Bare with me, I'm new to this editing Wikipedia business. I am sure this will be edited over the semester but right now I'm rusty on website creation. For now, this is what I can do. Football1502 (talk) 18:20, 22 January 2011 (UTC) Football1502
So we are 4 weeks into the semester. I think I am learning fairly quickly with the help of Anna and really trying to understand Wikipedia entries. And if this second posts looks good, then I'm doing better than I could imagine. Football1502 (talk) 03:25, 1 February 2011 (UTC) Football1502
Feb 14 2011 We are currently working on a broadband access project for TC 850 Spring 2011. Our team has been researching different Wikipedia articles, class lectures, and reading our textbook. We are trying to obtain information on how a new business that provides downloading streaming video and realtime video can build their own or obtain access to an existing network. So far, we have come across interesting facts about what is allowed through other networks, and rules and regulations for what is restricted. We then have to create a presentation and show the class what we found. Considering we all have to answer the same questions, it will be interesting to see the different answers. Hopefully those that are wrong still get credit for trying! Football1502 (talk) 02:49, 14 February 2011 (UTC) Football1502
Feb 20 2011 The latest assignment is to edit an existing wiki entry. The article I have chosen is Broadband_open_access. I'm working on creating references right now. Let's see if this works. [1] It appears that works. Now I need to figure out how to label the reference in addition to have the website listed. Football1502 (talk) 05:21, 21 February 2011 (UTC) Football1502
Feb 21 2011 Now let's try a book citation. [2] Another reference from the same book, different page you ask? [3]
Feb 21 2011 I have made my changes to Broadband open access. The changes include the last three paragraphs and creating references. I had a great amount of help from my mentor, as well as using the articles we found in our group for the presentation. I'm sure my changes will be quickly reviewed and edited but I spent the last 30 minutes including links to other wiki pages for as many words or phrases I could find in my edit. Boy was that fun- there are pages for everything! Football1502 (talk) 18:05, 21 February 2011 (UTC) Football1502
March 13 2011 I have unfortunately been lagging with my updates to this page lately. However, our current assignment is to update our user page with our topic for the final project. This involved creating a wiki entry with references. As I have updated the class page, I also need to update this page.
Topic
Policies to promote wireless broadband

March 20 2011 I have been working on updating the Broadcast license page with more references as well as adding another paragraph. This assignment was a little harder to do because it was difficult to focus on the entry rather than the assignment the wiki was used for. I added about 11 references. This was done Thursday March 17th and Sunday March 20th. Take a look and see what you think. Football1502 (talk) 20:15, 20 March 2011 (UTC) Football1502
March 27 2011 Working on my wikipedia article for the final project, I've been researching the different bullet points I want. I've been looking for information on the number of Americans who have internet access. This is astounding. I have been able to find more resources, as listed below.

April 13 2011 I have created a sandbox with my entry. There are several sections as well as my summary paragraphs. As I edit the sections I will add my references in. I am finding it difficult to be neutral on this issue because as I do research, I'm becoming very bias towards not having this plan happen. Just need to focus on the facts though.
May 4 2011 My class is technically over, edits can be made until Friday. It has been an interesting experience. Had to refresh some skills and learn how to be neutral, but it was a cool project.

Feedback from Johannes M. Bauer
editThis is already a good list of sources. You may also want to look at the Obama Administration's recent update to its innovation policy, which contains specific wireless broadband initiatives. --JMBauer (talk) 21:53, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Comments by JM Bauer on broadcast license edits
editYou made good additions. The structure of the entry could be improved by keeping the opening section to a summary and moving some of the text before the box with the contents to a separate section. I would also review the text for typos. In my opinion, there are too many references to the Nuechterlein-Weiser book, some more diversity might be good. Lastly, the original article was generic whereas much of the new information refers to the US--perhaps a separate section on broadcast licensing in the US would structure the text better. --JMBauer (talk) 03:28, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
Feedback for wiki entry - Policies promoting wireless broadband
editThis entry is very important and has rich content. You have plenty of wiki hyperlinks & references. The content is also very objective & credible. :) I just have two small suggestions: 1. Maybe in the beginning, you may consider summarizing what these policies are. 2. In the “Pros verses cons” part, maybe you could specify “pros vs. cons for ‘what’.” All in all, I think this is a very good entry. Rally good job :)--Oceanski (talk)
