Parts that we are working on:

Paul: Origin

Tom: Doctrine/ Belief

Zac: Reaction

This is for archiving purposes i guess.

PaulS99 (talk) 20:42, 23 March 2012 (UTC) Hey, in addition to focusing on our own parts, We can add additional sections if needed.

PaulS99 (talk) 20:53, 23 March 2012 (UTC) Hey all, "The Way of Jediism" By John Henry Phelan, Mark Barwell, Hans Thomas Finch is a fantastic resource.

PaulS99 (talk) 21:07, 23 March 2012 (UTC) Hey, I have modified the structure of our sandbox.

Tomcopter (talk) 21:34, 24 March 2012 (UTC) Gents, I have a test as well as an essay due on Monday, so I cannot do any work on the article over this weekend. I will start my part on Monday night.

PaulS99 (talk) 18:51, 25 March 2012 (UTC) Sure. All the best!

PaulS99 (talk) 18:13, 26 March 2012 (UTC) Hey guys, based on other Wikipedia entries on religion, our article on Jediism is missing some sections on demographics, criticism and I suggest that we create a new section entitled "Further Reading".

PaulS99 (talk) 18:45, 26 March 2012 (UTC) Hey Zac, I found an interesting article that is relevant to your section. It's about atheists wanting to eliminate the Jedi population in the UK! http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.269554-UK-Atheists-Hope-to-Eliminate-Jedi-Population

PaulS99 (talk) 18:55, 26 March 2012 (UTC) Hey! Another resource on Australian Government rejecting Jediism at http://www.metafilter.com/19486/Australian-government-refuses-to-recognize-Jedi. The comments on this one are absolutely hilarious! This whole Jediism issue really makes one consider as to what actually defines a religion.

PaulS99 (talk) 20:33, 26 March 2012 (UTC) Do you guys think I should add an additional section for further reading?

Zac NY (talk) 01:42, 27 March 2012 (UTC) I think a section for further reading would be great. Also, thanks for the suggestions.

Zac NY (talk) 02:36, 27 March 2012 (UTC) Tom, check this out for your section http://books.google.ca/books/about/The_Way_of_Jediism.html?id=a0l4Y2DV7aEC&redir_esc=y

Zac NY (talk) 03:18, 27 March 2012 (UTC) Hey guys, I've added my section to the sandbox and have started editing my section. This is important: Tom, when you create your sandbox reflist, it must appear as  "Reflist|close"   (inside sets of curved brackets) or else your references will run into mine.

PaulS99 (talk) 13:35, 27 March 2012 (UTC) Hey guys, when you are done with your edited section, please inform me so that I can paste it to our .doc file which will be handed in.

PaulS99 (talk) 01:37, 28 March 2012 (UTC) Hey Guys, any ideas on how I can improve my section?

Tomcopter (talk) 03:12, 28 March 2012 (UTC) Thanks Zac, that book will help in adding some extra info. I don't know if any one of you have actually used the library website for your quest for articles, but if you want a quick link to jediism, here it is: http://query.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/search/q?kw=%28Jediism%29

Zac NY (talk) 03:19, 28 March 2012 (UTC) My section is close to finished, I will be done by tomorrow for final edits and whatnot. Paul, do you need the "before screenshot" I took or do you have your own?

PaulS99 (talk) 03:34, 28 March 2012 (UTC) Hey, I have decided to paste the relevant sections before editing and after into a word document, as the instructions state.

Zac NY (talk) 04:20, 28 March 2012 (UTC) Great. I have provided another book under suggested reading that criticizes some aspects of Jediism. I feel this helps to add neutrality to our article.

Tomcopter (talk) 20:33, 28 March 2012 (UTC) Thanks, Paul. That source that you posted will provide some good backup information.

Tomcopter (talk) 23:23, 28 March 2012 (UTC) Working on my part now, about halfway done. I am taking a look at the code you guys have imputed for the section breaks as well as the references.

Tomcopter (talk) 23:36, 28 March 2012 (UTC) I've also found a ton of information with regards to the social structure of the church. I can add that in a separate section.

Zac NY (talk) 00:23, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Are you planning on paraphrasing the maxims and other content or leave it as taken directly off the website as a quote or something?

PaulS99 (talk) 00:36, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Yeah, adding on from Zac's comment, different Jedi Organizations seem to have different core beliefs and tenets. When you guys are done, do inform me so I can paste your contributions into a word document.

Zac NY (talk) 01:59, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Hey Paul, my section is finished. If there is anything I can/need to do, let me know.

PaulS99 (talk) 02:10, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Okay, thanks, I'll add it to the document. I'll let you know if anything comes up.

Tomcopter (talk) 02:19, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Paul, I believe my section is done as well. I"m going through it looking for any mistakes I might have made or something I might have left out. Feel free to paste it in into your document any time after 10:25.

PaulS99 (talk) 02:31, 29 March 2012 (UTC) OK Sure, I need both your student numbers for the cover page. You can email it to me if you wish.

Tomcopter (talk) 02:33, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Hey Paul, I just made some changes to mine, and added in two extra references, so if you could copy it again that would be great. As for the student number, mine is 999014739

Zac NY (talk) 02:41, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Hey, I reworded some lines in Tom's section. I think you need to update his part on your document. My student number is 999009148

PaulS99 (talk) 02:42, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Sure, No Problem. By the way, we aren't supposed to copy the references into the word document according to the tutorial PowerPoint slides. I think the references will be referred to when they view our sandbox.

PaulS99 (talk) 02:47, 29 March 2012 (UTC) I will send you guys the completed word document by 11.15pm.

PaulS99 (talk) 03:03, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Hey guys, I just sent you the completed document, what do you think? Also, Why should the print out of the sandbox be in the main word document?

PaulS99 (talk) 03:09, 29 March 2012 (UTC) There were a few grammatical errors in the document I sent you. I have just corrected them. If there are no objections, I'll send it before tutorial tomorrow.

PaulS99 (talk) 03:26, 29 March 2012 (UTC) When should we post our edited sections to the main page?

Zac NY (talk) 03:29, 29 March 2012 (UTC) I have no objections to the document. As for the sandbox issue, I'm not sure what to do with that. On the discussion boards, Michael Dick said, "Both will be marked. Even if printouts of the sandbox's talk page (or even the sandbox itself) aren't included in the material you send to your TA, we can still access this materially electronically/" And on the slides Rachel didn't mention anything about a printout of the sandbox, only that we needed to email her the cover sheet and screen shots.

PaulS99 (talk) 11:43, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Ok, then I'll send it to Rachel as it is currently.

PaulS99 (talk) 11:55, 29 March 2012 (UTC) When would be the best time to post our work on the main "Jediism" page?

Zac NY (talk) 13:28, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Maybe right before tutorial. I'd like a much time as possible before the Wikipedia community tears it to shreds (like that guy who was outraged at us introducing ourselves to Rachel).

PaulS99 (talk) 13:32, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Yeah,I hope they aren't too ruthless when evaluating our points.

PaulS99 (talk) 13:58, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Hey guys, tutorial has been cancelled. I have already sent Rachel our assignment.

Zac NY (talk) 14:37, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Yeah I saw that too. Thanks for doing the clerical work, Paul. Awesome job guys on the article.

PaulS99 (talk) 14:45, 29 March 2012 (UTC) Yeah, great work everyone!

Tomcopter (talk) 17:20, 29 March 2012 (UTC) High hopes for doing well on this assignment :D
