Revolutionary+war+discussion+section

1. This has been edited thousands of times. Besides from the original postings in 2001, the edits have been minor. They are either adding sources or giving named to previously unknown wars. There have been a few days between each edit. The most recent was done today, and the one before that was done on the 11. These have been minor and include linking words to other pages. Some have undone a comment by another person, but after a few days, that ceased.

2. The original post is very short. There are no visuals and very basic (textbook) like information. There are no hyperlinks except for names at the bottom of the page. The information is bland and lacks in depth information. There are no visuals or index to direct the reader. It only takes up 5, 337 bytes. This was in 2001. By 2004, Visual aids have been added. A tables of content are available and provide background information, information on the world all over the nation, what happen to the world in the water, and a reference page. This takes up 39,735 bytes. So, it is easy to see that the article has really accumulated information. By 2009, the site has changed dramatically again. A quote now opens the page, there is a picture collage beside the title, the introductory text has been extended and links are filled inside it, the table of contents has extended and there is a box to side with all the military officials and their countries within it. The sections that had the revolutionary war around the nation has been changed to specific states and different nations (ie. Quebec). It has also been expanded to include African Americans and other ethnic groups. The reference page has also been extended and put into APA format. Finally the last edit was made in 2010. In this edition, the sections at the top are the same. The main sections have been decided into the war of the North and divided by state. It also talks about an international war and explains how it affected other countries. It defines the terms that are used and also talks about the affects and the advantages and disadvantages of the war. It also includes a section on race and class and how it affected the war. Lastly, it provides a list of causalities and cost of the war.

3. My critique of the article is that it is very informational. It provides details that are usually not talked about in the normal classroom, and go beyond the US. O would also say that this article is extremely factual. The references and links are well documented and able to be retrieved by the viewer if they desire to check on it. My only dislike of it would be that it reads a lot like a textbook. Some of the vocabulary is very advanced and may cause middle school students problems. Perhaps adding a link to the definition would make it more appropriate for all ages.

4. The first major discussion concerns the different military actions that take place. The writers took a lot of time making sure that the information was factual and reported correctly. There was also a concern about the presentation of the preamble. The author did not like that it was italicized and wanted it to be edited. The real conflict came into play concerning the removal of the "Resistance to the British Empire." There was some serious arguments about this topic and even slander when telling the person that they do not understand synthesis. After that there was a section compiling the actual number of causalities and that was it.

5. I'm not sure how to find this information. Within my article, there is not really a major contributer. Poeple will post three or four times and then I can't find them again. There are two people who did do a little more than average. One's name is Shoreranger. When I clicked on his name; however, nothing came up about him. Another person, phantomsteve, has a whole profile on himself. Here is the information from his page:

I live in Croydon, UK. I was a primary school teacher, but have recently left the profession. I have used the English Wikipedia for research, and joined on the 25th May 2005, when I wanted to add to the entry on Thornton Heath to update the information about the Pond! I received my first vandalism on this page on 27th July 2009 - from an IP whose edits I had reverted for presumed vandalism. I'm guessing that shows that I was right about it being vandalism! Since I have been doing more vandalism patrolling, not surprisingly I am getting more vandalism to this page (and my talk page) - it makes no difference to me, as I (or another editor) will just roll it back... On this Wikipedia, I am an admin. I use the account creation request interface to help create new accounts on Wikipedia. I also like to answer questions on the Help Desk and on the IRC #wikipedia-en-help channel.

Lastly, another person named majicpiano does a lot on the page. When I clicked on their name, it gave a link to the pages they have done:

• Anna von Mildenburg (translated from de:Anna von Mildenburg ) • Theater Lübeck (translated from de:Theater Lübeck ) • Battle of Machias (based in part on contents copied from Machias, Maine ) • Arnold's expedition to Quebec (largely original contributions that I previously put in Invasion of Canada (1775) ) • List of compositions by Jan Ladislav Dussek • Fantasia in F minor for piano four-hands (Schubert) • Schubertiade • Battle of San Fernando de Omoa (previously had hoax content) • Battle of Roatán • Battle of Fishdam Ford • Battle of Wahab's Plantation • Capture of Trincomalee • Siege of Negapatam • Siege of Pondicherry (1778)
