After a semester of editing wikipedia articles I am posting this just to kind of give a feel of how the articles have changed since i started editing them.
Emperor's New Groove
I feel that this article was not as complete as the other three edited. This is probably due to the fact that it is a children's movie so not too many people are editing it. My edits focused mainly on the plot of the movie which was not described in a lot of detail. I feel I had a pretty good impact on this article and will hopefully encourage more people to edit it.
The Usual Suspects
This article, compared to Emperor's New Groove was much more complete so therefore much harder to edit. Most of my edits were very minor changes such as word usage or adding a minor detail to the description of the movie. As a whole i dont feel that I contributed a whole lot to this article but made some changes that will make the article better as a whole.
Revenge of the Sith
This article was extremely difficult to edit so I had fun with this one in that I made edits that some may disagree with but i thought were necessary. My first edit was immidiately removed the second one stuck. The third which i feel was a very important fact but may not be well liked in the community has been removed already but hopefully will be put back by someone else.
Metallica
I feel that I had a great impact on this article in that I pushed in my edits to break down the article and have specific paragraphs for each album. At first my edits were deleted immediately, but now they have broken the entire article down by timeline and have different paragraphs for each album. I feel that this article has improved significantly and I am proud of that.

Teammate's Blogs
I reviewed all of my teammate's blogs earlier today and was impressed at how far they have come since the beginning of the year. All of them know how to edit wikipedia articles and how to keep a blog running which will be invaluable in the coming years.
Revenge of the Sith
For my last edit I put in a detail about the star wars series which i feel is very shadowed and that a lot of people dont realize. Because of this I suspect that my comment will be deleted before I am even done this post. I said that Revenge of the Sith really brings the point of the star wars movies home in telling the story of the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker.
Usual Suspects
The Usual Suspects is one of my favorate movies and I love it. My final edit on this page was to update the imdb status of movie. For those who dont know imdb stands for international movie database which is a very good site for seeing trailers for movies and reviews.
Metallica final wiki edit
I edited the Metallica wiki today which has really changed over the last couple of weeks. They have broken down the article into each of their albums and make sort of a timeline. They talk about two songs that the band covered for one of their earlier albums and I commented that these songs were included in a cover album the band later created.
Last wiki for Emperor's New Groove
So for some reason my name on wikipedia is not being recognized so i had to create a new one. It is Kawrestler9. I edited the wiki of The Emperor's New Groove. The article is very vague on the plot and I have tried to add more to that through out the course of the semester. Check it out here.
Definition of marketing
I was reading the Diva Marketing blog and saw a post on the AMA's new definition of marketing. Here are the two definitions: AMA's 2004 Definition- "Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders."
AMA's 2007 Revised Definition- “Marketing is the activity, conducted by organizations and individuals, that operates through a set of institutions and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging market offerings that have value for customers, clients, marketers, and society at large.”
The second definition is just a proposal and is not definate. I think that the second definition is better because i dont feel that marketers deliver value to a customer. They try to relate the value of their product to the customer's needs.
