Wikipedia Update- Three Stooges

So I went to go and check on my Three Stooges article and it got deleted:( It's really no big deal, it's just that my permanent link doesn't even exist anymore.

Wikipedia- Deletion Article Edit #1

For my second Wikipedia article, I decided to try and save "The Three Stooges Collection Vol 4 1943-1945" from deletion. Though it's briefly mentioned on the Stooges page, I think it was important enough in their history to warrant it's own page. Grant it, I don't know much about the Stooges, but I didn find the topic interesting when I started doing research. There's not much there right now, but there was absolutely nothing when I started editing the article. I am hoping someone with more Three Stooges knowledge than me can add some more to it.

Here is the permalink for the work I've done so far: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Three_Stooges_Collection,_Volume_Four:_1943-1945&oldid=351504833

I really hope this article stays!

Wikipedia- Harry Potter Edit 1

As I have said in my previous post, I plan to edit the article about the Harry Potter book series. I have read each of the seven books several times and know enough about the world J.K Rowling has created.

I made the first of my edits today. I focused entirely in the cultural impact section, updating information, polishing grammar and adding references when needed. In particular, I made a mention how much the final Harry Potter book sold, and cleaned up the grammar concerning the mid-night release parties and the Oxford English Dictionary.

I might go back later and make some more changes, but as of now, I believe this was a substantial edit.

Here is the permanent link for my edits:

Wikipedia Vist # 1

For my Wikipedia assignment, I have decided to edit the Harry Potter article. I am well versed in the series and believe the article is substantial enough for me to make effective edits.

Here is the permanent link to the article:

Writing Update #1

Aside from using this blog for school purposes, I plan to use this to help promote when ventures into the world of professional writing. For those of you who don't know, I'm an aspiring screenwriter and a children's author. An eclectic combination I know, but one nevertheless that I aspire to.

Though I have developed a bevy of script ideas, I am now focusing all my attention on my children's book idea. I am in the beginning stages of development, but hope to at least finish the first draft by the summer.

I am still developing my screenplay and hope to work on it upon completion of my book. This idea has been calling to me for quite sometime and I couldn't ignore it any longer.

Peace out!
