hey its rafael DaStranger (talk) 14:59, 22 March 2012 (UTC)dastranger

Hi guys, we should decide who does what? Nabatkabir (talk) 01:44, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm still waiting on the other members, but I guess we can just do a first come, first serve type deal. I'd like to work on the Website Features section of the page. Post whatever you guys would like to do as well. In addition, I took the screen shot of the page today, so you can start making your edits. From what I understood, you just need to copy and paste the content to my Sandbox (User:TheTrimax/sandbox) and edit it. TheTrimax (talk) 21:08, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Okay. I think I'll focus on the criticism features, focusing on censorship, stalking, child safety. I may also focus on other areas under criticism but I'm not 100% sure. Nabatkabir (talk) 18:41, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm kind of confused, what do we use the Sandbox for? and aren't we supposed to post information changed/added directly onto the myspace page? Nabatkabir (talk) 19:50, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

From what I understood, you are supposed to copy the section you are editing from the page into the Sandbox. You then make the changes in the Sandbox and when it's all been done you copy and past the final edits back into the main page. Just think of the Sandbox as the editing area, where your changes won't get affected by other editors. TheTrimax (talk) 19:59, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Ohh Okay. Do we then keep the edits in the sandbox after pasting it on the main page? Nabatkabir (talk) 00:00, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes, you keep any work on the page in the Sandbox so it can be looked at aside from the page. TheTrimax (talk) 00:02, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

hey guys it's me! Mirage.colloied (talk) 01:27, 27 March 2012 (UTC)mirage.colloied

^ Hi Lin. And alrighty that is good to know. I should watch that video on citing. Honestly wikiepida confuses me. Nabatkabir (talk) 01:31, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

I noticed a slight problem, the Myspace wiki page is "Semi-protected" so only good standing users can edit it. The terms say something like 4 days and 10 edits must be done on new accounts. I assume we can still do the copy and paste to the sandbox, but we won't be able to put the edits back on the main page. Do we still want to do this page or should change? Again I assume the TAs would understand, but we will have to explain it somewhere. TheTrimax (talk) 13:30, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Alright so are we going to do this page or are we choosing something else?Don't want to waste research time xD DaStranger (talk) 16:01, 27 March 2012 (UTC)dastranger

I think we should ask the TA Nabatkabir (talk) 17:16, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

^ Could you email Cathy and ask if this is okay or if we should change our topic? TheTrimax (talk) 17:20, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

i'm confused. are we switching topics Nabatkabir (talk) 17:21, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Okay I'll ask her Nabatkabir (talk) 17:25, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

I emailed her. Nabatkabir (talk) 17:31, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Okay so she replied and said "Can you manage to make 4 edits elsewhere on wikipedia before thursday? This should then allow you to move from being a "new user" so that you can make edits on that page. If you can't do this by thursday, I would suggest changing topics! I need to see actual changes on a wiki article as per the assignment requirements." Nabatkabir (talk) 22:09, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

I personally think it would be a waste of time to make additional edits elsewhere just so we can finish this project. Any ideas for another page? We need to figure this out ASAP. TheTrimax (talk) 22:41, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

How about simply Social_media. It already says it needs spelling and grammar fixes so we can do that, plus we can add tons of fresh info into the sections. What do you guys think? TheTrimax (talk) 22:44, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

I agree it makes no sense to make random edits just to complete the assignment. However I was thinking of Tumblr seeing as it doesn't touch design aspects. But If other members agree with social media than that's fine too. Nabatkabir (talk) 23:06, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Actually, tumblr is the same as myspace. What about AOL_Instant_Messenger Nabatkabir (talk) 23:14, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

What about Adobe_InDesignNabatkabir (talk) 23:17, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

^ Any of those would work really. Tumblr and AIM are probably the closest to the Myspace type topic. I really could go for anything at this point. TheTrimax (talk) 23:19, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Tumblr has the same restrictions as Myspace. I only realized this after I suggested it. Nabatkabir (talk) 23:22, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Okay so how about AIM then, we can draw it out much like the Myspace article is. TheTrimax (talk) 23:23, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Yeah AIM sounds good considering Extra features and Privacy could be expanded a lot. Nabatkabir (talk) 23:25, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm going to focus on privacy and AIM for Mac and probably AIM Phoneline. Nabatkabir (talk) 23:33, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm going to focus on the AIM iPhone application, and Robots. TheTrimax (talk) 00:40, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

We should probably put who's doing what on the sandbox as well. Nabatkabir (talk) 01:04, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

What happened to the sandbox it looks exactly like the article? wouldn't it be better just to paste the changes made rather than having then entire aricle in the sandbox? It'll show Cathy the actual changes made?Nabatkabir (talk) 14:40, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

I've just posted most of the entire article so we can all make our changes just like it was on the main page, then we will just delete any untouched (not selected) sections didn't cover. Don't worry we can remove anything we didn't change before it gets printed. But this also means we need to know what the other members are doing for their section ASAP. TheTrimax (talk) 14:44, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

