I would like to edit this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Black_(rower). I will add a table showing his career achievements since I feel there should be another visual rather then adding more words to the article. I also want to add why he started rowing becuase it talks about what he has accomplished and his career but not why he did it or how he started rowing. I found an interview that someone did with robert and would like to include this line "when I was in year 7 at school and watching my school’s first eights race at the Head of The River. That was the day I fell in love with the sport."(http://www.worldrowing.com/athletes/athlete/44463/robert-black). They just state a lot of his winnings and talk little about the journey to those winnings so i would like to add more information in that sense.

proposal feedback
Thanks for posting your proposal. Adding information from that interview sounds like a good idea.

Adding images is a little complicated because you usually can't post images without violating copyrights. Here's a quick tutorial from the WikiEdu website that will help. If we had more time for this assignment, you could email him or a website that posted his image to request permission.

If you can't find an image that's allowable, maybe you could find another source. Unfortunately (for the purposes of this assignment) it looks like that article is already pretty much up to date, so it might be difficult to find anything new.

Another improvement you might work would be to create a new section with a table that shows his "career achievements," which you can find here (and you could use that table as a model for creating one in Wikipedia).

Let me know what you think, and just ask if you need any help. -KS (DeerJerky (talk) 16:25, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Reflection

I added the quote from the interview in the first paragraph under "club and state rowing". I also added the chart of all his achievemnets with the race, the position he got and the year. This chart is located at the top of the article. I thought figuring out what to add to the article was difficult and making the table. I looked up formats and different ways on how to create different style tables. The way the formats were set up were confusing for me to understand and i couldnt figure out how to add more rows. I then realized there was a table button that let you decide how many rows and columns you want to add. This assignment taught me that it is harder then it seems to edit something on Wikipedia. It also taught me that there are different inputs that you can put into the editting box in order to create charts, graphs, tables and pictures.
