My Project[edit]

i have decided to post an article about the college of biological science at the university of minnesota. i believe this deserves a place on wikipedia because the college of biological science is a very well known sub-division college at the U of M. there would be a lot to write about this subject. for example i could list professors(some of them have recieved many awards and achiements,etc), i could also write about resources cbs offers(bio-med library) the history of cbs at the university of minnesota, and many other topics relating to cbs. since there is a page about some of the other colleges at u of m such as carlson school of management and IT, there should be one about cbs becuase it's just important.

list one:

list two:

Thoughts from Josh. Shishi, this sounds like a good project, but are you sure you will be able to find enough material? Remember, your final article needs to be 1500-2000 words of concise encyclopedic material. The University of Minnesota Institute of Technology and Carlson School of Management articles you link to are considerably shorter than that. Will you be able to find references other than the CBS website? To format your external links, follow this model: [http://www.cbs.umn.edu University of Minnesota, College of Biological Sciences]. As for the page you are going to start, see the note from a Wikipedian below. Pharos suggests you start it under the title University of Minnesota College of Biological Sciences. The link will be red until you start the article, when it will turn blue. Remember to sign your homework. Your homework signature below didn't work out. Homework should be signed before class begins, not during. If you have any questions about your project proposal, write me a note here, and write "QUESTION FOR JOSH" in the edit summary box when you hit the "save page" button. I'll stop by later to answer. 1013-josh 19:26, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Workshop: University of Minnesota College of Biological Sciences[edit]

On 3 May, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article University of Minnesota College of Biological Sciences, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Workshop Guidelines

question: help me find other magazine or newspaper/journal articles about CBS in the news.... and also maybe some pictures! 1013-shishi 16:15, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I had a look at your article and thought it showed some interesting highlights of your school. I have a couple of suggestions, though. I don't know if it works well to make your history section a list. It would be better to turn this into prose, in a couple of paragraphs. You might want to intersperse some of these 'hallmark' events with smaller incidents in the history of the school, to give it a little more color and round out the picture. You might want to italicize the names of the departments and buildings to make reading easier — like Italics, written ''Italics'', with two apostrophes on either side. 'Interesting info' is not a good idea for a section; perhaps you could merge some of this into a 'Institution' section or something instead. Also, please see Wikipedia:Summary style for how your introduction should be a summary of the article, and should really only include things that are elaborated in the body of the text. For example, the adressess of the buildings probably belong in some more specific section. About your referencing, I removed the <ref> tags because these are only used in a particular way to reference specific facts, not the whole article; this is described at Wikipedia:Footnotes. Also, the Lexis-Nexis links don't belong here, because that's a commercial service that not everyone has access to; instead just say what newspaper or journal the article was published in. Thanks for your article. By the way, I couldn't find any free pictures online, but if you can take any I'd be glad to help guide you through putting them in the article. I'd be interested to see what it looks like!--Pharos 03:57, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I've nominated an article you worked on, University of Minnesota College of Biological Sciences, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the "hook" for the article at Template talk:Did you know#Articles created on April 27 where you can improve it if you see fit. 1013-josh 22:07, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Shishi, Hey I know you were looking for more sites that aren't part of the umn.edu title, so I found a few, the first one, while it really only has a sentence about the CBS, i think you could just add that info, and use it as another outside reference. the second one is about a study the CBS did, I'm not sure if you were heading that direction but if you were you coud use the article. Hope it helps, let me know if you need help with anything else...