I know three members not even doing anything. I told Lin last night that we changed topics..I might just go down to Lin's room (we live on the same residence floor) i'll ask her if she picked which sections to do. Question on Sandbox would we leave the original posts (ie Privacy) and then add my own or would it be just my added contributions?Nabatkabir (talk) 14:49, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Well I would assume you would correct the original posts for like spelling and grammar, then add in your own contributions, not like change it entirely. TheTrimax (talk) 15:01, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Alright. I'll keep that into considering. Hows it coming? Nabatkabir (talk) 15:14, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

I've added a bit over 500 words? Should I add more or not? (I haven't posted anything yet though)Nabatkabir (talk) 17:18, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Okay I added my sections on it! I might add more later tonight. I'll upload the screen shots from the AIM page later on tonight before eight Nabatkabir (talk) 20:00, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

I'd say that's about all you would need. I mean it's entirely up to you, but that is probably about how much I'll be working in. TheTrimax (talk) 20:30, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

I might do another section to be on the safe side. Who's sending the file over to Cathy ? Nabatkabir (talk) 23:24, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Also I'm going to add a bit on AIM Real-Time IM. Nabatkabir (talk) 23:27, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Okay so I re-did the screen shots that are needed. I labeled them before and After!

Before: http://i41.tinypic.com/2whefjb.png

After: (Part 1): http://i42.tinypic.com/t9xxk4.png (Part 2): http://i41.tinypic.com/hwzthw.png Nabatkabir (talk) 01:04, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

hey guys it's lin. there's not much else to add that's recent for history, so i'll add from the past if i can and may reword — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mirage.colloied (talk • contribs) 01:41, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Part 2 of screenshot is added! Nabatkabir (talk) 02:18, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm still not sure where our other group members are, but besides that point, I can do the printing out business and title page that we hand in. I'm not sure what needs to be emailed to Cathy so could someone else do that part? TheTrimax (talk) 03:19, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

According to the file attached on blackboard it says this "Please have the group's "designated spokesperson" send your TA the information below as either a Word Doc or PDF file attached to an e-mail. Please combine all the required information into one document so that you submit a single file to your TA. The document should be no more than 3 or 4 pages.

What to hand in: – Cover page (see below) – Screenshot of the article (or section) before editing – Screenshot of the article (or section) after editing – Printouts of the Sandbox"

I think you need to send Cathy the email?Nabatkabir (talk) 03:40, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Also did you make direct changes on AIM's main page? because thats where we're getting marked on.Nabatkabir (talk) 03:41, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Okay so I'll send the document to her, but do I print it out too? TheTrimax (talk) 03:43, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

I would say once your happy with your edits, paste them into the proper spots on the main page and tell me when you did that here. TheTrimax (talk) 03:44, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Oh I pasted my sections already and made screen shots of before and after above. Also are you free after tutorial to make things ready? Honestly No idea...If she wants a copy? I don't think so. Nabatkabir (talk) 03:45, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Does this even have like a specific due time or is it just Thursday in general. I had assumed it would have been the typical 12pm type deal, but prove me wrong. So I'll just email her the document then, but when is that happening? TheTrimax (talk) 03:49, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Before lecture so I'd say 1:30 just to be safe. Nabatkabir (talk) 03:52, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

We need to fix up the Sandbox. Nabatkabir (talk) 04:00, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Areas we are not going to edit, or haven't been changed need to be removed, but we can't really do that considering the whole group hasn't selected their sections. TheTrimax (talk) 04:02, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Safe bet remove them now and talk to them in class and if they do pick parts, readd them later. Nabatkabir (talk) 04:07, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

I thought we were supposed to hand it in before our tutorial?

No before lectureNabatkabir (talk) 04:09, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

I need people's full names for the title page. Either post it here or go to the CCT Wiki page and add it in there for me. TheTrimax (talk) 04:20, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

We should indicate in the sandbox which member edited which part. Nabatkabir (talk) 04:48, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

guys, i still dont see our group on the group page. or maybe it's just me but can someone double check that too?Mirage.colloied

We are Group 5 under Cathy 901 TheTrimax (talk) 04:53, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

I need Student Numbers for the title page too! Post them below. TheTrimax (talk) 04:56, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

998916927 Nabatkabir (talk) 05:10, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Important question: what are we going to do about the other member who hasn't done anything? Someone should tell Cathy. That isn't fair at all. Nabatkabir (talk) 05:20, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Lin, if you finished your edits to your sections can you copy and paste them back into the real article, that way we've all made our changes at least. TheTrimax (talk) 12:25, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

As for the other member, I'm willing to offer them the option to make their edits while we are in tutorial. If at the very least they can do that, then we will at least have a better edited article, but I will still bring it up when emailing Cathy the document. TheTrimax (talk) 12:25, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

That works too. Nabatkabir (talk) 13:40, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

guys, i have no idea how to add my screenshots

Lin, if this is Lin, I already got the screenshots done, no need to worry. Just give me your student number. TheTrimax (talk) 14:15, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

999301465 student number for lin! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mirage.colloied (talk • contribs) 16:25, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, I've submitted the file to Cathy now. TheTrimax (talk) 16:39, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

yea guys my bad for not helping out in the project, not gonna make excuses. But my lack of contribution wont bring down your marks nor will i get free marks, Cathy was very clear that people would be marked on the work they did not as a group. DaStranger (talk) 13:49, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
