Week 2

Vincent, you did not do any of the assignments for this week. Is everything okay? Alfgarciamora (talk) 21:20, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Week 4

Blog posts and press releases are considered poor sources of reliable information. Why?

They often show bias in their writings as they are delivered from a singular point of view. Usually a certain party benefits from said statements.

What are some reasons you might not want to use a company's website as the main source of information about that company?

They likely put their company in a positive light because they act in their own self-interest. They could present misinformation to readers.

What is the difference between a copyright violation and plagiarism?

A copyright violation is an issue with an idea or invention, while plagiarism is copying directly from another source without consent.

What are some good techniques to avoid close paraphrasing and plagiarism?

Comparing your statements with that of the original source and looking for similar words or phrases throughout.

Week 4 Cont'd

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislas_Marie_Adelaide,_comte_de_Clermont-Tonnerre

I feel as though I could tackle this article as it lacks personal information on the character, which I possess. I could definitely write about his personality and likability in the National Assembly. This article focuses on his historical accomplishments only.

Revisions on Stanislas Marie Adelaide, comte de Clermont-Tonnerre

- Need to add more info on his involvement in Nat'l Assembly - More info on his upbringing - Fix section on Nat'l Assembly Issues — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vincentleone (talk • contribs) 02:12, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

BEFORE REVISIONS Intro

Stanislas Marie Adélaïde, comte de Clermont-Tonnerre (October 10, 1747 [date was incorrect, 1747 not 1757] – August 10, 1792) was a French aristocrat, military officer, and politician during the French Revolution.

Early life and career

Born in Mandres-aux-Quatre-Tours in the Duchy of Bar, in what is today the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in north-eastern France, Stanislas is the eldest son of François-Joseph, marquis de Clermont-Tonnerre (1726-1809) and his first wife, Mary Anne de Lentilhac de Gimel, and the grandson of Gaspard, duc de Clermont-Tonnerre (1688-1781), marshal of France. Following in the family tradition, he became colonel of the 1st Cuirassier Regiment. [Reworded his involvement as a Cuirassier]

French Revolution

He was elected to the Estates-General of 1789 by the Second Estate of Paris, and was the spokesman of the minority of Liberal nobles (including the duc d'Orléans and the marquis de Lafayette) who joined the Third Estate on the 25th of June.

In July of 1789, Stanislas wrote and shared two propositions based on varying cahiers from across the Assembly. Both liberals and conservatives alike felt the proposals were not rooted in the best interest of either faction. [Added info on his involvement in the Assembly] He was chiefly concerned with keeping the kingdom intact, yet he voted for the motion of the vicomte de Noailles to abolish feudalism in France 4–5 August 1789.

Clermont-Tonnerre desired to model the new constitution of France on the organic laws of England. He served on the first incarnation (established 17 July 1789) of the eight-member Constitutional Committee. When the National Assembly rejected its proposals for a bicameral legislature and an absolute veto for the Crown (10–11 September 1789), he resigned along with five fellow conservatives (including Jean Joseph Mounier). For the remainder of the tenure of the National Assembly he attached himself to the party of moderate Royalists, known as monarchi gens, led by Pierre Victor, baron Malouet.

He was twice elected president of the National Constituent Assembly in rapid succession (17–31 August 1789; 9–28 September 1789).

Last days

Clermont-Tonnerre was arrested after the Flight to Varennes (21 June 1791). He was released on 10 August 1792, only to be murdered by the people of Paris during the Storming of the Tuileries Palace. He attempted to contact King Louis XVI through the rioting, but was apprehended by Robespierre's mobspeople while hiding in his friend Madam de Brassac's home. Stanislas was pushed through a fourth-floor window and fell to his death, noted by the mob members as a sympathizer of the King. [Reworded certain sections of his death, added explanation of his death]
