plenty of sources at Google scholar search, I am looking forward to your editing. In order nominate the article at WP:DYK, you will need to write a 5x length draft in a sandbox, if you have any questions feel free to ask, and I will keep monitoring your edits, Sadads (talk) 21:14, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I like the sources that you are adding at User:Kac22/Sandbox. Remember, if you have any questions, feel free to ask,Sadads (talk) 20:11, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Good start on the edits, make sure that you are making an effort to write a lot of prose content, that is what makes Wikipedia valuable. Also, I would suggest adding more information to your citations, such as title of the articles you access, author, accessdates, etc, just like you would for any academic work you do for school, Sadads (talk) 21:28, 23 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Maybe you will want to check out the video to the right and see if that tool can help you make the citations, Sadads (talk) 21:30, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Conservation Effects Assessment Project work
Hey I saw that you are working on Conservation Effects Assessment Project recently. There are a couple things you should probably do for the article:
 * 1) Explain what STEWARD and SWAT are as programs
 * 2) See if you can find more sources
 * 3) examine the sources for common themes
 * 4) write about those themes as sections in prose, currently the article is mostly about lists of items, and what makes good articles are critical discussions of topics brought up by sources.
 * 5) Perhaps talk about some of the projects which CEAP has looked at, such as the ones mentioned in this article or the barrage of coverage CEAP has recently gotten with the Cheasapeake bay report they just released, which you can find in this google news search
 * 6) clean up the references per the video I left on your talk page above

Hope that gives you some direction for your work on the article over the next couple weeks, Sadads (talk) 20:40, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey just checking if you saw these comments. You need to focus on finding more WP:Reliable sources which to explore themes related too the topic, Sadads (talk) 20:40, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
