Assignment 1 Feb. 4-Feb. 9
The article i have chosen is one on Marie Laveau, voodoo queen of New Orleans. The article has some citation and tone issues and I feel like I could help contribute to make it a higher ranking article, or at least just all around better. Also, the article is not very clear on some the information included and a few of the sources are questionable. I would like to help by clarifying this article and the person it talks about.

Assignment 2 Feb. 9-Feb. 20
Choose one article, identify at least four additional sources (using LSU library resources), and add the sources to the article. Provide corresponding citations throughout the article.

Sources Added

 * Good choice. Are you planning to use the article for both assignments? You certainly can. Go ahead and do some copyediting first to get the first assignment out of the way. Josef Horáček (talk) 04:43, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * One of your sources is an encyclopedia, which is against WP policy. Your remaining sources look good. Josef Horáček (talk) 00:56, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding the sources. Everything looks good, except that you shouldn't include links to databases in the references. Those links cannot be used by most readers. Josef Horáček (talk) 08:20, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Assignment 3 Feb. 20-March 3

 * Choose one article, analyze its content and structure, and write a lead for the article.
 * This assignment makes up 10% of your overall grade.
 * Here's some information about the lead section: Help:Wikipedia:_The_Missing_Manual/Formatting_and_Illustrating_Articles/Article_Sections_and_Tables_of_Contents#Lead_Section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kdanielle13 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Article with lead in need of improvement
B*A*P*S This article is poorly represented by the lead section. Though the article is fairly short, the lead section could be a lot better as far as summarizing the key points of the article and movie altogether. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kdanielle13 (talk • contribs) 01:40, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Current Lead
B*A*P*S is a 1997 comedy film written by Troy Beyer, directed by Robert Townsend, and starring Halle Berry and Martin Landau. The movie includes actors such as Bernie Mac, Natalie Reid, and Ian Richardson. In the 1998 Acapulco Black Film Festival, Halle Berry was nominated for best actress. As far as ratings go B*A*P*S did not receive very many positive comments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kdanielle13 (talk • contribs) 01:58, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * That will do. You can go ahead and post it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josefhoracek (talk • contribs) 08:22, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
