Dancing+With+The+Stars+Discussion+Section

1. Account for the postings (number of revisions, time range from first to last, notation of periods of activity) First Revision was June 16, 2005 which lists a very brief description of the new show and its contestants. The next revision added a link to the Australian version of the show. The latest revision was done October 30, 2010. The revisions for the next year include previous winners, current contestants and newest seasons. Each year seems to have new sections added to the wiki page. Each week the page is updated with the competitors results, and judges scores to keep followers caught up. For example, the Controversies over fan voting, Season Finales, Judges Scoring, and TV Ratings. The latest posting for the site was a very long and detailed website. It included a recap of all the previous seasons’ winners and their scores and even a section with “Top 10 Scoring Couples by Averages”. 2. Describe progress or development in the article from the original post to the most recent update The progress with the website is amazing when wanting to see how the show first started out with the first set of couples and now has progressed into many of the same returning dancers. Each year brings variety and there is always something new added to the site with regards to the sections and the new dancers/partners. 3. Critique the quality of the article in its current state (writing quality and factual information) In its current state, this article is very factual with all of its precise information in regards to scores and the names of all the dancers. It has information such as, Top Scoring Couples, Scoring and Voting Procedure, Payment for being on the show, Injuries accrued on the show. The quality of the wiki is acceptable and is paired with the factual information is impressive. Each contribution and revision aided the viewer to be able to follow along and get results from the website in case they missed the show. 4. Describe the discussion around the article The discussion around the newest and most current wiki website, Dancing With The Stars, is that there is a new show starting in November called Skating with the Stars. The website as a whole collection of revisions equals a very reliable, informative, and useful tool for this particular subject. Although anyone can go on the site and alter the information, it seemed very consistent with what I have been watching myself from week to week. 5. Provide background information on the most active contributors. The most active contributors were numerous. Many, many viewers watch the show and it seems obvious that lots of viewers are willing to log on and make sure their voice is heard by updating information for us weekly.