This article seems to be coming along nicely. It provides a straightforward and relatively thorough account of the programs, buildings, and units within CBS, as well as a brief history of the college. One suggestion I have is that as you go forward with your revisions, you might generate a list of questions for yourself (or have a friend help generate questions) that you would want answered about CBS. Let your research be guided by answering those questions, rather than by including the material that is immediately available on the CBS website. One of the challenges with an article like this is that much of your information comes from CBS itself, which has a different set of priorities than you have as a Wikipedia editor. Sometimes your article seems to put the emphasis in the wrong place. For example, you give us a lot of information about the location of various offices, but you omit some of the basic facts that I would want to know: How big is the college? How many students are there? How many faculty? What are its major contributions to the field? I was very interested in the fact that this is one of the few colleges of biological sciences in the nation. That seems important, and I would bring that information up higher in the article. I was also interested in the history of the 1998 realignment, which seems to have been a major effort. Can you dig up more information from the Minnesota Daily about that? I very much liked hearing about some of the discoveries by researchers at the college. I would assume that there have been many studies published by researchers, and I wondered if you would like to include more about other research advancements made by the college? I think your idea about a "CBS in the News" section is a good one. Studies that have been covered in the mainstream press are notable in their own right and may be worthwhile to include here. Finally, I think you can do to more to “tell a story” within the formal constraints of the encyclopedia article. Some of this material reads as if it is a series of bullet points that has been converted to paragraph form. It conveys the essential information, but it can be a little dry. I think there may be a way to give this information a little bit more of a narrative shape, so that it “tells the story” of CBS, even while staying true to the encyclopedia form. Overall, I think you’re in good shape. Sources should be formatted according to Hacker MLA-4b (for references) and CMS-3c (for footnotes). See this sample formatting page. 1013-josh 04:43, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

You're on the Main Page!

Hi Shishi, your article is currently featured on the Main Page of Wikipedia in the "Did You Know?" fact box. It will be up there for the next 6+ hours. You may get some strangers stopping by your article as a result, so check the page history. 1013-josh 19:07, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

hey, nice work with the photos! 1013-josh 18:57, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Homework[edit]

homework 1 done earlier...cause i forgot to sign it... 1013-shishi 21:25, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

thanks! 1013-josh 21:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

homework 2... done. i just edited the first two seasons a bit..Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring 1013-shishi 21:29, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Good work. Remember to add a comment to the edit summary box to make it easier for other users to follow your changes. You may want to add the film page to your watchlist so you can see what becomes of your changes. 1013-josh 05:50, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

consent im gona stick with this project... 1013-shishi 21:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay, great! Let me know at any time if you change your mind and would like to switch to an off-line research assignment. 1013-josh 07:28, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

homework 3 done. 1013-shishi 16:42, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Looking good. I like your bulleted lists, as they seem appropriate to organizing this material, but you may want to write some body paragraphs also, as they will make your article look more substantial and help it stick around longer on Wikipedia. I like your lexis-nexis articles also. (Although you'll want to reformat the citations.) Have you found other newspaper articles? It may be interesting to do a "CBS in the news" section or something like that, reporting on faculty and student studies that have been reported in the mainstream media or that have become important nationwide for their contribution to the field. This is a dry topic, but a useful one, and you are doing a good job at making it interesting for the reader. Keep going. 1013-josh 19:25, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

homework 4 done..i tried... 1013-shishi 16:16, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay, you're all set. I moved the page from College of Biological Sciences to University of Minnesota College of Biological Sciences and changed all links on Wikipedia to reflect the move. 1013-josh 19:15, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

um...dont know what happened to my post about being done...anyways i was done yesterday...1013-shishi 21:49, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Notes from Josh & the Class[edit]

I've been trying to format you Works Cited part, but you simply did not leave me with enough information on each source to correctly identify where it came from. I also cannot find one of the sources in that newspapers archive. Ill talk to you in class about it. If you have more info for me so i can complete this, post it on my talk page. 1013-David 14:30, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

http://www.cbs.umn.edu/mcdbg/faculty/facultyres.html 1013-David 16:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey Shishi, I need some direction on what type of information you need more of. Everything I find is already up on your site. Can you give me a specific thing to focus on?? 1013-David 04:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I just posted some helpful research links; don't miss them! 1013-josh 21:29, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi shishi. I noticed you started a page over at University of Minnesota College of Biological Sciences. Way to get a head start! For now, though, I think it's best to be working on the article on your project page at user:1013-shishi/draft. You will be able to make changes to it there and get a full draft ready before moving it over to the main Wikipedia page. It will be easier to work on it in your own space without the contributions of other Wikipedia users. I posted Monday's homework assignment on my talk page, so check it out for more details. I took down most of your article and moved it over to your project page, so you can keep working on it there. After the 1000-word deadline next Friday, we'll move your article back over to the main page. Any questions, let me know. 1013-josh 03:32, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay, looks like Pharos (a Wikipedia administrator) helped move the rest of your article and its associated history. (See his/her note below.) So just keep working on it at your project page, user:1013-shishi/draft, and I'll help you when it's time to publish it on the main site. 1013-josh 05:41, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
