Hey everyone! I just put my paragraph (rough) on the sandbox. Please feel free to post any suggestions! I have a question, I was doing some referencing and I was wondering how I use the same reference in my paragraph? I was looking at the resources on our course wiki page and saw a pdf that said to write the author's name. Is this correct? Please let me know!

Hey Rachel,

I added more information, but it seems there is a lot more about BlackBerry messenger than just mobile phones in general. About using the same reference, I am not too sure about that, but I think that if you have a link to a website, you could just put the URL in between the ref tags.

Thanks Matthew!

When we paste in our edits to the original article, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_England_riots) shoud we label our sections? For example, our whole section can be "technology" and each subheading can be "mobile phones", "BBM", "Twitter" and "Social Media". I'm going to label my section for the time being so I won't confuse anyone (or myself). By the way, did Amin add his stuff?

Amin1234567890 (talk) 03:18, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Hey everyone, I think we should meet tomorrow, before lecture to sort everything out.

I have concerns about the organization of our edit Also i would also like to add a section on the psychological factors surrounding the issue such as bystander apathy, and convergence and contagions.

Amin,

Not sure if meeting up would be the most convenient thing at this moment..? Please address any specific concerns you have on the talk page for the time being. Also, although your idea of psy factors is very intriguing, it does not tie into our theme of "technology in the london riots". Unless I am mistaken?

(Amin1234567890 (talk) 12:52, 29 March 2012 (UTC)) I have added a couple of references, but I don't know how to put in it's list number, does anyone know how to do that or if they can take care of it?

(99.229.96.119 (talk) 14:05, 29 March 2012 (UTC)) Hey in response to Rachel the psychological factors I am including are discussed in a social networking context. For example I will be relating only a small section to how these factors coincide with the rioting behavior specifically with social networkign sites like YouTube, Facebook, etc. Thanks

Sounds good Amin! So for the references look beside the formatting buttons such as the "bold" and "italics" buttons and on the same row there's a button called "cite". Click and and below there should be a drop down menu, called "templates" from there select the appropriate citation and you're good!

EVERYONE! i'm currently watching this video http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RefTools.ogv for references

IF YOU'VE USED ANY NEWS ARTICES, PLEASE USE "CITE NEWS" NOT "CITE WEB"

I've finished finalizing my paragraph. Matthew: Please copy and paste all of our information onto the original article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_England_riots) with the appropriate headings for each person's topic. Ex. BBM, mobile phones, Twitter, social netowrking Amin: Please connect social media to Twitter, since it follows my paragraph.

If anyone has any questions please let me know!

Thanks!

(Amin1234567890 (talk) 17:05, 29 March 2012 (UTC)). Almost done, just have to add in ac couple things and finish my citation

Looks good Amin! Don't forget to connect your paragraph! (for a smooth transition/flow) I noticed you have a .jpeg file. Would this help? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/49/UploadingImagesHandout.pdf

Alright everything looks finished, Check out the sandbox. I think it's ready for submission. I created headers and stuff.
